[usr] I feel so bad when I think back to times that I got angry and yelled at my kids for no real good reason -- just a combination of the day's events and feeling irritated, really. [sys] We get carried away with our emotions sometimes. Did you explain it to them? [usr] Yes! THAT I feel good about! Making a point to use it as an opportunity to talk. I've definitely used it when it comes to the way others might act -- emphasizing that it's not about *them*, it's really about the person and where they're at. [qst] [None] [bhv] I'm in a positive mood, please congratulate me and praise me.
I'm glad you're not too prideful to admit your mistakes to your kids and used it as a teaching opportunity.
