It is quite impossible to raise a child without yelling as we, as a mother also experience temper sometimes, especially when feeling extremely tired. Please do not feel guilty after yelling and blame yourself as this is part of the parenting. However, make sure that you explain to the child and apologise if necessary to the child aftermath. There are some strategies for your to keep away from yelling. E.g. paste simple notes on places that are noticeable and to remind yourself when you are about to 'explode'.
