[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is said is important too.  For me, yelling is about volume.  If you are just raising your voice but not saying mean and derogatory things, it is different.  If you are lowering your voice butt saying mean and derogatory things, then that is harmful.  [/quote]

You sound like a yeller.[/quote]

I think there is some point to this.  If you yell "I told you to do xyz"!  That's not the same as one hour of yelling at a kid for a simple "kid" thing.

If I calmly say "You are stupid."  That's pretty damaging.[/quote]

But why do you need to raise your voice for that? Because you want them to know how angry you are? How is that helpful? Also maybe an adult can see the distinction but a child is much less likely to.[/quote]

So they actually put on their shoes, which they didn't do the first five times you said it at normal volume? Because you are late and that means nothing to them? Because they are talking over you instead of listening? I'm one of the PPs who grew up in a yelling household and don't want that for my kids, but I think occasional yelling is normal. You don't want your kids to think other adults, like teachers or coaches, will tolerate them doing things on their own timetable or talking over them and not get mad. [/quote]
