| Don't worry about it - most people feel this way when they're exhausted, overwhelmed and out of ideas. Kids are challenging. They don't always listen, they fight with each other, they fight with parents, they get into trouble at school and so on. All of this can really stress parents out. You'll hate your kids less when you feel more on top of things - when you have a few strategies that really work. I urge you to read my book "Raise Your Kids without Raising Your Voice" or listen to the MP3's on the same subject, because you'll find 5 simple strategies that will change your house around and help you to start liking your kids again. Here's one tip to get you started: for one week only, refrain from all criticism and complaints, threats and punishments, yelling and reprimanding. You will be amazed at what happens. Even if things look worse for a few days, persevere with this plan. You can keep it up for two weeks even. However, you will soon need more techniques - you can't live like that forever. Good Luck,
Sarah Chana
