[quote=Anonymous]I think it would be smart to have a discussion with her before bed about her behavior in the car. Let her know what she was doing made it very dangerous for you to drive, that you got scared and yelled when you shouldn’t have (because in theory we don’t want to teach children to resolve conflict by yelling). Since you mentioned she became withdrawn the conversation may be a good way for her to let go of any resentment about being yelled at while understanding that when Mom is driving and asks you to do XYZ, you do it without a peep. But I don’t think you were wrong to yell. Stressful situation. My toddler wouldn’t stop going near the pool at a baby shower and I had to yell at him to get him to stop. It wasn’t ideal but he knows how to stay away from something when asked and wasn’t listening. You gotta do what you gotta do to keep everyone safe. [/quote]
