Is There a Time Apart?

One of our webinars led to a question. When we are tempted to say calm down to a significant other child, are there alternatives to that that we could try? Someone said, would it work to put it on you and say, I need to think for a minute. That's actually where I was going. And I think that works both with children and with other adults in our lives because you're not saying you're out of control, dude, chill out.
