When You Don't Like Your Child

It's a hard thing to admit that you currently don't like your child. There can be a huge amount of shame associated with it, and strong feelings that you "shouldn't" feel that way. After all, you're their mum or dad - you're the one person in the world who "should" love & like them the most! Adding shame or self-judgement on top of your feelings of frustration and annoyance only makes things worse, as you'll probably berate yourself for feeling that way, and your responses to your child becomes increasingly disconnected & harsh. So what can you do to help?
