Parenting and Emotions

A great article.. http://www.ahaparenting.com/blog/Change_Your_Child

We’ve all been there. Once we develop the insight to recognize these less favorable teachings we can stop thinking about change and start changing in small ways… baby steps. We’ll never be perfect but it’s never too late to turn things around in a more positive direction although it’s hard to take a deep look into ourselves. Remember that at times we are triggered, we must weather the storm before we act. We wouldn’t teach a child to swim at the very moment they are drowning, right? Same for misbehavior… wait before acting or “teaching lessons” and take deep breaths! Will work for spouses, too 😉
