Help, I'm constantly scolding my child!

Who doesn't recognise these situations: the child is dawdling in the morning. It should be out the door and off to school by now. We are annoyed and grumble. Or: We want to do a quick shop in the evening. The tired child stands in front of the sweets at the checkout, demands a Schöggeli and starts whinging. We are annoyed and grumble.

Who is we? We are all of us. Every mum, every dad, every person who at some point doesn't have the patience and time to stay calm when their child challenges them.

But we don't want that at all. And afterwards, neither we nor the child feel any better. It didn't help anyway and our nerves are completely frazzled. But how does parenting work without scolding? Is that even possible?
