Take a minute to slow down and practice purposeful breath. It calms you and oxygenates your brain. Who doesn’t need more brain oxygen? I certainly don’t not need it.
Breathe in through your nose for four slow counts.
Hold the breath for four.
Breathe out for four.
Hold the breath for four.
Repeat these breaths until your children give up hope of getting your attention ever again.

I have TOTALLY noticed this helping! Sometimes when I’m heading home to my yoga mat I start my yoga breathing in the car, and I have totally noticed how much it calms and centers me, even while driving.

It seems cheesy but breathing is the answer. Seriously.
