When you lose your patience with your kids, it can be the easiest thing to do to blow up in anger.

I'm John Fuller, and with me is Dr. Danny who leads our parenting team.

And Danny, can you remember any times where you just kind of lost it with your kids?

Wow, lost it.

Well, you're a pretty passionate guy, although you're calm and steady. I don't think I've lost it with your kids? Wow. Well, you're pretty passionate guy, although you're calm and steady.

I don't think I've lost it, but there's a time that I can think of that.

I was very, very frustrated and just had to step away.

I mean, I felt it inside.

And there was a time when Heather ended up getting frustrated at the kids.

They were not listening to her.

They were being silly and then they were going at each other.

It was definitely an off moment for them.

And I could see Heather starting to get upset at me and I was just a bystander in this whole thing.

And I started to get frustrated with the

kids that they weren't listening and responding and seeing the frustration in her. And they were,

it just felt very selfish the way they were handling everything. And I could see it that way. That's

how I was seeing it. And I felt that I was going to say things that were either mean or just I was going to have to say sorry for.

So I stepped away, walked outside and just had to regroup my brain.

And then I came back.

I was glad I didn't say anything.

The kids were still talking with each other.

And I just needed to pause and come back and do it in a way that was going to be helpful
