BRIGHT IDEA
When a parent is about to lose control, there are things children can do to calm their parents down. Dr. Phil suggests placing some blue light bulbs in the house that can be used as a cue from child to parent. Whenever your child senses that you are about to lose it, he/she can turn on the light as a signal.
