What to Do When You Get Triggered

Do you have any of these habits...
Getting testy with slow or cranky cashiers? Complaining or criticizing things or people? Blaming others for making you feel a certain way? Getting aggravated with the person who cut you off in traffic?  

The ability to cope with and respond to our environment with grace and ease is not about knowing the "right" answer, or the "perfect" thing to say.    Taking control of our emotional reactions isn't about having "better-behaved" kids or a "more understanding" partner.

How Do I Get My Kids to Be Kind to One Another?

Have you ever felt as though your kids have no respect for each other? Or, maybe their language and interactions could use an infusion of kindness?

Sometimes, it's easy to look at sibling or peer conflicts and determine what's wrong, judge it, and then, declare for our children what's fair and right (aka - what should happen next).

But, have you ever looked for the source of your unease with their conflicts on the inside instead of on the outside?
