    About this ebook

    As we all know, children have a hard time listening when we are shouting at them. Also, most of the time, we are shouting not because we are trying to make them listen, but because we are frustrated, angry and let's admit it – helpless! Shouting never helps the situation. We know that, the kids know that, everyone in the universe knows that. But we still shout. 

    My first book was not just about not shouting, but about trying to understand your child through the different stages of their life. This book is actually a workbook that complements my first book; the chapters complement each other. Everything I've discussed in each of the chapters of my first book, I've explained more in this book, and added little exercises or tips that you can try or follow. The first book, as a standalone, is fine, as is this book, but together, they can help you (hopefully) to be the kind of parent that you want to be.

    We are a team of writers. We are a team of moms.  We are Writer Moms!  We have experienced what it is like to be a mother and to be completely clueless about raising our children. Through mutual support and help, we have risen out of our early mom days and we want to help you now. We love reading and writing self-improvement and self-help books, especially parenting books that will help you become the best version of yourself for your children. Whether you are a new mother, a veteran mother or an expectant mother, our books can help you.  We have positive, practical advice for all the Mommies (and the Daddies) out there. Instead of just telling you what to do, we believe in giving you step-by-step user guides for your everyday problems.  We love cooking and preparing delicious food for our children and our families. We love spending time with our loved ones. We are Mommies who have jobs, businesses and are stay-at-home parents, and we can help you with many of your questions. Most of our books deal with children and parenting, but we also love to write on other topics related to your home and family.  Most importantly, we believe in a happy home, and we would love to help to make your life so much better, as it should be.

      Stop Yelling And Love Me More, Please Mom Workbook - Jennifer N. Smith

      Introduction

      Being a parent is one of the hardest jobs in the world; being a good parent is harder than that. There’s no guidebook that can help you become the parent that you want to be for your child and yes, I am writing that in the Introduction of a parenting guidebook. Because as much as I’ve tried to be helpful in this workbook, you have to do most of the work yourself.

      Prior to this workbook, I have another book with the same title: Stop Yelling and Love Me More, Please Mom! That book of mine was about positive parenting, i.e. how to be a good parent to the child you love so much and to discipline them without having to yell and bark orders to them, and what to do when they don’t listen.

      As we all know, children have a hard time listening when we are shouting at them. Also, most of the time, we are shouting not because we are trying to make them listen, but because we are frustrated, angry and let’s admit it – helpless! Shouting never helps the situation. We know that, the kids know that, everyone in the universe knows that. But we still shout.

      My first book was not just about not shouting, but about trying to understand your child through the different stages of their life. This book is actually a workbook that complements my first book; the chapters complement each other. Everything I’ve discussed in each of the chapters of my first book, I’ve explained more in this book, and added little exercises or tips that you can try or follow. The first book, as a standalone, is fine, as is this book, but together, they can help you (hopefully) to be the kind of parent that you want to be.

      So, good luck!

      Chapter 1: Dealing with a Rough Day

      I

      When you are a mom, it’s a given that your days are going to be hectic. Whether you are a stay-at-home parent or a working one, whether your children go to high-school or pre-school, your mornings – and any time of the day when the kids are at home - are going to be chaotic, and there’s no way to avoid that. To be honest, anything to do with children is unpredictable. They can be in any mood any time of the day, and it is usually the mom’s duty to manage the environment (Yes, manage; not control). You might have absolute control over everything at work, or any other aspect of your life, but when it comes to your children, it is not always going to be possible. You have to expect chaos and confusion with parenting.

      So, first things first.

      You need to make sure your day doesn’t start that day! Weekday mornings can be hectic with or without you having to leave for work as well. What you need to do is to make sure your mornings start the way YOU want them to start, not the way your children do.

      Start your Day your Own Way

      The first mistake that you are making early in the day is to wake up in a house of chaos, where everyone is in a hurry, everyone is frantic, and where everyone wants something for you. Your brain goes into overdrive the moment that it wakes up. From blissful sleep you are flung into action without a moment’s notice. No wonder you become agitated and temperamental, ready to lose your mind over the simplest matters.

      Your mornings should always be your own. The simplest way to make that happen is to wake up half an hour or so earlier than everybody else. This would mean less sleep for you, yes, when you are already probably sleep deprived. But this would also mean that you are getting 30 precious minutes for yourself.

      These 30 minutes doesn’t have to mean something monumental for you. You don’t have to do something very important to mark these minutes. You can just go on lying down in the bed making plans for the rest of the day, or you could read the papers. You can never even leave the bed, but simply grab your phone and scroll though Facebook to see what you friends were up to. Have a cup of coffee in leisure in the silence of your kitchen, or read a few pages of the book you’ve been trying to finish forever. Or, you can start your morning routine a little earlier than normal, take your time getting ready or making breakfast.

      Simply by waking up a little earlier, you are starting the day on your own terms. If you are too busy to make time for yourself throughout the day, this is the perfect way for you to do so. Mothers are usually on their toes all day, and exhausted by bedtime, too tired to make any time for their own lives. If you start the day earlier than the rest of your household, or earlier than your routine demands you – you are gaining some precious minutes for yourself.

      Besides, this way, you are not going to start the day harassed by the clock. If you wake up exactly when you were supposed to, every minute onwards is counted for. Make a mistake in one single step and you are off to a bad start of the day. Wake up earlier and you have time on your hand; you will feel much better about the impending day when you’ve started it your own way. Just a few minutes by yourself at the beginning of the day will put you in a much better mood than if you had woken up to a series of
