There are four main ideas that we want to teach children. . . . The first is that feelings are important signals. . . . The second guideline is to separate feelings from the behaviors. . . . The third guideline we tell children is that you can't think until you're calm. . . . The fourth guideline that we use is the golden rule. We say to children, "Treat others the way you want to be treated."
