Stop Yelling At Your Kids

Parenting is hard. If you’re a parent, I’m sure that I don’t need to tell you that our job is a tough one. When you're managing children, it can be difficult to remember that they are still learning. If you find yourself yelling at your kids more often than you want to, here are some ways that can help you reduce the yelling. I’ve been working on this for the past few months and I have to say,it’s been amazing for both the kids and me.

If you are having an argument with your child, you need to make sure you both take the time to really listen. It gives both of you time to think and really listen to each other, which is important. Kids are more likely to listen to you if you listen to them!

One of your biggest struggles is to remind yourself of appropriate expectations. You can’t expect that your youngest acts as responsibly as your oldest. You should lower what you expect -taking into consideration things like their age - it can make a big difference. You should do your best to take a moment before yelling and take in a deep breath. It makes a world of difference for you. Instead of yelling, you’d better whisper. It can also help diffuse any situation by making things quieter, not louder. Besides, the more time you spend with your kids, the better you’ll get at communicating with them. You’re both more likely to understand each other.

If your children aren’t listening or it seems they only don’t listen to you, you don’t take it personally. You should remind yourself that your kids are still learning and they’re not going to be perfect.

Stress Free Home-office

Ah, the carefree life of the work-from-home professional—no coworkers to interrupt you, no boss looming over your shoulder, no clock to punch. You can come and go as you please, dress however you like, and attend your child's soccer games.

A working life without stress. Dream on. Ask anyone who works from home, and they'll tell you a different story—complete with interruptions from family members and neighbors, no tech support, and the difficulties of keeping to a schedule and maintaining any kind of productivity. (9) .

"Many of my clients thought they would be less stressed when they left the corporate workplace, but the enemy is within," says Barbara Reinhold at Smith College. "It's not a function of getting rid of stress. It's a matter of managing stressors. "

(10) . In May, the Harvard School of Public Health released a study that found women in stressful jobs more likely to report poor health than those in relatively undemanding jobs did.

Whether you work at home full-time or once in a while, you'll be happier and get more done if you follow these precepts.

"Feeling out of control—nothing is as stressful as that," Reinhold says. "One of the most important stressors in that regard, research has shown, is a cluttered office. (11) . We're not sure what's under them, and we're not sure we can find something we need. "

2. Get Comfortable

When you are refreshed, you are more productive and less irritable. Too many home professionals ignore this fundamental truth, spending their days working in poor light, seated in an uncomfortable chair at a desk that's too high or too low. (12) . A few inexpensive changes can improve your work.

3. Set Boundaries

One of the advantages of working from home is spending more time with your family. (13) . "Balancing the increasing demands of work with the pressures of managing family and home can be a challenge," acknowledges Harriet Schechter, author of Conquering Chaos at Work. Don't just ignore that your home and office overlap; create some boundaries that allow for synergy between the two. (14) .

A. Stacks and stacks of papers make most of us feel a little subliminally crazy.

B. Stress is serious business.

C. A home office doesn't eliminate work anxieties; it just reshuffles them.

Re: Circulation numbers

All,

I've sent you this clipping from the USA Daily on newspaper circulation to make a point. We have been feeling pressure from above to increase circulation. But this year's numbers are up two percent compared to last year's! That is magnificent when you consider that firstly, our population base here in the Kelbyville area has actually shrunk by four percent in the last year; and secondly, almost none of the major newspapers in the nation are doing as well as we are. So I want to say congratulations to everybody. You are doing terrific, terrific work and I am well aware of it.

Keep it up.

What does the table show？

A．The percent change in circulation from a year earlier.

B．The percentage of market share each newspaper controls.

C．The annual revenue generated by weekday newspaper sales.

D．The total number of newspapers sold over the past 6 months.
