Should I blame myself when my child misbehaves?

Your child shouts at you, lies about something they have done or refuses to take responsibility, and suddenly you find yourself wondering: Where did they learn this?

It gets even more uncomfortable when you realise that some of the behaviour looks familiar. Maybe you also have a short temper. Perhaps you struggle to admit when you are wrong, or you have been known to avoid difficult conversations. And now your child seems to be doing the same.
