What to do if you lose your rag!

One of the greatest joys of parenting is the fact children know how to push your buttons. Anger is a natural reaction (apparently it is fear turned inward). So the question is how to deal with it.....

1. Take a deep Breath
2. If you are really angry walk away (I used to put myself in timeout in my bedroom).
3. Work out why you got to the stage of anger i.e. if a child wasn't doing what they were asked then punish the child before you get angry or maybe as a child your parents got mad at the same thing.

One of the hardest parts of parenting is being consistent and when we're angry we tend to do or say things we later regret so when you're angry keep your mouth shut and don't use physical force.

Oh and take a B complex the week before your period cause we all know what happens that week!!!
