I am ashamed about how little patience I have with my kids. My eldest is three and the constant defiance and whining drives me insane. I imagined I would be a patient and sympathetic parent but I shout very quickly and sometimes I can be a little rough when dealing with the kids (I never hit them but I sometimes pick them up roughly).
I want to be a better parent. I want to enjoy all this more. I want to stop worrying about the affect my temper has on my DCs.
Is this something therapy can help with? If so what sort of therapy? And where do I find a therapist?
TIA.

Is there any kind of therapy that can help improve my patience with my DCs?
