[quote=Anonymous]I’m a teacher so I’m trained to not lose it. Keep what you say brief, simple, and calm. Do not immediately repeat. Do not sidetrack or introduce new issues. Offer two choices. Do not negotiate for this episode. Schedule a time to talk when everyone is calmer. I grew up with a mom who followed us through the house, berating. My dad hit us. I have never lost it with my kids or my students because I was trained how to remain calm and focused on the outcome. You really have to detach. After I posted a photo of a properly loaded dishwasher, my kid did it every time without a reminder. [/quote]
