[QUOTE="DDD, post: 540573, member: 35"] I used a number of methods because I hate screaming. Most often I would tell the children "I am tired and angry. I need to go to my room until I can be nice." Almost always they would be quiet and look at each other. I would head to my room. Sometimes I would yell into the pillow. Sometimes I would just bury my head under the pillow for a few. No matter what method you use think it out in advance and then be consistent. The children will be absorbing your choices. Like K sometimes I just used silly ways like turning on music that we all liked and singing aloud or dancing. Sometimes the children copied my behaviors, sometimes they ignored my behaviors and sometimes they actually laughed and we all got back to a better place. Good luck. Great goal. Hugs DDD [/QUOTE]
