How do I stay calm when my child is testing my patience?
Pause and breathe before you answer, lower your voice and remember the behaviour is not about you. Take a short break if needed, and repair afterwards with a calm talk.
Try this: 1) Count to five slowly. 2) Say what you need in one sentence. 3) Apologise if you raised your voice.
