We find that often we parents can be forgetful-and forget that we have to have a plan for ourselves!!
Acronyms can help them stay on plan through a day. Below in no particular order.
How to COPE:
ConsiderOtherPossibilitiesExist
ConsiderOtherPerspectivesEveryday
Hold onto HOPE:
HonestlyOtherPossibilitiesExist
HonestlyOtherPerspectivesExist
HearingOtherPeoplesExperiences
Want to show LOVE?:
LetOthersVoluntarilyEvolve
LetOurselvesVulnerablyExist
ListenObserveValidateEmpathize
When in doubt, WAIT:
WhyAmITalking/Typing/Texting/Telephoning/Telepathing?
Pause to ADAPT:
AlwaysDoAnotherPositiveTry
Practice being HUMAN:
HonestlyUnderstandingMistakesAreNecessary
Before you go to battle, say HIII! to yourself:
HowImportantIsIt?
Asking WHY:
Won’tHelpYou (ask using What or How instead?)
Here’s a new GIG that will never get old:
GroundedInGratitude
Ready? Set? GO
Gratitide Opportunity (a great way to hit the reset when you are so ready to…go nowhere you want to go and then regret)
