[QUOTE="dies-l, post: 60431876"] This is something that my wife and I are having to adapt to. I was raised in a home where yelling (and even cussing) was commonplace, but there was no real abuse. I find that when I am stressed, I tend to revert to what I saw growing up (i.e., yelling and cussing). But, I have also noticed that my kids' behavior markedly improves when I try my best to abstain from raising my voice, being nitpicky about behavior, or using excessively stern language in correcting my kids. My wife isn't so much a yeller, but she was raised in an overachieving household, where expectations were (perhaps unreasonably) high and not meeting expectations was a source of stern rebuke. So learning to keep our expectations reasonable and our corrections gentle has been a little bit of a challenge. [/QUOTE]
