English term or phrase:  Use “I” messages to state my feelings and needs
This is from a pamphlet used during classes to families
whose children have been taken away because of alcholol or drug addiction. I recently ran across this term - "to use "I" messsages"..) and I want to make very sure that I am translating accurately. Other bullets:
"Help my children STOP and use reducers when they are angry", "Help them choose a safe way to express their anger".
Mis sinceras gracias.
