You don’t need to yell if you don’t give empty threats. This is where parents fail the most, in my opinion. ‘If you don’t do this, then we’re leaving’ or whatever but they say it 10 times. Consequence, follow through and your kids will start to get it.

Step out of the room for a minute, take some deep breaths, even just closing my eyes for a moment. Whatever it takes. Yelling is not an effective parenting strategy and it can have long term negative impacts on your relationship with your kids.
Both of my parents were big yellers and it led to me really losing respect for them. Because it made me realize at a young age that they had no idea what they were doing. They didn't have control over their emotions, they didn't know how to communicate with us. They didn't know how to set a good example, how to be the adult. A kid can lose their temper and yell and you let it go because they are a child. But an adult needs to do better. That's what I always remind myself -- I am the adult. I can do better.
