Day 5 - 365 Days Of Gentle Parenting

Why do we lose patience with kids? Well I read this article shared by a friend and found it to be really useful. It really helped me gain perspective on why things go spiraling out of our control when it comes to patience with kids. Read the full article here - https://inspired-motherhood.com/losing-patience/  Meanwhile, I am working on responding (rather than reacting) and did a good job of it when my elder son came home with the rear guard of his bicycle broken. I could see he was already feeling bad and didn't need me to add to his misery. So yes, that was a good job done !  How do you view your losing patience with kids? Do you too feel that you just couldn't help but lose control? Tell me all about it.
