#3 – BEING A GOOD PARENT

o Use a journal and/or art to express your feelings.

o Forgive someone. Let go of the need to be right and forgive.
3. Control Your Anger When You Experience It

another room, go for a walk, or count to 10. This may give you
time to gain perspective and simply calm down.
o Learn to avoid situations that you know will cause your anger.
