DISCIPLINING CHILDREN [#17223]

December 9, 2021

QUESTION:

I am a mother of 3 young children. I sometimes lose my patience with them, when I am disciplining or I need to rebuke them, I scream at them. I immediately regret it. How can I be more patient when dealing with them?

ANSWER:

Every morning, awaken a conscious love towards them and show it to them. Think about your love for them, tell them you love them, and do actions of love for them. Whenever you need to discipline, make sure to also say a good word to them, especially words that convey love. Also, when you see a need to discipline, first pause for a few moments before you do or say anything. If you show anger at them, make sure afterwards to give them a hug or kiss, and say to your child: “I love you.”
