Losing my cool is an observable risk, witnessed over and over again. It’s naive and unwise of me to brush it aside.
Losing my cool is closely related to micro-managing
losing my cool by saying harsh words is still more controlled than smashing/breaking. Worst form is physical punishment in a rage.
Freak-out is a stronger alternative to losing-my-cool, and is more versatile
Clearly, after I lose my cool I should not continue coaching boy. I need to disengage and detach before I continue.
Before losing my cool, I sometimes let off steam by smacking his buttock. It is mildly confusing to boy but I think it helps me.
— signs of losing my cool
- voice, yelling
- cursing
- frightened boy (I didn’t say “scared”)
