After learning the 5 Steps to Connect, I feel more grounded and able to cope. I come from a family who "didn't do emotions" so I'd feel triggered when my children had them. I'd want to fix it or rationalize it away.

 

I love having concrete tools to use and knowledge that emotions have a message for us and necessary. Also to know that an "uncooperative" child is one who needs connection and an emotional release. This helps me not take it personally.
