We share a practical Shabbos game plan that turns a loud table into a kinder one using structure, kid input, and small, specific praise. We close with rituals that ground us, bless our kids, and help us reset for a warmer week ahead.

• normalising Shabbos chaos and setting expectations
• planning seating, turns and roles before Shabbos
• using family minhag to reduce conflict
• inviting kids to co-create solutions
• preventing meltdowns with thoughtful prep
• running an after-action review post-Shabbos
• using specific praise to reinforce wins
• protecting one grounding ritual for yourself
• closing with blessings, cuddles and gratitude
