What do youdo when you loose your cool especially when your kids get into your nerves?

I remember back when I was a kid, I used to be so "makulit". What my mom would do was to show me how frustrated she was because of my actions. Silent treatment was the best option because as per her, I would eventually feel guilty and stay put. I guess I'm not that hard headed after all. Lol.

I think kids will really test the patience of a saint. My mom ignores me (yes until now) when I get too annoying for her. So I guess just try to act like you're not flustered so the kids will get the message
