Weekly huddles and the repair scripts changed our evenings. Fewer repeat arguments, more honest check-ins, and my kids now name feelings without melting down. It’s practical, short, and it actually stuck for our family.

As an operations manager, the one-word check-ins and feedback framework smoothed tense meetings. Projects move faster, fewer misunderstandings, and my team says work feels calmer without losing standards. SEL made accountability easier, not softer.

Steady in the Storm gave me something to do in the moment. The reset steps and language for repair helped my foster son feel safe enough to talk. Fewer blow-ups, quicker recovery, more trust.
