• how rules and limits create safety
• authentic happiness as competence and confidence
• modeling calm with breath, labeling, and action
• solution-oriented scripts to reduce blame
• practical routines and micro-skills for resilience
• when to use humor and when to offer empathy

So our takeaway from this week, I challenge you that when you have a problem, you say Gam Zu L'Tova.
