[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 43015, member: 3647"] I had a doctor tell me years ago, when difficult child 1 was little, "if your child is yelling, talk softly. The softer you talk the better, Eventually, they will stop yelling because they cannot hear you over their yelling." I had forgotten that until I mad the "rule" of no yelling in the house. And it makes sense. Now, I am not saying we NEVER yell, but if Pixie starts yelling, I tell her "you need to talk nice, Mommy isn't yelling". She calls me on it too. "MOM! You are YELLING!" We've been doing this for a little over a month. I can't tell you the change it's made. It is an effort, because I come from a family of loudmouths. But we have cut down on the yelling and the chaos by at least 80%. Maybe making the rule wasn't what changed it, but it was a step in the right direction. [/QUOTE]
