I decided one day that I would stop. It was a work in progress but now my kids are 18, 16, and 13 and I rarely raise my voice at them. When I do, I immediately apologize for it, because I think you should lead by example. We wouldn't want our children to speak to anyone else that way so why should we as parents. Best decision I ever made for myself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10922754.post-7322337681674095002011-04-19T03:46:53.072-04:002011-04-19T03:46:53.072-04:00Yelling is my go-to thing.

With 4 girls, the volume in my house has 2 levels, ridiculously loud and all-kids-asleep. They try to talk louder than the one standing next to them to make themselves heard. I once tried to give up yelling. I think I popped a blood vessel in my eye.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16218358169381833775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10922754.post-32950578874622026192011-04-18T17:13:38.861-04:002011-04-18T17:13:38.861-04:00My name is Charity & I am (not) a recovering y...My name is Charity & I am (not) a recovering yeller! I try, but sadly I think my head would explode if I tried to give it up all at once. Good for you!

In other words, it's not so much whether you yell, but rather, that you're trying hard to be a great dad, whatever form that takes. The kids see that, and take from it the notion that they matter. A lot. To the very person that matters most to them. Well done, you.eclectichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827218552901306334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10922754.post-34087630502781277372011-04-18T12:45:08.422-04:002011-04-18T12:45:08.422-04:00It's the same thing here, and for the same rea...It's the same thing here, and for the same reasons, too, I believe.<br /><br />And the League of Their Own reference is spot on.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11763999112189996532noreply@blogger.com
