NYC (no yelling club)
How are people getting on with the no yelling then?
I have to admit to a couple of slips, my fault though. Saying that, the fact that I have been trying hard does mean the atmosphere in the house is better, already!
My son breaks up for his summer holidays tomorrow eeek, so this will be a big test lol.

I am sooooo proud of myself!! Apart from this morning when I had a little rant as I was trying to 10 things at once before I had to leave the house and he kept asking me question after question,I have been so patient,listening to him more,getting him involved in everything,even helping with dinner,and he has been a different child!!
MyCats I'm so envious your child is breaking up tomorrow, mine doesn't finish until the end of July. Although I work part time Mr Hellion teaches and is at home during hols and I just love the laid back atmosphere that comes over the house during school holidays.
So glad the No Yelling is working - isn't it kind of annoying when the TV experts are right!
Ever since my son was small we've always done 'Kiss and Make Up' when things have got heated and I always say to him 'I love you even when I'm cross with you' and we actually have a pretty calm relationship - even when things do get heated we patch it up very quickly.
Keep up the good work.

Hello everyone!
Well...i have figured that if i keep as calm as poss...even if i feel like im at boiling point...and speak all sweetness and light it seems to have an effect on my 8 yr old!
Mind you last Friday i did go a little bit beserk at him...after i had slogged my guts out cleaning the house..he was cleaning his teeth in my sparkling clean bvathroom when he came along and rinsed his mouth out all over the taps! i looked in horror and couldnt not but yell!!
I dont think he will make the same mistake again :o)
On the whole im really pleased with my efforts of not yelling, and i agree with you mycats as the home is a much happier place...what it should be and not a war zone!
Holidays are hell mycats! and we must carry on and try really hard not to yell!...ooh i didnt realise i was a poet! hehehe. My boy doent break up till mid july so i still have a few weeks of peace left!

Well, we started the week quite well, but the last 2 days have been a nightmare - my son has decided that he wants to be carried everywhere rather than walk - and if you don't give in...........he lies down...right in the middle of the street/shop etc. So I've lost my temper at least 20 times!
It is sooo hard!!!
He's still not sleeping very well either - but I've kinda given up on that for the time being - hopefully he will just fall into a natural routine when he starts nursery!
MYCATS - the beach, parks and picnics are probably your best bet or you could arrange for play days with friends and swap houses & take turns to make lunch for everyone!
