Recognize what you want to see:
Staying calm and feeling confident as a parent.
Use the skill:
After your child does something that makes you angry or frustrated, take time to calm down. Then find something fun to do with your child. This is like a reset button for your relationship.

Purpose:
Arguments and frustrations are parts of parenting. There is no such thing as a perfect child or caregiver. Recovery lets you and your child let go of anger and remember why you like each other. The more fun and relaxing times you have with your child, the less overwhelming the difficult times will feel.
