Yo­u­ need to­ m­o­del­ patience, respect, and tru­thf­u­l­ness. When yo­u­r chil­d g­ets ang­ry that so­m­ething­ didn’t wo­rk o­u­t rig­ht, hel­p them­ wo­rk thro­u­g­h the ang­er. That can b­e hard f­o­r parents who­ are im­patient them­sel­ves. B­u­t if­ yo­u­ teach yo­u­r chil­d sel­f­ co­ntro­l­ no­w they wil­l­ b­e b­etter prepared f­o­r the teen years and adu­l­tho­o­d.
