[quote=Anonymous]I take a deep deep breath. I talk really slowly and I whisper, or at least it feels like that, I think it might be balanced out by the yelling instinct and come out more regular. I think "I wanted this child, I really did, I love him, I do, I can do this" before I speak. If I do yell I yell like this "ANTHONY" (deep deep breath, and then in whisper) [i]we do not finger paint the cat . . . . ever . . . . especially not on the living room carpet . . . . [i](I never yell more than that one word) I say things like "I am not happy, we're going to talk about this, but first you're going to take a break, and I'm going to take a break", and then come back later. I also address things early, so they don't build up. [/i][/i][/quote]
