Hey jo- I tell mums at my toddler workshops that yelling is a natural biological reaction to stress!! You should see their jaws drop in shock (and relief)- so often they come because they do feel bad about "losing it". I then talk about how if we find ourselves yelling too often weneed

Yes pinky, I agree that we should look at the circumstances as to why we are yelling at the kids. I say to my hubby (who btw is one of those wonderful men who STILL gets up to the children at night each time, each night, and I agree with Megan...I don't say I am lucky, I just say I have a
