When situations arise, good or bad, we hold power. On one hand we can react; on the other hand we can respond.
You are checking out at the grocery store and the clerk is being rude. You can react or respond.
You have told your toddler multiple times to stop throwing a toy, yet the toy sails across the room again. You can react or respond.
Your husband continually shows up late from work. You can react or respond.
Your coworker ate your lunch from the breakroom. You can react or respond.
Your teen hasn't taken out the trash even though you've told him several times. You can react or respond.

Reacting is using our emotions. We let anger, frustration, and hurt dictate what we do and say in the situation.
Responding is using our reasoning. Responding is more thought out, carefully choosing our words and navigating the situation with care.
