Remain Unflappable

Contrary to some popular teaching, being a cool parent does not mean being so permissive that you let your kids do whatever they want.  What every kid wants are parents who can keep their cool, even when things get hot.  Especially when things get hot.  Kids want parents who are far less anxious and far more levelheaded than they are. 

Your kids want you to remain unflappable, even when they flip out.
