"I understand that you are angry; I will not tolerate insults."
"I'm not calm at the moment; I'll be back in 10 minutes and then we'll sort this out."
"This is what happened, these are the consequences, and this is how it can be fixed."
"What plan do you propose to prevent this from happening again?"
Common mistakes and how to correct them
Using shouting to enforce your will only create obedience out of fear, then resistance. This should be followed by a calm voice and clear boundaries.
Preaching: It dilutes the message. Be brief and get to the point.
Threats that aren't followed through undermine credibility. Announce little, keep your promises.
Humiliating or comparative actions destroy the bond. They correct behavior and protect self-esteem.
Inconsistent: Yes today, no tomorrow. Define simple rules and stick to them.
