Another brain gym exercise from Paul and Gail Dennison's book, Brain Gym is called belly breathing. I use it whenever I'm feeling tense or nervous. Standing up, I rest my hand on my abdomen and thenblow out all the old air in short, soft little puffs (like blowing a cotton ball). Then, I breathe in slowly, with a dep breath, filling up my abdomen like a balloon. I do this for about 4-5 times and always feel more relaxed and calmer. more »

Ron Huxley wrote a two part series on anger management for families. I'm sharing his second article with you today. He talks about the four steps to manage both your anger and that of your child. remember, that when you andyour child are angry, you are not in the thinking part of your brain. Nope. You're in the lizard, limbic part of the brain that is unable to think; it merely reacts.
You need to take some time out to calm down before talking or trying to work out problems. Everyone involved needs to be in the thinking part of their brains. if not, you can't create a win-win situation for all involved. I think you'll likehis ideas on anger management.
