How to stop yelling at your kids

"I came from a home where my parents yelled and labeled me and my siblings as ‘bad’. Now, when I get overwhelmed, I find myself yelling at my kids too, and I fear they'll remember me like I remember my parents. How can I stop myself from yelling?"

In this video we dig into a common concern among parents who grew up in homes where yelling was the norm and offer practical strategies to break the cycle of yelling.  

By acknowledging how we were raised and understanding the triggers that set us off, we can begin to move beyond our default emotional reactions and better show up as the calm and supportive parents that we want to be.  

We offer strategies for managing outbursts in the heat of the moment, but also touch on what we can do proactively to make it so those outbursts happen less and less. 

Let’s break free from the cycle of generational yelling!

From our parenting toolkit:

Since we started raising kids, we've found ourselves collecting books more than actually reading them. Still, certain books just grab your attention, and you can't resist picking them up. 

The Pivot Year by Brianna Wiest came highly recommended by several local parents, and we were immediately invested in its powerful messages!

It's easy to digest with just a paragraph to a page of reading per day. Come on, doesn’t that sound like something you can handle?

Here’s a quote from Day 9 to give you a little taste:

“Like the changing of a season, everything shifts slowly until all of a sudden, you are standing firmly in the after, in all you feared would never come. You’re through it, but you’re different, because something also moved through you and cleared out what you didn’t even realize was standing in the way.”

If you’re looking to become the person you truly want to be, this book offers 365 daily meditations to help you build the courage to begin and complete the journey.
