Have U Ever .... ?

I have a few Qs ...


Have you ever ....


1) Shouted at your kids just because you are in foul mood?


2) Spank your kids because they are being naughty ?


3) Lock your child in a room because they won't listen to you ?


4) Punish them because they broke something ...(ur fav mug maybe?)


Or have your kids ever ....


1) throughly embarrassed you in a public space?


2) Compared u with other people ... (teacher or their friends' parents )


So .. am i a wicked mum ?


I read something like this in the internet ...


"Spanking exposes children to violence. Learning comes through example. Spanking is an aggressive act, showing children their parents acting in an out-of-control manner "


Ya meh ? hmmm ... dunno . So what if the children show temper tantrums right in front of everybody ? and they said this ...


"Remain calm and do not argue with the child. Before you manage the child, you must manage your own behavior. Spanking or yelling at the child will make the tantrum worse.Think before you act. Count to 10 (hmmm .. i think i can only count up to 3 i am still boiling mad..) and then think about the source of the child’s frustration, this child’s characteristic temperamental response to stress (hyperactivity, distractibility, moodiness), and the predictable steps in the escalation of the temper tantrum. "


Goshh .. reminds me of the movie 'Anger Management" ...


So how do other parents handle a temper tantrum kid?


How can I deal with my own anger ?
