- practice mindfulness (meditate, yoga, deep breathing)
- exercise regularly
- eat healthy
- get social support
- write about your emotions
- if needed seek therapy (AISB has a referral list for therapists in Bucharest)
- above all....take deep breathes and attempt to not react in anger towards your child
