 Anyone can use this strategy, but you’ll have to hold on and wait for the wisdom of it to resonate with you. You will have to use it and have the personal experience of it helping you regulate yourself from protest into peace when your kids or your partners kids are acting out.

As Rumi says, There are two lives being lived. Stay in your heart by using a strategy like HeartMath or any of The Kid Code strategies when your kids or your partners kids are acting out and when you achieve the superpower of wanting what they want in the moment and giving consequences from a place of wanting well-being for them, you are a peaceful, positive parent.
