Alternatives To Yelling

1. Run around the house (big-time endorphins boost).

2. Start talking gibberish. (Kids laugh and stop pummeling each other).

3. Bang arms on chest like a gorilla ( a good release and great entertainment for children).

4. Pull out family photo album. (Takes everyone to a happy, smiley place.)

5. Yell into a closet. (Closets don't have feelings. Neither do cabinets.)

6. Think things could be worse. (Yes, he's on the table, but he isn't swinging from the chandelier. Yet.)

7. Text a friend announcing you're going to lose it. (Hopefully he/she will write back. "Don't!")

8. Start a dance (adrenaline + fun). What's not to love?

9. Grab your hands together and squeeze (a great release!)

10. Whisper. (Don't know why this one works; it just does!)
