[quote=Anonymous]I swear I’m not a troll and Idgaf about the culture wars or anything like that. My preschooler is delightful, brave, and kind. I love them and we have what I think is a pretty secure and gentle but authoritative parenting style. We have rules and boundaries and consequences. But we almost never raise our voices. Like, almost never. And I’ve realized that if I raise my voice at my kiddo at all, they burst into tears. Today it was a push on the stairs in a bad moment. I said “we do not push on the stairs” in I mean, a loud and stern voice. It’s the voice I would use on a dog doing something naughty. It wasn’t out of control angry or anything. I think it was totally appropriate given the importance of not pushing on the stairs. It caused a full meltdown of tears and general despair. Is this just an age phase? Or am I creating a kid who isn’t going to be able to play sports or work in a firehouse or whatever? I don’t need to worry about this, right? [/quote]
