I have a really bad back at the moment and am in a lot of pain, so I have been more shouty than usual, but I know I shout at the kids to much anyway. I was in mid-shout this afternoon, when I kind of heard myself and thought 'Oh lord, you sound horrible'. So I have decided that as from today I am going to try and avoid yelling at my children, and come up with another way of dealing with problems. Any encourging words or advice would be greatly appreciated!!
