[QUOTE="WhymeMom?, post: 42777, member: 53"] <span style='font-family: Comic Sans MS'>This sounds pretty simplistic, but if you just stop yelling it can make a difference. I was a yeller, but one day decided the only person I had control over was me....the yelling was not effective, so I reacted differently. I calmly looked at a situation and said in a controlled voice Explain what is happening and is there anything I can do to change the outcome?

Now don't get me wrong it didn't change overnight, but at least I felt I was more effective with the calm, controlled voice. People in general will react in kind to how they are spoken to, so it can't hurt...give it a try until you can do it without thinking.... It will at least lower the decibles in your home..... Good luck! And I do believe yelling does become a habit, so make the opposite a habit.</span> [img]:kisses:[/img] [/QUOTE]
