Just as our kids mirror our stress, they can also mirror our calm. You probably know calm people, those who always project an aura of well-being and are able to maintain a sense of control while accepting the messiness in the world around them. They are the ones you want to call in a crisis, or whose presence you crave when you’re feeling edgy, because they somehow help level you out. Without preaching, without even doing much of anything, these people communicate calm and confidence to those around them, and help others develop a similar sense of balance in their own lives.
