[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up with a yelling dad and sometimes feel myself getting ready to yell when caring for kids. My trick is to sing. A real song or one I make up, like "it's time to put on pants" to the tune of "the farmer in the Dell." This takes my mind off the frustration, keeps me from yelling, and sometimes even gets the kids to listen. Also agree with pep classes..and watch bluey together to see different ways for parents and kids to interact. No you can't always be fun and playful, but if a kid has fun with her dad sometimes it helps balance out the times he really just needs her to do something. Finally, it's ok for a 3 year old who won't get dressed to go out in pajamas with weather appropriate shoes and outerwear. If the choice is that or yelling, I would go with PJs on most occasions.[/quote] Thanks - I will definitely use the Farmer in the Dell tip and share with spouse. Will check out Bluey as well.
