[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The best advice I've ever heard about dealing with teen blow-ups, back-talk, tirades, etc: Q.T.I.P. Quit Taking It Personally. It really helps defuse situations when you can maintain your poise and detachment. So try not to take the abuse personally. Just imagine you are an anthropologist observing teens in their natural habitat. Wow, look at him blow. Very interesting. :-) [/quote] +1 I even keep QTips around as reminders.[/quote] I love this! Signed the mom who woke up to yelling and heard it again when DH came home this evening [/quote]
