How can I stop my child from yelling?

Yelling mirrors what they experience. Calm starts with you.

What to do, step by step:

1. Lower your own volume first.
   Whisper instead of shouting.
   
2. Teach a “quiet cue.”
   A hand on your heart signals calm voices.
   
3. Practice during calm times.
   Play “quiet voice” games.
   
4. Acknowledge emotion.
   “You’re angry—you can tell me without yelling.”
   
5. Praise gentle tones.
   “I love your calm voice.”
