Inner Child Daily Practice
Notice, comfort, protect, delight
Inner child work only changes anything when it becomes ordinary. Four small jobs, done imperfectly, most days.
Notice
Once a day, ask what this part is feeling — before it has to escalate to be heard.
Comfort
One concrete comforting act, not a phrase. Warmth, rest, contact, being outside.
Protect
One limit held on this part's behalf, however small.
Delight
One thing done because it is enjoyable, with no productive justification.

Review
Which job is hardest for me, and what the critical voice says about it
My reply to that voice
What was different by the end of the week
Small and repeated beats deep and rare
Reparative work lands through frequency. Five ordinary minutes most days outperforms one intense session a month.
