[quote=Anonymous]Just two quick thoughts:

1) It's hard, but try to forgive yourself for your past bursts of temper.  You can't change the past, you're human, you have emotions too, all you can do is try to handle the future as best you can.

2) Try also to remember that your child is constantly in the process of becoming.  We don't get angry (or shouldn't anyway) with babies who cry over every little thing, because we recognize that their minds are still forming and they have many expressive and coping skills to learn.  Much of the job of parenting is not to judge kids for where they are but teach them about where they need to go.  Your child clearly has a lot to learn about how to pursue his desires in honest ways, but that does not mean he is bad -- it means he has a ways to go.  It's your job to help him to understand where he needs to go and to help him get there.

As parents we all struggle with this, but when we are at our most composed we recognize that when children err it doesn't warrant anger so much as just understanding where they are, and what has to be worked on.[/quote]
