    Most members of our cohort of parents are constantly battling with their anger. Being a parent is frustrating, and kids push every one of our buttons and drag up all of our baggage, even the stuff we thought we’d handled a long time ago. Adding the close quarters and extra anxiety of our current moment only exacerbates the problem, and we all need a little bit of touching up on our anger management muscles.

    For us, that means:

    Remembering that there are no bad feelings, only bad actions,

    Working to make our actions something we’ve chosen, not just something that happens,

    Accepting that the feeling is normal (even the urge to hurt),

    Taking responsibility for the choices we make about those feelings,

    Making sure we don’t hurt ourselves or anyone else,

    Naming our feelings and working to identify and resolve triggers.
