SKILL #1 COMPOSURE: “Being the person you want other to become.”
Principle # 2: Healthy secure relationships require that we control our own upset. No one can make us angry without our permission
• Whomever you have placed in charge of your feelings, you have placed in control of you.
- Trigger thoughts blind adults to real problems of children
- Refuting trigger thoughts requires you to talk back to the trigger thoughts and perceive the situation differently. You must see beyond the child's behavior and assign a positive intent to the child's actions.
- Instead of saying, "She is deliberately doing this to me," you can choose to refute this by saying, "She is just trying to cope with a lot of frustration and disappointment. It is not about me."
