- I start in exactly the right state but somewhere as the event grinds on
- When my child melts down and I ask what’s wrong, they genuinely can’t tell me
- I keep telling my child to calm down while I’m clearly losing it myself, and I can feel how hollow that is
- My child can tell me they’re upset but then has no idea what to actually do about it
- I worry I’ve accidentally taught my child that only being calm and happy is acceptable, because now they hide it or insist they’re "fine" when they’re clearly upset
