"Positive, neutral self-talk is calming and will motivate you to think of solutions."
"When we say we are sorry to our children we are role modeling for them what to do when they mess up and hurt someone's feelings."
"Once I was able to give my children a way to read my moods, they became more respectful of my feelings. In turn, I became more aware of what they needed when they were in their own 'red zones.' When I gave myself permission to talk about my moods with my children we started working as a team."
