how i stopped yelling at my kids

want to stop yelling at your kids? in this post

how i stopped yelling at my kids

i thought i was a patient person… then i had kids

i said i'd never yell at my kids… and then i had kids

i pictured myself as a

motherhood has stretched me and humbled me. it's brought out the best in me and the worst in me

it was a vicious cycle and i felt trapped

my 4-week commitment

as i was praying

it was so

the first day was very

the first few hours on that first day of my 4-week commitment

oh

instead

the change was amazing

within hours

this only continued

all because i'm choosing to love instead of lash out

in and love

now

when i want to lash out

when i want to express my frustration

when that child is getting on my every last nerve

practical ways to love more instead of lashing out

invite your child to sit

i've noticed that when my children are frustrated and acting out

stop

moms

our kids don't need our productivity. they need our presence

taking time to do this — even in the middle of a very busy day — has made a world of difference in our home

pray

go outside & take a walk together

exercise and air do wonders when things are uptight! plus

share three things you're thankful for

as i often say

plus

do something fun

put yourself in your child's shoes

play

when was the last time you played

then just have fun together and give it your all

take mommy time out

making time

what practical ideas would you add to my list to help you to yell less and love more? i'd love to hear
