we yell too much.


my almost 4 year old has been difficult for most of his 3's - as most kids are - i know i'm not alone or unique in this.he's not a bad kid, he's not trying to be difficult, but he's all ego, and if he doesn't want to do something, it's a fucking fight. he's got impulse control, but only on the things that matter to him. i don't think he has add/adhd, though he is called "busy" often. he needs to be redirected, he needs to calm the fuck down sometimes. but i got a migraine yesterday, my first ever, and he just pushed all the buttons.i am venting... so in short, i yell at him when he's not listening, being difficult, and that's not effective. i feel really bad, really guilty. i've never been a yeller and i know i'm a huge part of the problem. i'm going to turn it around but i'm here so i don't feel so alone, in both my frustration, disappointment and guilt - with him AND myself. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2LVHuZY
