[quote=Anonymous]I don't shout much, but I do raise my voice fairly frequently. I view it as a yellow light for me to calm it down. Kind of a sign of impotence. ;) Like, think about a harried mom in the supermarket who sounds exasperated: "Billy, how many times have I told you...?!" You don't want to be that mom, because she's being ineffective. If you do it all the time, it diminishes the potency. I agree with the 1-2-3 magic suggestion. It works pretty well for my kid. And best of all, it keeps parents from talking or escalating too much. In my experience, you don't want to "show fear." Lol. Easier said than done, I realize.[/quote]
