“Time Out” for Parents
When parents are about to lose their tempers (often an ineffective way to talk to a child) it can help to find a way to take a “time out” by walking into another room or by doing something calming (listening to music, calling a friend, enjoying a snack, etc.) for a few minutes or longer. This simple but often difficult accomplishment can help Mom or Dad communicate with their child more clearly and effectively.
