Hi there,

I used to be a chronic yeller.

It took me years to become the reasonably calm, peaceful mom I always wanted to be.

I still fall into old ways sometimes, but the "episodes" of yelling are mostly very short-lived now. And instead of devolving into nasty shouting matches, it ends in a quick retreat and some quiet time, followed by apologies and problem solving. 

I don't know where you are in this journey to becoming scream-free, but I want to tell you that if you stick with it, you'll get there. Jennifer, another mom on a similar journey shares her story and tips with us today. I hope you find it as heart-warming, inspiring and helpful as I did!
