Nearly all the mom (including me) that I work with have said this at some point..." I want to yell at my kids less".
This is totally possible.
The key is not changing our kids into perfect humans but by exploring what our triggers are to yell. We have created default neural pathways in our brain that create an automatic response.
Example: shoes all over floor causes frustration and we yell.
And then, to make things worse..we judge ourselves for yelling.
When we feel inadequate and ashamed, the cycle continues!
So, step one is to give yourself some grace...because beating ourselves up only makes things worse. I've practiced thinking " I'm doing the best I can" and do you know what? I show up with more patience and acceptance. There are other steps to re-wire our default thinking and with practice we can have a whole new response to the same circumstance.
SUCH great news.
