When is the best time to practice calm-down songs?

Practice when your child is already calm, for example after breakfast or before bed. A strategy learned in a quiet moment is much easier to reach for in the middle of a meltdown than one heard for the first time.

How can RepeatWatch help in the moment?

Open the song your child knows and choose Repeat one, or drag A and B around just the breathing part so it loops. Set Stop after to two or three loops, so the video ends on its own once your child has settled.
