When you make changes the behavior will get worse before it gets better because they are trying to make you go back to the "normal" way so they know what to expect and how to act.
It took Sister Tanner 6 years before she could incorporate these principles to become natural.
When you find periods of time when your children are out of control and contentious, step back and look at how you have been acting. Look at your face, your words, and your energy. You will usually find that you are coming across as anxious and snippy, trying to get your own agenda done. Generally, they are reflecting your behavior. Take mini moments of focused one on one to get through those discouraging times.
