I have totally fallen off of the yelling wagon. I'm just not good at not yelling. I'm not an angry person, but at times I think it's very important to express urgency and danger. That being said, I wanted to share a thought.
No matter how much you discipline, yell at, or spank your kids, if they know you love them, they will not hold a grudge.
I'm not worried about damaging my kids emotionally. When I yell they often ignore me anyway. I tell my kids I love them ten times more than I yell, and I think I'm ok with that ratio. Countless times I have sent my kids to bed while they were in tears... and without fail they always crawl into my bed at night or greet me with a smile in the morning. I know my kids know without a doubt that I love them like crazy and will never stop loving them. I like that. I wouldn't have it any other way.
