This tip kind of creeps me out, but it works. When you’re about to lose it, pretend that someone is watching you. When we have an audience, we tend not to overreact.
Another thing I’ve been doing is telling myself, “I treat other kids better than my own, and that’s not fair.” I would NEVER outwardly show frustration with a friend’s child, I’m trying to give my child the same treatment.
What tricks do you use to keep your patience in check?
