It’s easy to lose your patience quickly when there have been several troubling behaviors, when there has been a lot of arguing or questioning of your authority or when you are just plain exhausted. If you are noticing that you have a “short fuse”, try to explore what may be at the root of it and address it if you can. In the meantime, allow yourself time to relax and set limits on others so that you are not feeling as overwhelmed. Some suggestions for doing this include: saying “no” to someone who asks you for a favor, going for a short walk by yourself, asking others for help or giving yourself time out alone or with adult friends.
