in others' words

In this heat I think I'll just relax and let someone else do the talking... So here's some wisdom from my favorite parenting expert, Bonnie Harris.

"Remember when your child is out of control, it is BEST to do nothing but stay calm. Don't try to teach a lesson, give an opinion of what to do, or get a punitive attitude so "it won't happen again". Your child's need is to calm down. The best way for that to happen is for you to stay calm and accepting of her turmoil to help her calm. There's plenty of time to talk about it later.
