Case Study: How Do I Stop Yelling at My Kids?

Case Study: How Do I Stop Yelling at My Kids?

Author: Michelle Kenney, M. Ed January 21, 2025 Duration: 18:29

Does your child's behavior trigger unexpected reactions in you? Join me as I sit down with Taylor, a mom navigating the intense emotions that parenting can invoke.

In this heartfelt episode, Taylor opens up about her struggles with a short temper and impatience, emotions she hardly experiences in other areas of her life. Together, we explore the underlying causes of these reactions, linking them back to her own childhood experiences and unmet needs. We explore practical strategies for self-regulation, understanding our triggers, and the power of sincere, straightforward apologies. I hope this raw and honest conversation helps you foster a more connected and peaceful parenting approach.


In This Episode:

  • Breaking the cycle of impatience and yelling
  • Importance of self-awareness in parenting
  • Apologies: meaningful and untethered responsibility
  • Recognizing and reacting to physical triggers
  • Importance of self-care for effective parenting
  • Practical mindfulness techniques to stay calm

You know the principles of gentle parenting and value attachment, but the day-to-day reality of raising kids can leave those ideals feeling just out of reach. If you’re exhausted by cycles of yelling, shame, and frustration, and you’re searching for a practical, grounded alternative that still provides clear boundaries, you’ve found a thoughtful space to explore. Peace and Parenting: How to Parent without Punishments is hosted by Michelle Kenney, M. Ed, who brings her perspective as a former teacher, counselor, certified parenting coach, and a mom of two teenagers. She also openly shares her own journey as a recovering yeller, making her guidance deeply empathetic and real. In this podcast, Michelle moves beyond theory to discuss the actual application of peaceful parenting. Conversations focus on dismantling the urge to punish and replacing it with connection-based strategies that actually work during tough moments. You’ll hear honest discussions about setting limits with respect, navigating emotional outbursts (both yours and your child’s), and fostering a home environment rooted in cooperation rather than control. Each episode aims to provide actionable insights that help you build a calmer, more respectful family dynamic, one conversation at a time. It’s a resource for anyone ready to parent in a way that feels better, honors the relationship, and genuinely moves away from punitive measures.
