Hi! Thanks for stopping by. I am currently not running The Orange Rhino® 30-day challenge. This website and our Facebook community are great resources for information.
I know I am late but please can I try
I love, love, love this idea! And your page! A humble suggestion to tuck in the back of your mind, maybe for next time – a closed group page on FB that serves as the forum. Some people (err, me) won’t post on your FB page – really dig deep, share, and reflect – because it’s open. It comes up on the FB stalker feed on the right side of the screen – everyone you are friends with can see what you wrote. I don’t want to share intimate details of my life (and ugly yelling) with real people that I know – I need anonymous Internet strangers for that! Love your work, Orange Rhino. Keep up the great work. 🙂
Great point…check out http://www.theorangerhino/community/community
It is exactly what you might want! Totally private forum!
I am not sure what to expect out of this but I am open to trying! When your 3 year old daughter comes up to you and says “my sad when you yell at me”, that’s when you know you need to stop yelling. It is so easy to do though, so easy to just raise your voice so your kids will stop and listen. There must be another way. There has to be another way. So here I am.
I’ve read some of your blog in the past, and I forgot to keep up (sorry!) The challenge info came up when I googled “my toddler only stops screaming when I start crying” just a little while ago. He’s recently started throwing these terrible ear piercing screaming tantrums and I find myself howling back at him against my better judgment. It took my husband and I a while to realize that reasoning with an irate toddler does not work, neither does ignoring him, putting him in his room, and of course, screaming is lowest on the effective tactic list. We have discovered first hand how the terrible two’s got its name. I already yelled today, and feel terrible, but I’m ready to take the challenge. Thanks so much for posting this, I couldn’t have found if at a better time.
Lets do this
I’m hoping to change my ways and yell less!
I’m ready!
The thing about being a mom with many children (I have ten of them!) is that people assume that I’m two things: 1) super organized, and 2) patient. Well, my house seems to always be a cluttered wreck, so super organized I am most definitely NOT…and I yell at least 5 times a day. And I hate that. I really do. So yes, I’m up for this challenge 🙂
Yell Less and Love More..I am nervous but ready to take the challenge. Thank you, you are an inspiration. 4 kids in my house, so pretty tough not to yell.
Jessica and I yell…my whole moms side yells..please help
I saw you on WGN news this morning and am happy you took that step, otherwise I may have not have found your story, its real and heartfelt and it reminds me other parents are going thru the same thing.Thank you!
My son told me “You yelling at me so much makes me make bad choices!”
Trying this!
Love this page and I accept this challenge, change will be a good thing…at least less yelling(which I hate myself for)….always said I wouldn’t yell….with 3 kids I find its not a daily occurrence ….but it happens too often for my liking!!
Ready for the challenge!
I have 3 boys 14, 11 and 4. The 14 year old is pushing for independence and is not hard to deal with. The 11 year old has an issue of talking back since the age of 7 doesn’t stop at any cost. Nothing affects him, nor encourages him to stop. the 4 year old potty training refuses to poo in the potty and will do it one time during the day but 30 min later in his pants. I have little control over them and nothing i do works so i yell and that gets their attention. Taking things away, grounding nothing stops the middle one. Help i need sanity.

Myself & 2 other ladies started your challenge 1 week ago. Sunday was the beggining of week 2! I already see an improvment. Every day I do not reach the rage stage is a success for me. Our motto is Gloria Estefen’s song”There is always tomorrow, to start over again”!
