Imagine this scenario:
Your child misbehaves in a huge way, leaving you frustrated, disappointed, and even embarrassed. How do you stay calm?
I know it is HARD to stay calm under these circumstances, but I am here to help, my friend. I have a framework to share with you today that will help you to keep your cool, no matter what you child does.
THE BASICS:
- Check your mindset.
- Think through your reaction in advance.
- Don’t take the behavior personally.
- Don’t dish out consequences in anger.
- Treat mistakes as an opportunity to learn.
