I don't understand it. You can talk softly to your children and give them a command or ask them something very politely and oftentimes some kids will do it. Not my kids. And I don't think that I'm alone. Do you yell at your kids and does it work, or vice versa? If you don't yell at your kids and it works? Comment. Come on, tell me about it. I'd love to hear it. And I'm not a bad parent

You're. Hi. Good morning. So when it comes to yelling at children, it's not something I do. If I slip up here and there, that's definitely I'll admit to that. But I made a conscious effort to not do that. I have two children that are 16 years apart, so I oftentimes feel like a grandmother because I feel like I'm getting it right, if you will. With the second one, that I it was trial and error with the first one

I pray and I pray and I try to pull back from the yelling and ask politely would you do this or would you do that? And when I do that, she'll sit there for the next hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, and won't do it until I yell. For instance, let me give you an example. The kitchen. I asked her to clean the kitchen because she messed the kitchen up and she had dishes in her room

And then for some parents, they really got to get down with it, or the kid is just out of control. In my case, my daughter is out of control sometimes, so I don't want to put my hands on her. So sometimes I think if I yell, it's the least of the two evils, if you understand what I mean. But I'm learning

And so, having said that, we have to remember that we can't take everything and do everything the same way. I have three children. I have two that are, like, a year and a half apart, a year apart, and then I have one that is ten years younger than the other two. And so by the time I got to my youngest child, I was too tired to be whooping, right? I was too tired to be whooping

And I take the phone and she's like, okay, whatever, take the phone. So there is really no punishment for her other than when she wants to eat something outside of the house. I can say no. Other than that, there's really no punishment for her. It's a matter of prayer, I guess. And I've been praying on it, and I've been working on it. And I try not to yell, but each child, like you said, is different

And you are welcome. Just something else that I was thinking about when I got your when I read listened to your response, to your reply to me, I had to realize, I'm not going to say this was easy. This was probably one of the hardest things I ever had to do, but I had to really take a good look at myself because my youngest daughter is very much like me
