[QUOTE="buddy, post: 476743, member: 12886"] And I think that is actually a really good sign. Just my impression, not a psychologist of course....smile. I would imagine he is trusting enough of your relationship that he knows that you are actually just mad, a legitimate feeling and that you will still be his mommy when it is over. he not having the fight/flight reaction to it so it is not hurting your parenting. I doubt you are ranting and raving in public like I am imagining this to be. I doubt there are many parents who dont lose it once in a while. It probably would not be as effective if you did it all day everyday. And I suspect that if too frequent, it will become part of his way of dealing with frustration and anger. But as you said, it is about balance, and kids DO need to learn that their actions can have a negative effect on others. He is still young. you are going to find your style that works for now, then adjust it over time as he tests your patience more and more....snicker. [/QUOTE]
