The 5-Minute Evening Reset

1
Signal the shiftLights down, voice down, and the line that starts it.

Anchor calmSit close. One slow hug. Three slow breaths together.
3
Close the loopOne short song, then the sentence that ends the day.

"I'm not tired" is not a request for a debate, but it reliably starts one.

The reset handles it with a single line that concedes the feeling and holds the boundary anyway — you acknowledge they're not ready, and bedtime still happens. It ends the negotiation without a fight, because there's nothing left to negotiate against.

It's printed on the page under "If There's Resistance", so it's there before you need it rather than after.
