Summary
Sometimes living with kids can be insane, and we all have those times when we lose our temper. But we do have the ability to choose patience, and it’s up to us to show our kids what it means to be in control of our behavior. Learning how to choose patience can help us find chaos amid the insanity in any situation.
In this short episode, I talk about what we can do mentally and emotionally as fathers to pause, reflect, and create space between reaction and response.
