2. You need parenting classes and parenting books.
3.try to keep calm. If you see yourself getting agitated, go hide out in the bathroom! Calm down there for a few minutes.
Do that even 5 times per afternoon. Better than yelling.
4. For every yelling or criticism, you must match it with a compliment, hug, or kiss to that child immediately.

Best advice. Parenting books or classes can give a lot. Little tips that one wouldn't think of.
And lots of complements.
Amazing but simple advice.

Get some really good books on discipline.
I strongly recommend the book 1-2-3 magic. It's amazing. We even use it for no whining.
I also recommend trying to get yoru hands on a copy of the the Miriam Adahan Handbook: Living with Children, Parents at our Best. In particular, the 'hold my hands, look into my eyes, and tell me exactly what you want" does wonders for kvetchy children.

kiss them & help them put away their coats & backpacks
have a snack ready for them - they are starving
give one child a toy activity or watching little one while the other child gets assigned a job to help in the kitchen - then switch turns ... each getting a star on an activity chart to earn rewards on sunday
make sure to also give yourself some "me" time ... works better for family time when mom is recharged
good luck !!! |
This. When kids are hungry, they are kvetchy, although they cant figure out why they are. Have something filling for them to eat as soon as they get home.
ETA: I see you said you feed them when they get home. Are they happy in school?
