Your kid is playing ball inside the home and created a track of dirt on the floor. You are upset—okay, furious—and sense the rage swelling up inside you.

Within a couple of seconds, the adrenaline kicks in. Your heart pounds harder, and before you realize it, you have escalated into a full-blown emotional outburst.

An angry episode has begun and there is no predicting what you may say or do to your child next.

Being furious isn't the source of the separation you experience in your parent-child relationship. Heck, any parent is entitled to have a terrible day once in a while! The true damage is produced by the impulsive activities induced by your rage.

Let's be real—parenting is not easy. And occasionally, you will accidentally damage your child. However, your violent responses to stress are deep-rooted in how you were taught, and the normative behaviors you experienced from infancy. What was acceptable then becomes acceptable in your adult relationships—and effects the bond you create with your child.

The good news is that you may choose to interrupt the pattern of toxic parenting habits and choose powerful ways that promote the well-being of your kid.

The Effective Rage Management Guide for Parents looks at the roots and triggers of explosive anger in parents to suggest alternative tactics that can help you cope with stressful parenting circumstances.
