Absolutely. There is a german book called "Erziehen ohne Schimpfen" (Parenting without scolding), which provided me deep insights into the behaviour of my children and my own behaviour in response to it. It is also a stated fact in this book that in "non-western" countries it is normal that a child is raised by the whole (extended) family (grandparents, uncle / aunt, brother sister, friends, etc.) which is a relieve for parents in general. It just does not help to punish or shout at your child in any way, in fact it makes things worse. However, in situations like I described above, it also helps to be more forgiving about your own behaviour, as long as you try your best to prevent these "breakdowns" and most important APOLOGIZE instead of just being ashamed. Nobody stays calm all the time.
