Why movement helps
Bodies carry the day. A brief routine signals 'we're safe now', releasing tightness that turns into snappy voices and power struggles.
A simple flow
Toe-to-head shake (30s), shoulder rolls (30s), cat-cow (60s), slow reach-and-fold (60s), 'lion breath' (30s). Kids can add a move.
Pair it with connection
End with one appreciation each. Track the ritual in Mom&Dad Tracker as 'evening reset' to see how it changes your mood curve.
After a week
Parents report fewer snap-backs and smoother transitions to dinner and bedtime.
