To change a habit with my wife and kids, I need to change that habit with everyone. For example, to break a habit of snapping at other people, I need to remove that response from every single aspect of my life. That's quite challenging! If you're a "yeller" then you won't stop yelling at your kids until you manage to stop yelling at everyone. Also, many of us are yelling at people that can't, or don't, defend themselves. To break the cycle of yelling, it helps to drill down to the true source of our anger (often the past or ourselves).
