Being a mother, I have to look for ways that would make my children understand me. I have to stress out that what I have been doing and saying is for their own good. But children when they are young are easier to teach. But as they grow older, it's when they try to explore and inch by inch violate my rules. I try hard to be firm, although there are times when I feel like giving up. It's hard to always be cool on things. There are times when you can't help but shout, that was when I was really really out of patience. It isn't cool I know and children don't like it but when real madness get the better of you, you can't help it. But it happens rarely, only when the kids are out of control and you have to rule on top of them.
