I just found the greatest article on controlling my anger and loving my children unconditionally, even when I'm feeling very upset. I must create a bigger space between the stimulus (my child's behaviour) and my response so that I can react to their behaviour in love. I can do that by taking my own, personal time-out.

Seems so simple, but so friggen tough.
Love this quote.
ReplyDeleteI used to take a time-out when I was a teacher sometimes.
Can you enlist your children to each come up with some "low cost" or free ideas that they would like to do?
