[quote=Anonymous]I’ve never yelled at my kid but I have said her name very sharply on occasion when she’s doing something that could get her or someone else hurt. I always feel bad because she’s so upset by it, so we have to talk about it afterwards so I can explain that I raised my voice because I was worried, not mad. I do have a tone — not a raised voice at all but something conveys I am really and truly done — that she is very... receptive to. We had an insanely long day today and she didn’t nap so by bedtime she was working my last nerve and I deployed “the tone” and she stopped whining immediately and listened to everything else I said. It’s almost freaky how well it works. We are so gentle with her I’m almost surprised she understands it, but it’s like she knows she’s at the end of her rope and she’s not going to get another inch. I’ve used it maybe 5 times? She’s three.[/quote]
