"If your child yells at you in front of someone else, you may feel outraged and embarrassed. Even so, try to see the incident from your child's perspective and discover what compelled him to act this way ('You must have been pretty angry to speak to me that way'). If you can do this, you can put an unpleasant incident behind you and in the process gain insight into your child. [One of the best ways that you can help a child who has transgressed is to ask them to fully explain why they chose to do that for your benefit, but more importantly for their own benefit, why that way was unacceptable - often by asking if they would want to live in a world where that was done to them and-or everyone behaved that way, and then explore ways they could have more acceptably met those needs. In this way you help them to gain insight into their own needs, the ability to express those needs, and ways to better handle those needs in socially acceptable ways in the future.] "
