✨Slow it down at the end of the day!

�A story, a snuggle, a little chat — it’s amazing how much those simple moments matter. 💛

When we pause and connect, kids feel safer, we feel closer, and the whole world softens just a bit. 🌙

This is the magic hour. ✨

🧐 Is PMT the same as traditional discipline methods?

PMT emphasizes proactive strategies, such as reinforcing positive behavior and teaching children how to manage their emotions. Punishment is used in PMT, but in a structured, predictable, and non-harsh way.
