Episode notes
Protect The Kitchen Work Zone
- When cooking, reclaim the small workspace and set boundaries so people don't crowd the "golden triangle."
- Tell family to step out of the hot zone and only enter when invited to help safely and effectively.
Post Dinner Plans Publicly
- Write daily dinner plans on a visible whiteboard to reduce repeated "what's for dinner" questions.
- A visible menu calms anxious children and cuts repetitive interruptions.
Use A God-Mic For Quick Responses
- Use a walkie-talkie or single authoritative signal to reach kids behind headphones and enforce quick responses.
- Set a clear consequence (e.g., screens off) if they don't respond within a set time.
