Most parents walk through the door and immediately start settling in.
Before my hand is even on the door handle I am already working.
Scanning the entrance. Reading who is coming and going. Clocking the energy before we ever step inside.
By the time my daughters cross that threshold I already know what we are walking into.
That is not anxiety. That is the job.
S. Scan for exits.
A. Assess the room.
F. Find who does not fit.
E. Eyes on your kids.
Four letters. Thirty seconds. Every single door.
Fear does not protect your kids. A framework does. Comment “SAFE” I will send you mine.
