Destini Ann suggests a simple but powerful phrase for parents when they lose their cool: "Let me try that again". This allows for a kinder self-correction rather than dwelling on past mistakes.
By allowing yourself the opportunity to redo your reaction, you release the guilt associated with the reaction and model for your kids how to improve in the moment.
The method isn’t just about correcting ourselves but also teaching our kids that everyone makes mistakes and we can always strive to do better right away.
Several parents expressed relief and gratitude for this insight, feeling it helps them break free from guilt and frustration in parenting moments.
