Some children still have tantrums, even if you are doing all the right things. They tend to be easily irritated and disappointed if things are not just right. Even though you ve brought them up pretty much the same way as their brothers and sisters, they behave very differently. This is probably because their genes have something to do with it. It is hard work to be firm and consistent all the time.
Any parent can be on the verge of losing control at times.
You can tire yourself out being angry one day and give in from exhaustion the next. If you are finding it hard to keep it up, you need to look at why this is so. Some parents are simply under too much stress. They may be looking after two or three children on their own, or may be struggling with work or other problems. You may believe that it is cruel to have firm rules.
