    Mean Words From A Parent.

    I know this may sound simplistic and it is hard to do in the moment of that initial reaction, take a breath and give your self a moment to get past that and then speak. It is harder than it seems and I have had to apologize to my children several times for over reacting, but it can be done...

    Grounding Techniques?

    That is exactly the type of thing that you should be doing. Anything that draws your attention to your actual surroundings and brings you back to the here and now.
