Listen, I have heard more than once in my life that I am pretty calm considering I have a hundred children. (Four, I have four.) People have been around me and have seen me handle meltdowns and toddlers bolting and 4 stinky diapers at once and the screaming and the fighting and all the glorious wonder that comes from having a lot of kids so close in age. So yes, I will admit that I have had a lot of opportunities to practice this calm mindset. And before I tell you all my tricks and secrets, I want to tell you a quick story.
