I have learned that kids will model everything we do and say. If I take time for working out a solution to their problem or my own, they will too. If I yell and huff and puff they will too.
We went skiing today and my oldest had an itch. Walking back to the car she lay on the snow screaming, "Itchy, itchy". Wow, that is what I look like when I am at the end of my rope, or in the "Rabbitt Hole" as our friends at Parenting On Track like to say.
I read somewhere that yelling is the new spanking. I am banning myself from yelling and dedicating myself to wearing my ear muffs whenever I need to escape the screaming! Got it. For more information on this learning moment go tochapter 2 in Parenting On Track.
Good Luck!
