break it down so far and increase the stress level of the situation gradually with small enough

tasks so that the learner really gets to be successful. It's both that we want to give the

learner the possibility to calm down, so to speak, but it's also that we want to give the learner

the possibility to act when in that high stress environment or that high stress situation.

Hey there, fellow training nerds. I'm Hannah Branigan, teacher, trainer, podcaster, stressed out homeschooler, and author of the book, Awesome Obedience, which you can pick up from clickertraining.com.

So, how are you doing these days?

Do you feel a little stressed out lately?

Because I do.

In fact, that's part of what motivated this week's topic.

But before we get to that, I need to thank a bunch of really awesome people for supporting the podcast on Patreon.

So as before, I'm going to go with first names and last initials,

hopefully strike a balance between expressing my gratitude and protecting your privacy.

And I apologize if I mess up your name.

So let me say thank you to Emily Y, Leslie G, and W, Shelley Shelley W Rachel L
