After I read the book and practiced the exercises, I was much calmer during the next red alert sirens. Instead of my usual panic and shouting, I gathered my children quietly and calmly directed them to the place we use as shelter. My children were amazed. I did the exercises with them which helped calm them, too. I believe this book is a must for every mother, every person everywhere and especially here in Israel.
