HOW TO STOP YELLING AT YOUR KIDS: How to Stop Being an Angry Parent

Parenting is one of the hardest jobs we will ever have and eve the most calmest parents will lose their cool and yell at their kids from time to time. Yelling doesn't make us bad parents. Yelling makes us human. If you're struggling with losing your cool and yelling, please know you're not alone and you're not a lost cause. It's possible to change habits and generational patterns but it takes awareness and daily intention.

All of these comments made me realize we are all in this together! We all yell at our kids and feel horrible about it and now we’re here to help ourselves 🥺

I’m a very calm person overall, but something about my 7 year daughter’s whining and attitude drives me crazy. I also have PMS so I feel like I lose it every month. The guilt afterwards is so bad. I need help😞

[lolizkay]

Really struggling with feeling unheard because I was never heard as a child. It is so hard healing my inner child while also raising a strong willed daughter as a single Mom. I just don't want to damage her :(

Love this video. I came here this morning because I lost it on my toddler this morning because he didn’t want to get dressed, he kept crying he didn’t want to he kept saying no no and of course I was running late which made me later. The look in his eyes when I yelled in his face broke my heart and I feel like such a horrible mother. I apologized and asked him to forgive me and explained why I yelled but the damage was done. His little face is implanted in my brain all morning.

Sometimes my kids tell me that I “need a time out.” I think I’m going to take their advice .

Just coming across your video here in 2022.. Thank you for creating this video. I am a young single mom of 3 and I've really had such a hard time with my anger and not yelling at my children. I am trying to break a longstanding generational curse within my family. My mom always used to yell, curse, belittle and abuse me a lot and I've noticed that - this is something within myself that has definitely come out of me since I myself have become a mom. I don't want to yell at my kids or be cursing at them or any of those things and determined to make a change forward. Thank you so much for this motivation! You inspire me!!

I’m a single mom. Although I don’t have a hubby or anyone to help me take a break I think your tip of the bathroom escape might work for me. I find your tip of find what’s the tigger. I love that journal idea. Thanks!

[michaelnewman]

It’s not just with moms. I’m a single father raising two children alone. I moved for a better job opportunity so my family is 5 hours away and it’s just me and my kids and I feel so bad when I get irritated and get on to my kids. I have never and will never spank them because I was beat as a kid so even just raising my voice at them totally rips my heart into pieces. I know it’s an old video but thank you for going over this. If anything it helped me be more mindful around them when I’ve had a bad day.

Your triggers are exactly the same as mine. I didn't really think of myself as a control freak but what you said really, really resonated with me. I'm so glad I found you on IG, I attended your masterclass on Saturday and signed up with the Sisterhood last night. I'm feeling really encouraged and inspired, thank you!

"giving yourself grace and permission to be imperfect" 🙏

I’m a single mom raising a very very energetic and stubborn son. He is three now and it is extremely hard. And it seems he only listens when i scream.. I seriously try to ask him politely and on a normal voice tone. And automatically, before I know it I yell.. i dont want to i really dont want my son growing up like this and have memories of me yelling and getting angry at him. Today was a hard day and have an extremly mental breakdown because of hit. I hate myself and i feel like i dont deserve him. Because he is really my love of my life. I watch this to motivate me again to change. When i talk normal or politely he just walks over me. I pray to God to change this bad bad thing of me

[nadiaabra]

I’m a teacher and I never yell at my students but at home I yell at my own kids 🙈😂 idk why

[Skys.bombshell.beauties]

Thank you. I have heavy trauma myself and even being self aware I have such a difficult time. I appreciate the time you take to make these videos.

[kathleencasiano]

I believe that my biggest trigger has to be that I want the absolute best for my son. When I see his negative behavior, I get so scared that he's going to end up struggling in this world that I end up getting upset. What I have to remember is that, regardless whether he gets it or not, I'm going to love him unconditionally. I'm really going to try to be more mindfull in those moments and stay calm so I can set an example for him to not react when things don't go according to what you want. Thank you for this video!

[CoastCoast]

Just this intro was a nice way to de-stress! I was dancing along with you!! Solidarity! Parenting is tough

[Kassondra]

My trigger is definitely not having control of things when it comes to my girls, anything that doesn't go according to what I plan. What about discipline for teens? I have to tell them everyday to do chores till I'm blue in the face!

I know this video is a bit old but I want to thank you so much for making it. It is so easy to isolate yourself in a bubble of guilt as a parent who loses their cool, sometimes. For me, it’s shameful and it makes me hate myself so, of course, I never tell anyone, never talk about it, and it just eats at me, pulling me in a downward spiral.
I am on a journey to improve my parent/child communication skills and get rid of the yelling, the impatience and the “no, ” “don’t, ” “stop” words that have plagued my daily routine and just leave me anxious at night, feeling awful and sad for my child who I know deserves better.
It’s so important for parents to be open about their struggles and keep parenting REAL.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for this video. I am in tears with the relief that I am normal and not the monster I’ve been looking at myself as.

[jasminew.]

My triggers are the same. Watching this after loosing it with my toddler because she wouldn’t come inside. 😓 trying to let go of the guilt after yelling. And feeling like I’m going to mess her up. So it definitely is a control issue.

[VitasDream]

Dr. Jasmine. Thank you for your help. I need to watch mom burn out. I am stressed out and feel so alone.

[tawbrey]

This made me feel like I wasn't alone. Thank you. <3
