Breathe... walk away,, you have to break the cycle or you will end up raising all your children to do the same thing!
I promise you if you take several deep breaths before you yell it will calm you and you can speak in a normal tone! You get allot more with honey,, remember this!
Hugs to ya from an ex-yeller!

My husband is a yeller and it sure makes the other person feel small. He has gotten better over time and age. But it still comes out. I start yelling when I can't stand the DISCUSSION anymore. Then they get more upset because I started yelling after I've been biting my tongue for hours.

Yelling is generational where I come from. My parents both are yellars. I yelled.. Now I try very hard not to raise my voice but I find when I get short tempered the yellar in me wants to come back out. I try very hard to control myself.
My daughter is now the yellar and my son. I find my daughter yells at my grandaughter and it makes me want to cry. If this does not teach me to quiet myself nothing will. I want nothing more than for this beautiful child to have a different way of life than I had and my daughter and son had. Train yourself to talk, its a hard pattern to break but it can be done. For me its especially hard when someone is yelling at me and I want my own point to be heard.
One day at a time. We are all a work in progress.

yeah, I watch my brother yell at his kids he sounds just like our dad.
What I do when I feel like yelling: I think of my throat as relaxing, a relaxed throat is happy - a lot of yoga and meditation techniques have helped. remember be patient with yourself nobody is perfect

The good news is you are realizing yelling is inappropriate behavior. Bravo to you for breaking the cycle.
Realizing the harm and pain you cause to people who are subjected to your behavior when you yell goes a long way in helping you stop. It will get easier when you realize yelling doesn't get you anywhere.

I've heard duct tape works...haha just teasin'! I have quit to the best of my ability. I'm a coach so having a voice that carries is necessary at times. My grandfather was a yeller, my mother too and well it is generational, but it's not always a bad thing. With my immediate family, I talk lightly, to get my point acrossed, I whisper and then when they say "Huh, huh, huh?" It helps! *hugs* and good luck!

I am getting much better than I used to me. Much more aware of it anyways. A few weeks ago, I hung signs all over the house..NO YELLING!!!
Whats really funny is when I yell, no one listens. Such a waste of time.
I am working on it. At least I am aware and can stop myself when I am doing it.

I find that in instances where I start to want to yell if I just turn and walk away and come back later it works. But then I have no children and most other people have learned not to follow me when I walk away.

when you want to yell,
whisper instead. that gets attention.
yelling gets tuned out. and it's intimidating.

I used to yell...I have learned no one is litening because you are out of control by the time you start to yell.

What I needed to learn and it can be a very very hard thig to do is "DETACH" yourself from the situation.

My best to you.

i used to yell also, i realized that when i asked for something it never got done until i yelled. well i changed all that, at the time, the tv went off, radio off, telephone hung up, when it got done, then you get your priviledges back, no more yelling and screaming, it is so beautiful.

Chrurop, my kids are suffering that same withdrawl right now of having privilages taken away.

i used to not yell...I hated it. Hated the contention in my family of origin. I wanted to avoid it at all cost...which was to myself.

Then not too long ago I started yelling...loudly and even cussing! Because I finally started standing up for myself...and I wanted to be heard. I wanted to be heard...and felt it couldn't happen unless I yelled. And I guess I yelled mostly for my benefit...because maybe I, too would hear it.

When I get yell crazy, out of control, for me there's a boundary being crossed somewhere...or I'm afraid or hurt.

Prayer is the only thing that helps me. I get on my knees until I've cried it out and can figure out why I'm so upset. I used to not do it...because it requires a meekness and vulnerability...and I didn't trust God. Hell, didn't trust anybody...

As far as yelling at kids. I don't do it unless they're about to stab someone or run in front of a car. If they are being bad or disobeying...I do what Chrurop does. It does work beautifully!

It wasn't until recently that I realized just how much I yelled. At everyone, about everything. I have to not only stop yelling, I think I have to try to find the underlying anger that makes me respond this way to everything.
