The Importance of Calming Down

It is crucial for parents to remain calm when their children make bad decisions or do things they disagree with. Reacting with shade, judgment, criticism, or threats can strain relationships and make children feel unloved and hurt. Instead, parents should adopt a calm approach, try to understand their children's perspective, give them space, ask questions, offer help and resources, and provide unconditional love.
