[quote=Anonymous]I just finished a book from the library (ebook) called How to Stop Losing Your $h*t with Your Kids and it was helpful. It's an easy and funny read too. One of the things the author talks about is noticing. Noticing when you are getting triggered or tense and trying to stop your meltdown before yelling. One of her pieces of advice is when you are about to lose it, literally do anything else. Walk away for two minutes. Sing a song. Squeeze a pillow. And also to give yourself some grace and not beat yourself up about losing it...just learn and aim to do better next time. It sounds like you may have gotten into the habit or default setting of yelling and you want to work on braking that habit. Good luck and I'm sorry things are tough right now.[/quote]
