Story Angles:

Mom Rage is Not Ok: We don't have control over many things, like we don't have control over the pandemic, politics or the economy. But parents can control how they react at home with their kids. Part I of the book is called "How to Break the Yelling Habit," and Jeanette teaches parents how to stop yelling.

Back-to-School Stress: This school year is especially stressful for some families. Learn practical tools for handling stress in healthy ways, and laugh along the way. Chapter titles include, "Don't Beat Yourself Up," "What To Do When Your Kid Won't Listen," and "When Your Kid lies."

Break the Shame: Many moms feel guilty about yelling at their kids behind closed doors. It keeps them up at night, but they don't tell anyone. Talking about it is the first step. Jeanette says to tell someone, "I'm a yeller, and I want to stop yelling."
