Cooling Off
Over the next week begin strengthening your ability to react to emotionally charged encounters with your child with the STOP! step. When your heart starts to beat fast and you feel the heat rising to your face, shout to yourself, STOP! then take a full deep breath, followed by a slow exhalation. Get into the practice of giving yourself some emotional space to help you think about how you might respond.

If you are keeping a journal, describe the difficulties you have to face in finding this moment of peace in difficult circumstances. Is pulling back a little contributing to your self-confidence?
