6. As parents, you sometimes do not know what to do,
felt overwhelmed, acted without thinking and
regretted your actions.
Parents often react out of fear or a sense of
powerlessness; these are the feelings that can lead to
violence.
The main way we learn how to parent is from how we
were parented ourselves. This influences how we
parent but it does not have to determine it.
Our parenting behavior is learned -- therefor, we can
learn new ways of responding. We are all in this
together, we are all learning together.

● Remember your long - term goals
Think before you act. Transform the challenging
situation into a constructive learning event for
both the teacher or parent and the learner. Most
actions that adults oftentimes label as
“misbehaviors” are but natural parts of
children’s development and should not be seen
as threat to adult’s authority. It is therefore,
helpful to think ahead, anticipate problems that
may arise and plan a response.
