WHEN KIDS PUSH OUR BUTTONS
I really appreciated the "Daily Groove" words of wisdom.
There are lots of practical suggestions from at EnjoyParenting.com like these:
"When your child pushes your buttons, s/he's doing you a favor: revealing that you've given your power away to the triggering behavior or conditions."

I like his positive asset orientation in observing children's potentially annoying behaviors.
- "They need to know what's there — to map the emotional terrain and keep the map up to date."
- "It's an efficient way to get their parents' heightened attention and feel more powerful."

I like his reminder to parents to pull the plug on our emotions in responding.
He says to "de-activate your buttons — consciously choosing to stay Connected and Present, regardless of conditions and behavior — you reclaim your Authentic Power! You cease to be someone who can be controlled like a mindless machine."
