Evaluating Problems
Think of one child in your family. Make a list of all the things this child does that upset you. Go back over the list and rank each problem from most to least offensive. Start at the bottom of the list and for each item ask yourself, Is this something I really need to be upset about? Is this problem worth my investment of emotion and energy? If you answer no to any of these questions, cross the problem off and go to the next higher on your list. Show your list to your friend and explore ways of reducing your emotional involvement in minor problems.

If you are keeping a journal, record your list and the cross-offs.
