Well, you should feel guilty. <g> Those feelings will be part of the reason you'll be able to change. The next time you're going to respond to your child, stop for a moment and think about what you want to say and how you want to say it and how you will appear in your child's eyes. Then choose the words that will most benefit your child and will be the least likely to leave you wishing you hadn't said them. It will take time.

Stopping to think will be really helpful.



Apologize if you say something you regret.

I'm saying (Becca):

Elissa

Becca, nothing came through the email that you said. Did you hit send to soon? <g>

Elissa, Unschooling Momma to Emily 15, and Max 9. Proud Momma to Zack, 21.
How is it that little children are so intelligent and men so stupid? It must be education that does it.
