does somebody lose their patience with their kids sometimes???i do sometimes,but it never come to a point wherein i need to smack them just to let them know they need to listen...talking to them,and listening as well as attending to their needs,makes them more calm...

Hey there, I think every parent has had a time in there lives where they've come short with patience, I know I have, but like you also, not too the point of physical or mental abuse, or smacking them. I truly believe in talking and explaining to a child and yes it does help in keeping them calm...
