Stepping into the vulnerable realm of parenthood, I’m going to talk about a topic that many of us moms wrestle with: “Mom Yelling”.
“Mom yelling” is something we hesitate to discuss openly, fearing judgment. But deep down, we know it’s something most mothers experience. I’ve had my fair share of moments where I raised my voice out of frustration, exhaustion, or simply feeling overwhelmed.
We believe in talking about these struggles openly and more importantly while finding real ways to break the yelling cycle and that create a calmer, happier family environment.
A Real Story: Rashmi’s Journey with Mom Yelling
Just last month, Rashmi, a working mother of two boys aged 6 and 10, from Bangalore, reached out for help. She joined a 1:1 counselling session with me, Reena Chopra, founder of Saar Holistic Wellness.
She was visibly upset, worried, and carrying the heavy guilt that she loses her calm easily when her children fight, don’t listen, or ignore her requests.
She said, “I love my boys, but I find myself yelling more than I’d like. I feel terrible afterward. I don’t want to be this kind of mom.”
Rashmi’s story is one I hear often especially from working moms who are juggling so many responsibilities that they feel emotionally drained.
Why Moms Yell: Understanding the Real Reasons
Motherhood today looks very different than it did years ago. Moms aren’t just homemakers anymore. Many women now juggle full time careers, household responsibilities, and parenting all at once.
With so much on their plates, it’s completely natural for any human to feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or even angry at times. And sometimes, that pressure builds up and spills out as yelling especially at the people we care about the most, like our children.
But yelling doesn’t actually solve anything, does it?
The good news is there is a way to break this cycle. Whether it’s through seeking help from a parenting therapist online or connecting with a certified coach for working moms, there are real solutions that can help you feel calmer, more in control, and happier at home.
If you’ve found yourself yelling, please know you’re not alone. Here are some common reasons:
Stress and Exhaustion
Most working moms today juggle office work, house chores, and active parenting. When you’re sleep-deprived or mentally exhausted, even a small trigger like siblings fighting can feel like too much.
That outburst isn’t just about the fight it’s your body saying, “I need rest.” This is why mental health support for mothers is critical.
Unrealistic Expectations
We often expect children to behave like adults to listen, obey, and not make mistakes. But children are learning. When our expectations don’t match their abilities, frustration builds and sometimes comes out as shouting.
Controlling shouting begins with adjusting expectations and showing ourselves and our kids more compassion.
Lack of Emotional Support
Moms need support too. When there’s no one to share your feelings with, your emotions build up. Eventually, they explode often on the people you love most. Having someone who truly listens like a coach for working moms makes a huge difference.
Past Emotional Baggage
Many moms were raised in households where yelling was normal. Without realizing it, we repeat those patterns. But the good news is: with awareness, you can heal and do better for your own children.
The Impact of Yelling on Children
While we may think it’s harmless, yelling affects our children deeply:
- It lowers their self-esteem.
- Creates fear and anxiety.
- Damages the bond between mother and child.
- Teaches them that shouting is an acceptable way to express emotions.
This is why learning to control anger and yelling is so important not just for moms, but for the long term emotional health of the entire family.
How Rashmi Transformed Her Parenting Style?
In our online parenting counselling sessions, I worked closely with Rashmi to understand her daily challenges. Together, we used proven emotional wellness techniques that I personally teach through our counselling sessions.
Take a Pause
I taught her a simple technique: when anger rises, step away. Breathe. Sip water. Take a short break. It helps reset the nervous system before reacting.
Identify Triggers
She listed her common triggers like screen time arguments and messy rooms and we practiced mindful responses instead of automatic shouting.
Prioritize Self-Care
We created a daily self care routine for Rashmi, including short morning meditations, weekend walks, and small hobbies she enjoyed. A calm mom yells less.
Emotional Support Through Counselling
Most importantly, Rashmi finally had someone to talk to a safe, non-judgmental space. And that alone made her feel lighter and stronger.
Today, Rashmi says she’s more patient, less reactive, and more connected with her children than ever before.
