One thing that I know many parents realize is that our kids are incredible “sponges”, they really do look to you as to handle situations.

It follows then teaching/modeling how to calm is so important.

This also however reminds me how it is also the reason why it isn’t bad to “disagree” in front of the kids (Assuming you and your significant other can do so constructively) [1]. It is the idea of showing them how you work through conflict, and resolve it in a meaningful way.

If you don’t show them how the conflicts get resolved, how will they ever learn? More importantly how will they handle their own conflicts in productive way?
