[quote=Anonymous]If you respond to it now and then, that’s intermittent reinforcement and will further entrench the behavior. If you want it to stop, you need to ignore it completely (extinguishing), or have an immediate negative consequence. For the husband, I would just repeat that I have asked you not to shout at me, as it makes me tense, over and over. For the kids, I would ignore as much as possible, after really making an effort to teach exactly what you do and don’t want, including talking through various scenarios, like emergencies vs. information about laundry, and then if they keep it up I’d have them sit with paper and pencil for five to ten minutes at the dining room table to write or draw all their concerns to you, because you don’t want to be yelled at about it. They will start to think before yelling if they are inconvenienced by this each time.[/quote]
