Patience isn’t weakness—it’s leadership.
Anthony Thompson explains how neuroscience, REBT, and Biblical wisdom converge to help fathers regulate emotions, control tone, and model strength for their children.

What You’ll Learn 👇

• The amygdala 101: why anger feels instant (Harvard Mind Lab 2020)

• The REBT belief that causes overreaction (“I’m losing control”)

• Why calm dads raise calm kids (neuroscience mirror effect)

• The 3-second rule that rewires emotional habits

FAST Breakdown
Focus → identify your triggers
Awareness → catch physical cues (tight chest, tone)
Strategy → create a Reset Routine — pause + pray + reframe
Transformation → lead your home with steady peace

🔥 Challenge: The 3-Second Rule — Pause, breathe, and ask “What does love require of me right now?”

🧩 Reflection Questions:
1️⃣ What emotion are you modeling most for your kids?
2️⃣ What does your tone teach them about leadership?
3️⃣ Where do you need grace to grow?
