So I read this article recently. If you've ever screeched or screamed at your kids, then go here to read it. It's not by a General Authority, but it certainly made me think twice about the way I parent my children. I especially liked this part:
"As children get older, they find different things to do that will make their parents want to screech in surprise, fright, dread or anger... But the very fact that they expect, when discovered, to be screeched at does not mean that screeching is the best response. They know you disapprove. That's why they concealed it from you until now....More often than not, a calm discussion is the best way to begin."
