Focus on what you can control – YOURSELF!

Remember, you can always control YOUR RESPONSE to a situation, or to your child.

How? By preparing ahead of time!

1. Prepare YOUR CHILD by explaining what the consequence of his/her behavior will be, and then follow through, and be consistent.

2. Prepare YOURSELF emotionally (it might be hard/tricky/triggering for me) and practically (make a plan of action – when …. will happen, I will do the following).
