Single Parent Lesson: Take a Time-Out!
Has your kid(s) ever acted up soooo BAD that you just had to put them in a “time-out”? After sitting there for a few minutes (1 minute per year of age according to Nanny Jo Frost from “Supernanny”) they were a lot calmer and had a much better attitude! Well, “time outs” aren’t just for kids, they’re for adults too!
Raising kid(s) is a fulltime job and sometimes can be very challenging, especially when you add a career/job, bills, and other responsibilities to the equation. Things can really add up quickly! Before you know it, YOU’RE in the middle of the floor have a temper tantrum too! And just like your kid, you need to be escorted to your “naughty chair” and given time to decompress too!
So, the next time you feel an episode coming on….get somewhere and sit down! Don’t worry about what needs to be done…just sit and breathe. Remember, when you look at the big picture, things aren’t that serious anyway!
Love ya S.P’s,
