The louder your child gets, the quieter you should be. The angrier your child becomes the gentler you should become. The meaner your child is, the kinder you should be.

When kids get loud, stay quiet. When they’re angry, be gentle. When they’re mean, respond with kindness. Your calmness teaches them how to handle big emotions.
