parental break

I am still working on this drawing I am trying to do in Illustrator, but it's a headache. I was happy with this parental thingy break. My own kids were tantrum throwers too, but I was really good at tantrum control. They even remember to this day how I went about it. I always kept calm, keeping calm is crucial. And I simply told them over and over again, that if I were to give in, that I would be a very bad mother. Because they would learn that throwing tantrums is rewarding. I have very smart kids, and they soon noticed that the tantrums didn't get them anywhere. And they moved on to behaviour that proved to be rewarding. Not hard at all!
