How can you effectively communicate with someone who is angry or upset?
I think that is why "time out" for a teen on a road to poor behaviour works so well as a neutral step. Just give them a minute, no blame then they can come back in when they have had a breather. Don't try and discuss the incident or rub it. Just give them a choice to come in and work OR be in another room and work.

My first fiction book on Kindle Format.... A fast paced thriller/ novella which is part of a trilogy of books. It takes us to the deep depths of the oceans and biological research as doctors struggle to find ways tao keep people alive from the Covid outbreaks. We see corrupt politicians and animal rights groups causing havoc with their plans as valiant police officers and doctors work their best to save humanity. It’s a proper Apocalypse with walking infected Zombies roaming the Europe and then the world. However, unlike most other Zombie books this one has some Science reality about it as it is written by a Science teacher. All the Science involved has proper links and could happen. It also had some great main characters and if you are looking for an escape over an afternoon then this is your book. #science #zombie #apocalypse #politics #scandal
