Neutral

Starting to feel a little hot under the collar? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
NEUTRALIZE your thoughts about what that person did or said and see what happens.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For example….⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Is your kid a liar? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Or….did they not present all the info you requested?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Both are useful thoughts but both will have a time and place.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As parents if we expect to teach emotional maturity we need to model it.

Modeling emotional maturity requires effort and practice. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The ability to neutralize emotionally charged words is a great place to start.
