Roadmap for
Staying Calmer as a Parent
HOW THINGS ARE NOW
*You promise yourself you won’t yell, but almost every day you lose your cool
*You feel helpless because you don’t know how to motivate better behavior without yelling
*You’re worried about your relationship with your kids
*You feel guilty and ineffective
HOW YOU WANT THINGS TO BE
*You can be calm and patient, even when your kids aren’t doing what you want (at least most of the time)
*You can motivate better behavior from your kids without ruining your relationship
*You can go to bed at night without worrying about the damage you’re doing
If things are not consistently the way you want them to be…
ask yourself these questions and use these tools for long-term change:
1. Do you know your triggers and how to handle them?
If not, use this tool:
Have a plan for your triggers
2. Do you feel out of control in areas of your life?
3. Do you feel overwhelmed?
4. Do you have tools to stay calm in the moment?
