I remember smoking when I was a teen. Mostly it was to get a break at my part time job. To say you wanted five minutes for a smoke was acceptable. To say you wanted five minutes to stand around doing nothing, wasn’t. Even our high school had an indoor smoking area for students. Smoking was everywhere. The olden days.

His boy was having a meltdown. The dad, rather than timing out the child, simply said, “I’ll wait, and when you’ve calmed down, we will talk this through.” With that the dad simply sat beside his son as his son continued to bawl and scream. As the dad sat there, he remained remarkably calm. He knew that just as his son’s emotions could be contagious and cause him to get upset too, so too could his calm influence his son.
