Repair after a difficult moment
You shouted, said something unkind or frightened your child with the force of your anger. The immediate question is how to put that moment right.

Wait until you can speak without restarting the argument. Then name what you did, apologise without blaming your child and make it clear that they do not have to comfort or forgive you on the spot. Return to the original problem later, if it still needs attention.
