Our little boy has been with us for five months, and when his having his moments of pitching fits or having a tatrum, my nerves explode I find it hard to know how to discipline him w/out yelling at him or giving him timeouts. I find myself creating a yelling pattern for any little thing he does wrong, and it frightens me, because that is not how I invision myself as a Mom.
I am an intellegent educated individual who knows when to get help and where. But sometimes when I'm in the moment of trying to discipline my little boy's behaviors I forget everything I've read on how to do it or how to deal with the issue.

I am basically posting this message for consolment than anything else, and what ever else comes out of it.
