Anger management for parents

We love our children but don't they make us MAD sometimes!

It can be really hard to control our anger, particularly when we are stressed, tired, alone, or all of those things.

I have advice on my website to help parents deal effectively with the challenging behavior of their children and find alternative methods to showing anger and spanking their children.

My approach is practical and sympathetic. No-one is perfect, and many parents admit to smacking or shouting at their children when they are really pushed.

There are suggestions for avoiding conflict in the first place, finding ways to avoid lashing out and workable discipline methods which don't involve shouting and spanking.

Most importantly, never forget that parenting is a tough job, and in any job you are entitled to support and a break once in a while.

If you are not getting this, you are bound to feel at the end of your tether once in a while!
