We don't shout and we don't smack and on the whole our kids are very calm and well behaved, but I think only because they have no role models to be otherwise.My first wife yelled the place down at our kids day in, day out, and my older children were far more difficult when young than once they came to live with myself and then my second wife, the only significant difference being the yelling.It just seems to propagate bad behaviour.
I hardly ever yelled at my children (they are all grown now) but I never ever made a threat I wouldn't carry through, and they all knew that. I would inform thenm in a calm voice what the particular sanction was going to be, and then implement it if necessary.
I'm not saying I never 'lost it', we're all human, but i think if you are yelling a lot, then you need to try and stay calm and instigate a scale of sanctions, which you will then carry through. Boundaries are what instill discipline. Establish them, enforce them. Never ever give in.

I have a Hyperactive boy who's 3 and i am sick of shouting all day long which just gets me more worked up and gives me a sore throat. I can't help it as i am a single parent and although i have seen doctors, paedatricians and a psychologist with him no one seems to want to try to help with his constant hyperactivity, he's like a Duracell bunny and hardly sleep sand does'nt eat! It's harder now on me as i am 6 months pregnant too and i can't rest or sleep more than a few hours each night.
It' s so hard not to shout if your in those circumstances and wound u enough but then my sister shouts at her kids aged 2 and 4 and they are not hyperactive, eat well and go to sleep in t heir own rooms at 8.30pm each night! She's always moaning about them but i wish she'd see how difficult i have it.
