What great timing for me to stumble upon this post. I saw it out of the corner of my eye in a blogher advertisement on Angie Smith&#39;s blog. So GLAD I did. I&#39;m going to teach my daughter how to call me out!! Can&#39;t wait to put this into practice and nip yelling in the bud.

Never ever thought I&#39;d yell at a 5 year old, but found myself losing control as the newness of morning routines with a cranky family set in. It took TIME, but I learned to give a 5 second time out to myself when I wanted to scream. It worked, slowly, but surely.<br /><br />Of course now, sometimes I&#39;m in that time out and I still want to scream. Haven&#39;t figured THAT one out yet, lol, but I&#39;m confident I will.ginabadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03088452361963571004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11570547.post-10142825183642461212009-06-12T10:35:34.268-05:002009-06-12T10:35:34.268-05:00From one recovered yeller to another....

I was just talking to my co-worker about this exact thing. How I am struggling to get a grip on my childs behaviour and how ridiculous I sound Yelling at her to behave. I began re-reading my &quot;Parenting with Love and Logic&quot; book as I have apparently forgotten all my logic lately. Thanks again for reinforcing what God has been &quot;Yelling&quot; at my about.lanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11278515816812016067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11570547.post-82017877212187071832009-06-11T09:58:12.181-05:002009-06-11T09:58:12.181-05:00i&#39;m reading this post and wondering... &quot;do i have a yelling problem?&quot; then i look up and see my 3 year old dumping crayons all over the couch and floor. i yelled at him. uhhh, yeah. i have a yelling problem. thanks for the post.gourmetmommahttp://gourmetmomma.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11570547.post-12098767625837034062009-06-11T09:50:02.271-05:002009-06-11T09:50:02.271-05:00Yeah, I can yell too.

I&#39;ll never be as close to her as I would like be because conversing is a strain when I never know what is going to tip her one way or the other.The Random Musehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06967336748677115767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11570547.post-47805452898947587832009-06-10T22:06:50.834-05:002009-06-10T22:06:50.834-05:00I had no idea that I was a yeller until Joshua was 2 and I was dealing with both him and newborn Clare. Intellectually, I know that it&#39;s wrong and that I&#39;m setting up Joshua to marry some screaming shrew who yells at my grandchildren, but knowing intellectually hasn&#39;t helped much.<br /><br />Then I heard him yelling at his sister. So we have a deal. Neither of us yell. There aren&#39;t any real consequences except that he gets the joy of seeing Mama clap her hand over her mouth when she raises her voice. But I think it&#39;s helped that I voiced my commitment to him and gave him permission to hold me accountable.<br /><br />I just hope I haven&#39;t done too much damage already.Mary Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06620639746694576459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11570547.post-90238331531957584072009-06-10T22:04:36.756-05:002009-06-10T22:04:36.756-05:00Good reminder for me!

Later on in the morning a similar situation happened, I asked her what was the matter and as the tears flowed she told me (it really would&#39;ve been a trivial reason to anyone else so had i gone the yelling route i can hear my mother&#39;s voice already...&quot;now that&#39;s silly, and no reason to cry.&quot; <br />After Bm was done, and wasn&#39;t gulping air between sentences, I asked her if this could&#39;ve been a &quot;nothin&quot; moment, she smirked...<br />I followed up with &quot;did this work out better?&quot; she smiled and fell into my hug<br /><br />yup...that was a patter-on-the-backer if I do say so myself :)Babshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12394899918879687278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11570547.post-4648415770108353722009-06-10T16:30:13.117-05:002009-06-10T16:30:13.117-05:00WHAT?!<br /><br />Yeah, I know. You&#39;re right...I am.<br /><br />Question...what about cats? I&#39;m assuming that yelling, &quot;NO!&quot; at the cats as they claw through the furniture would be a &quot;no, no&quot; since our child will learn to yell by watching us.
