Somehow my kids work real hard to make me forget ...
What you should never do when angry
■Never yell.
You’ll fail here. But if your voice starts rising, let it be a warning bell that you’re lurching toward the idiot side of the pool. Take a short time out, even a few moments, to calm down, think things over, process your feelings and put things in perspective.
■Never dole out punishment when you’re angry.
A loss of self-monitoring capacity leads to moronic trigger-happy justice. Wait until you’re calm and clear-headed before considering repercussions. Not letting your kid eat sugar for a month probably won’t teach him any useful lessons, except how stubborn and random you can be.
■Never use violence.
Never. You can deeply damage your child, not to mention your relationship.
■Never destroy your child’s self-esteem.
Their lifelong happiness depends on it.
