My middle son, Zachery is almost 4 years old. He has a propensity to cry and sob over issues that do not warrant such a reaction. When calming him down when he is overly upset I will look him in the eye and say "let's take deep breaths."
With that in mind, the other morning I was feeling a little overwhelmed with chores, work, and life and found myself crying as I was talking with my husband (perhaps the apple doesn't fall far from the tree). This conversation happened over breakfast in the kitchen so the boys were listening and at the appropriate moment, Zachery looked up at me with smile and said, "just take deep breaths mom."
And all was right with the world once again.
