Here's Another Parenting Tip sponsored by Community Concepts and WOXO&

When your kids get you so mad that you want to hit them& .DON' T!!!

Count to 10 slowly& . If you are really mad, count to 20. But don' t hit your kids. You are the adult. Take a deep breath, count to 10 or 20, and tell your kids "daddy is mad right now and I need a minute to think." Keep taking deep breaths and tell your kids what you want them to do. Go to your room, sit down, put your coat on now.

Now congratulate yourself, because you did not hit your kids. Brought to you by Community Concepts and WOXO. Call Community Concepts at 743-7716 for more parenting information.
