1. She's so adorable! And yes such a touching post…I remember how my sister used to make her face when mom scolded her…There was no way any of us could stay mad at her for long, still the same even today 🙂

2. Awww she is a darling… Indeed it would hurt so much to see your loved one cry.

3. Aww this is so true. Remorse often follows right after a bout of yelling. Way to go Shailaja… your will power seems to be getting better everyday.

4. during my childhood I always thought crying is the best weapon to escape from the scoldings dat wud else keep continuing.. never did i thot dat it wud cause agony to my parents!!

5. Yes, there is remorse after yelling, but some kids do know how to manipulate their parents. You gotta watch out for that too! Great post, Shailaja as usual 🙂

6. Superb,Shailaja 🙂 the pic is so cute, and yes, even when we yell at them, it hurts us the most ! I'm just reminded of how I should continue to control the fiery temper with little P 🙂 All for those priceless moments with her 🙂 Hugs 🙂

7. That's great…yeah a lesson well learnt. I guess I need to learn too 😛

8. Nice post..and she is so cute ..

9. I wish I could kiss her. The post is so touching and intriguing. I am so interested to know what's next in the introspection. I already tried thinking in all permutations and combinations 😛

10. Yelling is something I struggle with a lot. Hope I too can curb my habit. Great post.

11. Oh yes! We always regret yelling at our kids! It is tough to not yell and explain them with reason and love, but certainly not impossible.

12. Awww I can relate so much to your words. Great start 🙂

13. Touched by this beautiful description of what you felt. Your adorable daughter is one lucky girl to have such a doting and introspective mom! A great start!

14. Lovely start to the challenge Shailaja :).. Love the pic as well!

15. Beautiful pic, its hard not to yell..even harder to admit you yelled.

16. I deeply admire so much thought going into parenting! If each one of us could be so sensitive, it would bring about such a difference in society at large!

17. I wish the lesson you pick up along the way shape the beautiful child's life 🙂 you are doing just fine mommy.

18. Aww man,,look at that face.How can anyone yell at that face.

19. So happy to read about your yelling-less challenge 🙂 The innocent and adorable angels inspire us to better ourselves, lovely post.

20. This was just awesome! I love your yelling less challenge. A few years ago I realized just how much I yelled and how counter productive it truly is.

    Happy A-Zing – pretty exciting huh?

21. Every word mattered and expressed itself really well 🙂

22. 55 beautiful, loving words. The emotional wounds of anger are so hard to heal. I wish more parents would stop, as you have said, and realized the damage they are infoicting with their harsh words. Every parent should read this post! Great Day #1 post. 🙂

23. Aww. Little Miss G has always been so adorable. I can totally see where your yelling less' articles came from. I'm now more conscious of how I sound and switch to reasoning it out, after having read that article. Thanks, Shailaja for that 101 on parenting. 🙂

24. Aww.. so cute… Beautiful write, there! Looking forward for more. 🙂

25. Oh little wanna hug you….
    Loved it Shailaja..touched my heart..

26. It is the picture combined with the words that etched the scene so vividly. I feel words inflict many things on our loved ones..

27. So cute..we all do it as moms…we cannot help it…with so less time and so many things going on…we need to make justice to everything…their cute faces really makes us move

28. Her face does say it all! Sometimes the pressure of daily life gets to parents – and yelling seems normal. Awareness – that's a key word about a lot of things! 🙂

29. I cannot bear seeing a child's sad face. Even the most serene person is not immune to losing it sometimes. Glad you resolved to make a change!

30. I love your blend of pictures and words. The visuals truly bring more life to mere words.

31. Well lessons in life start at home rt 🙂

32. This post touched me. I hate having to correct my kids, but correct I do. If they push me past the brink and I lose my temper, I always feel bad. I always follow it up with hugs and kisses. ♥

33. Aww.. A wise decision 🙂

34. Lovely…I too remember my heart breaking at times like this. Thank you.

35. It's brilliant Shailaja.

36. I think every mother goes through these emotions. Things get on mother's nerves (handling multiple things)> she yells or scolds her kid> Kid cries> mother feels guilty!!! She is cute, I am just trying to imagine her smiling face 🙂

37. Kids really learn fast, eh? 🙂

38. Yes PB, absolutely

39. Indeed it did. I didn't know how much it hurts!

40. Thanks Tulika 🙂

41. Kind of an eye opener right?

42. True, but Gy has been the innocent one all along. Hope that persists.

43. Yes, Sreeja. Hope I never lapse back into yelling.

44. Always a time to start, Kajal 🙂

45. Thank you Sirisha

46. Did you guess it right? 🙂

47. Inderpreet, try the orange rhino challenge. It works!

48. I think so too, Shilpa. I learnt this lesson very late in life, but I hope to follow through with it, now that I have understood its impact.

49. Thank you so much 🙂

50. So touched by your words, Beloo 🙂 Thank you. I am incredibly lucky to have her in my life.

51. Thank you Aparna 🙂

52. Exactly Ananya 🙂 Thanks for catching that 🙂

53. Most of the time, we don't make the effort. And I find that unless it comes from within, this need to change, it doesn't really stick!

54. I certainly hope so too 🙂

55. When you are stressed, sleep-deprived, just want some quiet, believe me, anything can make you yell. But yes, seeing this picture, I wonder, how could I yell at her!!?

56. Thank you Sulekha 🙂

57. Glad you agree, Elsie! And it is incredibly wonderful, this A-z-ing!

58. Thank you Sushree 🙂

59. Yes, it would be so easy to just step back and realise the magnitude of our words. Thank you Tom 🙂

60. Always welcome, Monica 🙂

61. Thank you very much 🙂

62. Thanks Sitara 😀

63. Indeed they do, Richa. Thanks for being here 🙂

64. The regret of shouting makes us reflect, right?

65. Thank you Fanny!

66. Indeed it is, Corinne. I agree on the 'seems normal' part. That statement by my husband triggered the whole yelling less challenge.

67. Very glad indeed, Vidya. Thank you 🙂

68. Coming from you, that is a HUGE compliment, Prem!

69. More often than we care to acknowledge 🙂 Thanks Mina 🙂

70. Oh I have to correct her 🙂 Who else would do it with love? I just decided that yelling was not helping though and she learnt it too.

71. Yes, I think so too. Thanks Jyotsna.

72. The pain of watching them cry is horrible, right, Erica? Thanks for stopping by.

73. Thank you very much, Sanjivani!

74. Thank you Amrit!
