Stay Calm: Growing kids often tend to trigger painful emotions in us. As a result, we parents may end up making poor decisions with no second thoughts since we try to protect ourselves, without necessarily caring about what’s right for our kids. We often tend to lose patience and become unkind to them when we get angry or agitated. As a result, guilt follows.
What needs to be understood is that all emotions are acceptable, but all behaviors are not. We often act out our own emotions in unhealthy ways with our family members and children. Rather than being able to control our feelings, when our feelings take control of us, we have a hard time helping our kids mature and cope with their lives. The key is to remain calm while providing a positive response, rather than acting out or displaying excessive anger.
Here are some ways to help you become a calm and stress free parent.
