Hello,
I said something to my 4 year old this morning. He wanted to take another bag to school , we were running late. I said no and hurried him up. He started crying and then outside I said to him in a quiet tone- if the neighbours hear you cry, they will ca someone to take you away
He stopped and sniffled, we got in the car and had a quiet drive to school.
I feel awful now. I know I shouldn't have said that. What can I do, and to regulate myself better? I was in a rush as I was catching a train ( which I ended up missing too).
