Though I've read this quote many times, but I recently unleashed its true meaning. I've written a couple of blogs on yelling earlier, and this is my third one on the hot topic. Parents! Please stop yelling and start understanding kids How to make our home a No Yelling area Even after writing these 2 blogs; I failed several times when it came to applying those strategies in the heat of the moment. The reason was I was so overwhelmed by anger, that those strategies rarely came to my mind. And I was on a yelling train. So I dig deep inside to find "How can positive parenting start with me?" This blog shares no bookish knowledge that I've acquired over 2+ years. Rather, it is filled with my own experiences and learning therefrom, which helped me at the right moment. Yelling at kids i...
