How to be a calm parent

           There are so many parents out there that wonder how they can be calm and patient with their kids. I have wondered how to as well. I honestly don’t know an exact answer to give you other than you just have to be determined to be calm and patient.

            Now being determined to be calm and patient with your kids doesn’t mean you won’t make mistakes and slip and lose patience with your kids. Let’s face it out kids are the best at pushing our buttons. What I have learned is too try my best but when I do lose my patience, take a breath and apologize to your kids. Just as we teach our kids to own up to there mistakes and apologize we should do the same.

          Just as our kids are learning to control themselves and be patient we as parents are learning how to control ourselves when our kids are testing and pushing every button they can manage to push. So, if we just remember to take a step back, breath, and if worse come to worse apologize for losing our cool, we will be able to make our homes calm for our families.
