[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to yell all the time. It’s how my dad parented. I went to therapy, read some parenting books, realized my job stress was making me yell (when what I really wanted to do was yell at my boss and quit, so I quit and found a better job), and I got my anxiety in check. Now I don’t yell very often, almost never.[/quote] So how do you deal when kids don’t listen?[/quote] Yelling and not listening are a vicious cycle. As you tone down the yelling, they listen more. In the meanwhile: repeating the same thing a couple times (in exactly the same tone and words each time. Telling them to 'stop' something is ineffective; giving a positive direction to do a different thing works better). Naming logical consequences and following through. Allowing natural consequences to occur. PEP is great for this. [/quote]
