No, it doesn’t and here is why
Well, yelling only works for a short of time 😆
When you shout at your children to stop doing something, they will stop out of fear.
Children are motivated by fear!
But it will have a long term negative effect on them.
As children age, they try to escape and break free from that coercive (violent) environment 🙁
They may not enjoy coming home as much, and sometimes they would rather hang out with friends, especially when they become teenagers.
And this is not a good place to be in, because when your teenagers start depending on their friends things may turn into something else. We may not be able to control them then.
But the good news is that we can avoid these now that they are still young.
I know as parents, we want the best for our children, but remember our children are watching us and when we yell at them we are indirectly teaching them that when things don’t go their way they should yell at people too.
Also, when we yell at our kids it is just stopping their behaviour and not teaching them any skills.
Remember, you’re modelling adult behaviour, and that behaviour should never be based on what your child is doing.
Dear parents, we need to stop reacting to everything.
Take a deep breath sometimes. They are just kids and kids do kids stuff.
