Kindle Notes & Highlights

Joanna Faber
The point is that we can’t behave right when we don’t feel right. And kids can’t behave right when they don’t feel right.
The next time your kid says something negative and inflammatory, follow these steps: 1. Grit your teeth and resist the urge to immediately contradict him! 2. Think about the emotion he is feeling 3. Name the emotion and put it in a sentence
All feelings can be accepted. Some actions must be limited!
Just accept the feeling. Often a simple acknowledgment of the feeling is enough to defuse a potential meltdown.
