When the House Gets Loud

Purpose: Find the hour at home when everything tips over, and change something about it.

When to use: Use this if there is a time of day at home when you always end up shouting.

Worksheet prompts

1. What time of day does the house tip over? What is going on right then?
2. What makes that hour harder?
3. Three changes to that hour. Small and real, not a whole new routine.
   Eat earlier. Ten minutes alone first. Music on. One less task.
4. What will you tell the people you live with about this?

Changing the hour is often easier than changing yourself inside it.
