Hi Reader,

I used to think a good mom never yelled. If I snapped, I had failed, and the whole day was "ruined" by one bad moment.

I didn't know that what I did after the yelling mattered more than trying to never yell again.

On Sunday, I wrote about what that looks like in this post. Settle the body first. Then go back and say what happened in a sentence or two: what happened, what was mine, and what I'll try next time. No long speech, and no waiting for our kids to say it's okay.

Coming back is a skill, and skills get easier with practice. We'll practice it together in my free live class, The Reason You Yell at Your Kids, on Wednesday, November 18 at 10am PT.

We'll cover:

↠ Why our bodies react to running late, bickering kids, and missing shoes the same way they'd react to a lion

↠ The 10 seconds before we snap, and the body cues that come first

↠ How to come back: a breathing reset together, live, and what to say after we yell

It's free, it's about an hour, and there's a replay if you get interrupted. Save your spot here.

Yours in the repair,
