My mantra has become, "Maintain my zen." When I can truly stay zen in my core, I can act and speak with the child from an emotionally intelligent place.
I found the book "The Explosive Child" super helpful. This is good for kids who are truly explosive or not. There's a lot of examples of good dialogue to have with your child when they overreact, have an attitude, and provides a different perspective to look at their behavior. Thus, helping you to stay more calm and collected.
