I have been down the road of constantly yelling to get my voice heard and exercise my authority as a parent but i realised it doesn't yield much or positive results rather it led to my son being more aggressive, expressing himself less and withdrawing from me. As a parent, I feel terrible afterwards, having headaches and stressed after a yelling episode. To counteract these negative effects, I had to make a U turn to change my approach and parenting style.    So do you find yourself shouting or yelling at the top of your voice just to get your kids to listen to you?  Do you loose your cool and flip out on your kids for every mistake they make that annoys you? Would you like to stop this cycle of yelling, get your kids to listen to you without yelling?

    Every mum needs a bit of quiet to get some work done or simply to relax. One key to achieving this with little toddlers vying for your attention or trying to bring the house down is to give them some sort of distraction or diversion depending on what you want to term it.When kids are busy or preoccupied with an activity or object, then you can take advantage of this window of opportunity to either rest or get some pending work done. I have a number of ideas up my sleeve that I intend to execute to achieve this, one of such is the zip quiet book that was originally designed to develop fine motor skills and sensory awareness in kids ages 1-5 .It doubles as a quiet book for my kids especially my 2 year old daughter.
