Re: yelling
Charla had some great ideas. I'd follow up by suggesting you read the 5 steps sticky.
I don't know the ages of your children, but one thing that helped me was to figure out if there was a particular situation that triggered my yelling. For me, it was getting out the door on time. Then I backed up even further, why were we having so much trouble getting out the door? Because I was starting to get ready with the amount of time I needed, not the kids. So, I started having everyone getting ready 20 minutes earlier. I cannot tell you how much that helped me.
I do still yell. It is much less often. I apologize and we work to fix the issue.
