Anger Management
Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Thursday, January 29, 2009
One of the many good things subscribers to Faith and Family Magazine get in each issue is practical support in parenting.
We cover everything from keeping your kids safe online to bringing toddlers to Mass, balancing numerous parental responsibilities, and the importance of spending one-on-one time with your kids.
Right now, senior writer Daria Sockey is working on an article about how moms can better control their tempers, even when life gets stressful and their kids push all the right buttons.
Do you have anger management wisdom to share from a mom’s point of view? Have you struggled with a “yelling problem” and learned to overcome it? If you have a related story or experience to share, we would love to hear from you.
Please email me and I will pass your information along to Daria. She will follow up with any responses she can use. Thanks so much!
