    7 Tips for Getting Your Kids to Behave Better ... Without Nagging

    I need to stop yelling at my little girl so much. The worst part is that the screaming and nagging I do is pretty much always for the same things. Fortunately, I got an email last week that introduced me to parenting expert Amy McCready, founder of Positive Parenting Solutions and author of If I Have to Tell You One More Time…The Revolutionary Program That Gets Your Kids to Listen Without Nagging, Reminding or Yelling. Aha! That sounded like an expert I should consult because she's been through what I've been: the screaming and nagging that get you on a high road to nowhere.
