What Can We Do? (continued)

Observe and Reflect Emotions and Responses

Observe how the child or family’s difficult behaviors affect your emotions and responses.

Ask yourself:

  • How is this making me feel?
  • Can I recognize and stop my own negative judgments?
  • Do I need to calm myself before I can respond?
  • How can I be authentic in this moment to help the situation?
