Great article. This is a subject more parents need to know about–and that even the author of Positive Discipline has had moments of rage. Why else would I cling to the idea the “mistakes are wonderful opportunities to learn,” and Rudolf Dreikurs’ admonition to “have the courage to be imperfect.” We parents need to learn to forgive ourselves and just keep on being the best parents we an be–and accept that this does not, nor should not, mean perfection.
