Q1: What’s the main takeaway of this episode?

Add 10-minute buffers, pre-plan tricky transitions, carry reliable snacks, and use one sentence to set scope.
Q3: Does overcommunication work with toddlers?
It helps, but don’t expect announcements to change big feelings. Pair words with rituals and clear next steps.

The same playbook improves team transitions, reduces rework, and builds momentum via small wins.
Q5: What’s next in the series?
“Stand-Ups, Sit-Downs & Meltdowns”, daily rhythms and emotional detours that actually work.
