Hi Brooke,

I’m looking for help applying the Model to thoughts surrounding my 10 year old daughter. She says things that are mean/hurtful/rude to me, her dad, and her siblings (mostly her 7 year old sister). I understand her words are the neutral circumstance but thinking they are mean/hurtful/rude are thoughts. But even she agrees that she is trying to be mean/hurtful/rude. I want to find a way to respond to this behavior that serves our family best (action) to reduce the strain on our relationships. Please help! Thank you.
