Constantly being exposed to problematic behaviors is frustrating! Don't forget to take a time out for yourself. If the moment is too much, walk away until you are calm enough to try again. Try wearing ear plugs to decrease noise or protective pads if your child kicks/hits. Schedule in weekly, daily, and/or hourly breaks for yourself. You are worth it!

Awesome point, Thanks!!
Also, don't forget: Autism
Also, don't forget: Autism in GenX and the Baby Boomer generation was apparently horridly underdiagnosed- that frustration you feel may be exactly the same frustration your child is feeling- and two people melting down at the same time doesn't help.
