Don't react..... Respond!

Responding means retaining rationalism, and a calm Adult manner. 

Reacting means becoming over-emotional and Childish.

The problem with today's society is the obsession with Adults remaining Child-like. We have to grow up, and take responsibility for our actions. I, personally, had to figure that out for myself.

Not enough skills are taught in Schools. It's up to the Parents to teach them.

  • As someone who works in a school, I would have to disagree with the final statement.  We have to teach the children to regulate their emotions (and are specifically trained to do so) because many parents don't do that, or don't have the ability to do that, and we have to fill in the gaps.  And there are far too many children with adverse experiences and lack of support. School staff these days are being trained to help deal with that.
