[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] I yell more than I want to, but it’s probably the least effective way to change behavior. Some other things: - Explain: “When you jump on the sofa, it destroys the padding, and over time the sofa doesn’t look as nice and isn’t as comfortable to sit on. You can’t jump on the sofa.” - Give other options: “No acting like monkeys in the family room. Take it outside or down to the basement.” - Give consequences: “If you jump on the sofa, you lose the privilege to watch TV the rest of the day.”[/quote]
