A mother-of-three who resolved to never lose her temper with her children again has created a clever hairband trick she maintains has totally transformed her relationship with her offspring.

Kelly Holmes, 39, from Austin, Texas, is a mother to a nine-year-old, four-year-old and one-year-old and admits that she struggled to keep her temper in check so began researching the science behind how to form healthy habits.

She used various studies to invent the hairband trick, which involves placing five hair ties around your wrist.
