Parental burnout isn't a myth. Three core symptoms, four steps to survive before collapse.

Every Friday, write 3 feedbacks (positive + constructive) for 3 people and deliver by Monday.

Repeat the same refusal in the same words calmly, no matter how the other person reshapes the pressure.

Say no in three sentences: thanks, refusal, closing — with no "sorry" or justification.

Memorize one 7-word refusal sentence and rehearse it until it emerges automatically under pressure.

Say "no, I can't" — complete sentence. No explanation, no apology.

Each week, spotlight a different talent per child — no comparisons.
