Are We Making Our Kids Less Grateful?

I recently recorded a VLOG after a tough parenting day.  The response I received was awesome, but after I shared the video, I thought more about what I was feeling and trying to convey.

I can honestly say my kids were much better behaved after I lost it. They were helpful and actually really grateful for the groceries we got. They packed the bags, loaded the car, brought the groceries in and helped unload them too.

What I think was bothering me the most, was that I had to ‘lose it’ for them to listen and be more grateful.

Is ‘losing it’ really necessary in parenting?
