How do you keep cool when you have reached your limit?

Hot buttons… We all have them. We all have behaviors that we find particularly irritating. As adults and caregivers it is our job to remain calm, cool, and collected when children are experiences challenging behaviors. What are your hot buttons? How do you keep cool when you have reached your limit? For this first part of the discussion, share your hot buttons and how you keep cool in stressful situations. I have a really challenging time with arguing. When children argue, sometimes I want to immediately jump in and solve their problem for them. In these instances, I take several deep breathes before assisting, or I ask a peer to help.
