How They Stay Calm
They take deep breaths, like when you blow out birthday candles, that helps them feel safe inside.
They think things through, like solving a puzzle. Instead of getting upset, they say, "Okay, so my ice cream is on the floor… I can just pick it up."
Why It Feels Like Magic
It might look like magic when someone stays calm all the time, but really, it’s just practice. Like learning how to ride a bike or tie your shoes. The more they do it, the easier it gets.
So next time you see someone who never yells, remember: they’re just really good at staying cool, like water in a glass that never gets hot.
