Do your kids have your PATIENCE temperature spiked? Are you beyond frustrated, feeling like you could scream and struggling to keep your cool? If you can relate...know you’re NOT ALONE! As parents we often have our patience tested by our littles. Whether they are throwing tantrums, begging for us to budge on something or refusing to listen or cooperate - it’s all extremely frustrating. When our patience temperature gets spiked and our emotions heighten, it causes our reactions to boil over. It can be explosive and wild, leaving us with lots of guilt and regret, and still not giving us the desired outcome from our kids. How is it that our kids can manage to get us so emotionally reactive and how can we learn to manage ourselves? To try and avoid the patience fever spike try these 3 things next time your kids have you ready to explode: 1) STOP and BREATHE 2) WALK AWAY and THINK 3) RETURN WHEN YOU’RE CALM and READY It’s okay to walk away and revisit the situation when you’re emotions are intact and you are ready to respond in a positive and effective manner. It will leave you guilt free and also will create positive effective behaviour outcomes! SHARE your high temp stories with us and let us know what’s worked and not worked for you!
