[quote=Anonymous]Probably similar with the same guilt about it. Its hard. I work on being sympathetic to the actual pain while frustrated by the action that caused the pain and inconvenience. I don't yell but am visibly annoyed. If i have patience that day, im very matter of fact about it. "Yup, your foot hurts now. I see what happened, its not great. Let's make your foot feel better and remember to listen and think before acting next time". And then just drop it. Sometimes not talking is more effective than discussing it endlessly. My kid hates uncomfortable silence and knows parents mean business. [/quote]
