Angry Ate Maisie

With deep regrets, I know I am partly the reason why Ate shouts or yells at someone. I was her example. I was shouting at her on many occasions, she must have thought its okay to yell. But now I have changed. I rarely shout, and I told her that if you will not raise your voice at someone you get their positive response.

April 28,2013, Ate was shouting at her father because her favorite song was played on the radio and she thought her father changed the dial. My husband and I would like to correct even this little thing. This little will become humungous if not address to. Aside from that, this will also serve as a guide for Jaden because whatever her Ate is doing she follows.

  http://www.ext.colostate.edu/pubs/consumer/10248.html discusses about Children's Anger and Tantrums by R.J. Fetsch and B. Jacobson¹ (4/07). The article states that parents should learn to calm themselves. However, calming down is very difficult, specially if what comes to mind is that your child is gaining control over you. My instant reaction was raise my voice at ate, my husband also reprimand her. Then she cried. I just let her cry. When it comes to crying, I made it a point never show to my children that their tears crushed my hearts. I want to show them that their tears will not make their bad ways turn into good. They have to make a realization never to do it again. After the emotionally charged minutes, I hugged Ate Maisie. I talked to her and let her see a clear picture of what happened. I told her again that shouting will not get you anywhere, that shouting will only worsen the situation. I hope and pray that if I say it to her repeatedly she will remember. It will also serve as a reminder for me never to shout or raise my voice at Ate Maisie and Jaden.
