What’s the biggest parenting challenge for you? If you’re like many parents, it’s keeping your cool when your kids are getting on your last nerve!
Why is it so important to at least look calm and collected as we provide consequences for our children’s misbehavior? Because…
| • | Anger creates resentment and rebellion. |
| • | Empathy ups the odds of genuine remorse and responsibility. |
| • | Anger says, "I can barely handle you!" |
| • | Empathy communicates, "I'm such a great parent that I can handle you without breaking a sweat!" |
| • | Anger creates kids who get sneaky and do irresponsible things behind our backs. |
| • | Empathy creates kids who are more likely to behave even when we aren't watching them. |
