When we're frustrated at our kids, we tend to move with haste. Everything feels like an emergency that needs to be handled immediately.
I know it sounds almost too simple to be effective, but talking out loud can help you slow down.
Taking time to label your emotions, talk through what's happening in the moment and how it's impacting you can have such a powerful impact.
Doing this teaching your child:
✔Intense emotions are normal
✔How to handle intense feelings in the moment in healthy ways
✔Feelings aren't good or bad. They just are. It's what we do in response to our intense feelings that matters.
✔Feelings come and go
In this video, I'll share exactly what to say in the moment when you're feeling frustrated in front of your kids.
