HS 029: Are You Reacting to or Controlling the Atmosphere in Your Home by Crystal Wagner

Have you ever had one of these days… There are just some days you want to join the fussy crowd. You wake up and are feeling confident about the day. Then you walk past your child's room and say, "Good morning!" The response you receive is less than enthusiastic and you think, maybe she will cheer up before breakfast. She just needs to wake up. Then you sit down to eat. She's not in a bad mood. She's not even upset or angry. She's just rather blah. The other daughter wakes up in a good mood, snuggles with you for awhile, and is pleasant and cheerful through breakfast. But later in the morning when she is supposed to be practicing her piano lesson she begins by BANGING on the keys in frustration. Your first response is to feel despondent—"Great! Another one of THOSE days."—and join the grumpy crowd. Listen or read the rest at http://www.triumphantlearning.com/reacting-or-controlling-the-atmosphere-of-your-home/
