I found this very interesting because I actually grew up in two households. One without yelling and one with yelling. My grandmother yelled and it startled me. My very first memory is being scared of her yelling. When I was a little older, I lived with my mom and dad. Because my grandmother yelled so much, my mom made it a point never to yell. She hated growing up with it and worked hard to make it different. If we needed someone across the house, we walked and waited until we were face to face. I can only remember a few times this rule was broken, and when I went to my friends houses I was shocked at how common yelling was. I definitely preferred my own household and I found the yelling to be strange and jarring. Of course I was an only child so maybe that makes it easier not to yell. I still walk to see someone face to face instead of yelling. Like any habit it takes a lot of time and dedication but I think it is worth it, at least it was to me, to create a household I felt safer in. Thank you for writing this, it’s important to recognize how difficult this can be!
