Show himI win ntf 'r'" ' Helping your child -- w help with "" Succeed in school by Lily Eskelsen, president Utah Education Association I was so mad I could have smoked a pickle! It was one, maybe two years ago. The exact offense, I cannot recall. All I remember is the anger. My end of the conversation was completely rational. It went something like, Weve told you and told you and told you...And I suppose if Jons parents let him jump off the roof, youd jump off, too...Dont you ever let me catch you...Of all the idiotic...You never stop to think...How many times have I told you. My intention was to smash every feeble excuse he tried to serve up. I had to make him appreciate the enormity of whatever it was that had so upset me. (It was so awful, I really wish I could remember what it was.) I waited to see remorse and guilt in his face. But what I saw was a clenched jaw, narrow eyes and an uncharacteristic sneer. The boy was simply not le picking up on my apparent I off. We message. squared clenched my jaw,narrowed my eyes and sneered. too-subt- Before I could release another punch, my husband, the man who says hes just no good with kids, sat beside our son and put his arm around him, I just dont understand why you did this. Im disappointed. Jeremy looked up at him with tears in his eyes. I dont know why either. I know it was wrong, and Im sorry. I, the woman who thought she was so good with kids, stood there totally confused, wondering what had happened. When we lose control, our children are given the opportunity to become the injured party. When disciplining a child, stay in control. In as few sentences as possible, state the offense and consequence. Above all, maintain an atmosphere that shows youre concerned and you care. Adult temper tantrums do wonders for venting anger. They do nothing to teach our children to take responsibility for their actions. Upcoming events for Utah mountain bikers Margaret Godfrey What do 19 million Americans like to do on weekends?
