No one in my circles speak in a kind voice. Even if someone is not mean, their voice doesn't have this warm, soft voice. I have noticed other people saying all words in such a caring way. The words it's ok or oy vei or come here in such a soft tune. I want to speak to my children like this. How can I learn to have a loving voice?

You can deliberately speak more softly. Take a deep breath before speaking to slow yourself down and to be aware of your tone.

Don't do the saccharine fake sweet voice, though. Everyone can see through that.

I find speaking slower and quieter comes across as soft.

Kol hakavod.
This is one of my top goals for self improvement.
It is a work in progress.
I finally realized that yelling is a power trip even when you rationalize it as a vent. It is bullying.
It's using power over someone to scare or intimidate.
I realized this when I became a morah and yelling wasn't an option.
You are never loud, angry and rough to people who have power over you (eg boss, supervisor).
It's a tough habit to break. I wish I could turn the clock back and rewind all the times I yelled at my spouse and kids.

Practice in the mirror. My husband actually talks really roughly. Totally doesn't realize. We all get intimidated by him including my kids. I have told him to record himself and practice talking more gently. He didn't take it very well Sad
