"Always", "never", "everyone", "no one" signal overgeneralization.

Run your current thought through the list of ten to pinpoint exactly which mental trap caught you.

Your negative self-thought — if 100 people who know you heard it, how many would agree?

In fights, "you always..." is a no-return point. Swap with "today I noticed...".

Don't ask "do we need another hire?" — ask "if we started today with nobody, who'd we hire first?".

Read aloud to your child 15 min daily — even after he reads independently.

Every sound/gesture from your child = a "serve"; respond promptly = a "return." This game builds his brain.

Aim for 21,000 words a day with your child — guarding against the "30-million-word gap."
