Behavior Is Not A Person  June 4, 2020
Too often we think that a person who behaves badly is a bad person.  Remember, it's the behavior that's inappropriate or unacceptable, not the person who's doing it.  Try saying, "I don't like it when you throw books around the room.  It makes me feel bad."  Rather than saying, "I don't like you when you throw books around the room.  You make me feel bad."
