Need Resources for DH re: Toddler Discipline

I don't really know where is an appropriate place to post this, but my issue is that DS is very clingy with me (which is kind of expected at his age,) and DH is upset because he doesn't feel that DS loves him because of it.  DH has very set ideas on how to discipline DS because he "grew up with 5 siblings, blah, blah, blah..." 

Anyway, when DS is crying, DH yells at him to stop. He does't hit him, but he yells at him unless he's hurt. I remember reading something about how children don't know how to deal with their feelings since they can't express themselves well verbally yet, and how you shouldn't yell at a crying toddler, but instead be loving and try to help them learn the words for their feelings. When I talk to DH about it, he is not open to my point of view. I've found that the best way to get through to him about things like this is to show him articles or scientific research showing why one way is better than the other. Of course, I can't find the article now!

Does anyone remember seeing something like that? Or if you come across it, can you send me the link? I'll keep looking too, but I think that if DH calmed down a bit, he'd have a much better relationship with DS.
