You know…I have to fess up that I still have a huge yelling problem. I have been trying to work on this but it has been one of my biggest downfalls and hardest things to change. I get so frustrated and my 5 year old gets more and more argumentative every day and I just find myself yelling at her more then I like to admit.
I know…these are all excuses and the fact of the matter is that I just need to stop. So any suggestions on how to go about this? My guess is that my 5 year old just has my personality, which is rather bossy and argumentative. Now how do I go about changing that in me so I can see the change in her before she gets too old and its too late!

I need to get a handle on this because you can’t be positive when you are yelling!
Thanks for coming by and in advance for any help/suggestions you have!

I do the same thing. It's a trait that I learned from my mother. I just lose my temper and *pow* I turn into the mean mommy. I don't really have any advise other than when you feel it start to come on... stop, take a deep breath, and count to 10. It seems to help me most of the time.
