I'm becoming an angry mother and I often find myself yelling at my kids. Can I change?

Ofcourse, you can change. Trust me, I find myself in the same shoes. I yell at my baby in the heat of the moment but then I feel so guilty that go to my child like a kid myself and plead guilty. I say sorry and all and crack something funny to make him laugh, and he even forgives me. But I think to what level I have stooped to yell so much at little kid and then later on acting like a fool. I am working on it. Now, whenever something happens where I know that I can lose my temper, I stop there immediately. For example, if I am making him read something he doesn't listen (and I am seriously putting my energy into making him read) I say, "Okay, let's read later. I don't think you are in the mood to read." This way, I have stopped at the very moment where I know my anger will start building up. What I suggest from my own experience is that kids have immense energy, but we don't, so it's always good that we take a step back. Whenever there is an argument or your kid is not listening, break the thread of that conversation. Either get up or start doing your own thing or pack up all and take the kids to the park, and if the things don't seem to settle down seek intervention from third party, be it your husband.
