It seems a difficult question. As my child is still 5 and I myself face anger issues. And after many a times yelling at her and later on feeling guilty and extremely bad about my behaviour, I thought of a solution. I have told my daughter that whenever mamma losses her temper, you must stop mamma there and then and remind me how bad I later on feel when I yell at you. Secondly, when such a moment arises when I start losing my temper, I get away from that room and conversation, and let my child be. We try to diffuse the situation by either she passing a smile in the middle of everything or me. (this happens rare. ;)) You can check this link for more. https://www.empoweringparents.com/article/calm-parenting-how-to-get-control-when-your-child-is-making-you-angry/
