Serve tea.  I don't just mean herbal tea, I mean have a regular tea
ceremony.  I've been told that making tea, old fashioned style, really
helps calm  people down.  You have to rinse the kettle, put it on to boil,
wait, rinse the tea pot, put the tea in, pour the hot water in, wait just
exactly the right time, strain the tea, pour, sugar and cream, if desired,
and then wait till it cools.  All that waiting gives a "calm down" period. 
I've been told that it really does help, with other things as well, because
it teaches patience...
