[quote=Anonymous]My oldest about to turn 8yo, and I apologize all the time to him. No one is perfect, and learning to forgive is not an unimportant skill. I like to think that it models appropriate behavior for him when he's dealing with his little brother. Whenever I 'retract' an overreaction, I try to use the approach that I see the staff at his school use when kids are misbehaving - I take responsibility for my bad behavior (and ask him to take responsibility for his) and we talk about how we should have handled things better. I am a pretty mediocre parent, but I feel like this is one area where I've stumbled onto something that works.[/quote]
