Take a deep breath. We we...I have soooo been there. Take a deep breath. We were really fortunate (feels weird saying this) because there was no where that we had to be. That helps me keep calm when the storm hits. I tell them that I have all day. Have you read Daniel Hughes books? It made all of the difference in the world for us. I used to panic when a child threatened me. Now I'm thankful for the threat, rather than the act and I tell them so. I also find myself saying with total calm, "but if you cut my head off, I can't bake you cookies" and that attitude brings them right back from the brink.Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02796074113452787998noreply@blogger.com
