[quote=Anonymous]Do you scream? I ask this without judgement because I have done more yelling than I care to admit at my 4 year old. But I have been working really hard to get MY yelling under control and to use a calm steady voice, and to respond LESS when she is upset. I've noticed a remarkable change in her reactions too. She still gets upset and tantrums sometimes with yelling, but it's much better. Put yes, I think my own yelling directly lead to my own child yelling more than I liked. And then I'd yell at her to stop yelling and you can see how ridiculous this all is. I'd try empathizing. Instead of getting mad at him for yelling when brother knocks his blocks down, say "yes! that is the worst! no one likes blocks being knocked down, how frustrating." and then pause. And maybe re-direct brother.[/quote]
