Kids make mistakes.
And oftentimes it’s because they can’t regulate their emotions.
An angry outburst or a moment of weakness should not be met with it’s equal.
I’ve often seen the adult in the situation not be able to regulate emotions and respond in kind by yelling or getting angry.
It never helps anyone in the situation.
Instead, take a moment to center yourself. Take a deep breath, and think about how that child is truly feeling.
Kids make mistakes.
Let’s not compound them with our own.
