This is such a great resolution, Perna. I think I need to try a little harder to not pull in and shut down.
I
curl up (literally or figuratively)
hide behind my hair
look at the clock (so much that he's taken to pointing it out..."just fifteen more minutes of
opportunity!")
rock myself/fidget my hands/etc.
