  • Calming strategies for better parenting
    By grrrrrrrrargh in Debate Team
    Today I’ve had a horrible morning with my kid... I really want to find sustainable ways to be a calmer more patient parent. I am so ashamed at the things I say and the way I feel and the scariness in my shouting at my daughter when things she does get me really upset. Today was one of those days
