Are you the type of person that easily panics? If so, it may be important to learn some techniques to help stay calm and relaxed.\u00a0 You are in control, so you must act calmly and set a good example. If you panic, everyone else will panic and it could make any situation worse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This guide can help you to be a calm parent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Assess and address<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sickness is common with kids of all ages.\u00a0 The best thing you can do when your child is sick is stay calm and breathe. Your child will mimic your breathing becoming calm if you are calm and panicking if you are.\u00a0 In most cases, symptoms are normal and nothing to worry about.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mustelausa.com\/blogs\/mustela-mag\/red-cheeks-toddler\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">toddler has red cheeks<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it\u2019s nothing to panic about. This can happen due to being outside in the cold or some common skin issues. All of which can be sorted and easily managed. To know if it requires a doctor&#8217;s call:\u00a0 check for other symptoms too: fever, rash worsening, cough, etc.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking them to see a doctor will guarantee to get them the help you both need. Reducing fear and anxiety while assessing and addressing the issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t bring outside stress home<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is good to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/birthyoudesire.com\/taking-care-of-yourself-when-you-are-stressed\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">take care of yourself when you are stressed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You might not be stressed due to work, the holidays, or external family matters. If this happens, try to reduce your stress before coming home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many ways to take better care of yourself.\u00a0 If you experience a stressful situation, step away from it (even if it is just a bathroom break) and try some management techniques including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Singing<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meditation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Walking<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Journaling<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting fresh air<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breathing techniques<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Count to 7: Don\u2019t act on impulse<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Acting on impulse can heighten stress and make you speak or act in a way you wish you didn\u2019t.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether your child, partner, or something at home stresses you out, it is best to step away for a few minutes to calm down before reacting. If you cannot step away simply count to seven before responding. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you react fast, without thinking, you could make the situation a lot worse than it needs to be. You can be a lot calmer as a parent if you remember to cool down. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/evergreenpsychotherapycenter.com\/the-power-of-calm\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Calm parenting<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is always going to benefit your relationships and your household.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Become a good listener<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a parent, it is good to know how to listen.\u00a0 Most problems can be solved by listening fully and allowing the other person to vent. Once the venting is over you can work on solving problems together, if needed.\u00a0 This works for both adults and children.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tune in to your body<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the best things you can do is to tune in to your body. It can take seconds or minutes, but it will make a world of difference.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you stop and assess how your mind and body feel, you can identify and understand what emotion it is dealing with. Different emotions require different coping techniques. When you can understand what your mind and body are dealing with, you\u2019ll know how to manage it and return to a calm state. Once you can identify the emotion and trigger then you can address it. For example, if you are angry about an accident at home or in the office, you might be better off stepping outside away from everyone and walking before addressing the issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We hope by using some of these suggestions, you can develop some skills and become a calmer parent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Photo by Sarah Chai Being a parent brings forth many blessings and challenges.
