[QUOTE="Elret, post: 431581, member: 11737"] My difficult child is almost 5, very defiant, hairtrigger temper, everything has to go her way, all the time (when we're in a "bad period") I'm usually pretty good at holding it together, but sometimes , like this morning, I'm not so successful. I really lost it, I think the temper tantrum I threw was worse than hers. I feel sick to my stomach ever since, and keep tearing up about it. How do you guys keep it together?? I have mantras, I have stress-relief tactics, I have breathing excercises, but sometimes I just get mad. And I hate it! I hate being that way, I know it only makes things worse, I know the importance of modelling the right behaviour for her, I know it's largely not her fault she behaves the way she does. But there I go anyway, screaming my face off like a crazy person. :( Any tips for keeping cool? Any advice on recovering if I do fall? (I do apologize to her when I lose my temper, but it stays in my gut like poison for a long time) [/QUOTE]
