Name your favorite cool down technique.

Wait until there is a pause/ your turn. No interruptions.
You go into the kitchen and your mom is laying on the floor and is not responding when you call her name. How should you react?
This is a BIG problem. You should call 911.
Your friend invites you over to dinner. Right when his mom serves the food, you notice it's something you don't like. You should ______

Politely ask if everything is okay.

When should you practice your cool down technique? Only when you are overwhelmed or should you practice it when you are feeling fine too?
All the time. If you practice when you are happy it helps you do it better when you are overwhelmed.
If you are talking with someone and she says "On Tuesday when we go to Second Harvest..." and you know she meant Thursday, should you correct her?
You may politely ask her when she is DONE talking, "Did you mean on Thursday?".
