do you ever feel guilty after yelling at your child

I have felt this way as well, and suspect it is because we are good people with feelings. I tell you what comforted the both of later, is that I wait until we have both cooled down then I will sit and explain to my son what he had done wrong. This way kristinad he understood that it was not that I hated him, but simply wanting him to understand what he had done was wrong.

yes i think its a question all parents wonder about its sometimes a natural instint if kids do something dangerous or silly and its just a reaction that we yell sometimes but also dont be so hard on yourself we all have daily problems and stress to cope with and its better to yell sometimes than let the pot boil over i try and count take a deep breath count to 3 and think aboutputting on a strict voice to reply lol it workd sometimes

I do especially with my little granddaughter....I love her to pieces but she has to have some discipline when she is here or she would run right over me. Well she does that to an extent anyway! LOL

yes I do but only after if my child doesn't listen to me. I take off the tv if she isn't listening usually. i am very patient though so i try to look in her eyes and tell her what i want her to do. if she listens, good i give her a hug but if she doesn't listen, i yell at her. i do feel guilty after though. i never hit her though.

Yes yes and yes! It is only yesterday that i did it but you have to justify yourself. Here it is almost starting schooldays after 6 weeks of holidays and i need to prepare the childrens school stuff. You just need to be conscious of your acts because from my experience when I am 'good', the naughty children takes advantage. Dun feel too guilty, they drove you to it. What i will do sometimes is to explain and that I think makes them understand that i am not crazy afterall.

Hi there kristinad! Yes,sometimes I felt it too maybe because we love our children so much that we don't want them to be scolded. But you see,sometimes we have to do it so that we can correct their wrong doings. I always tell my kids that I scold and there are even times I spank them just because what they do is wrong and I do it because I love them,I don't want them to grow with wrong doings. After yelling them,I see to it that they will know why I yelled at them,they should realized what they have done is wrong and should not do it again. See you around!
