[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We yell most days. Personally I think the conflict adverse houses and kids are a lot more anxious.[/quote]

I’m not conflict averse, at all. I have conflict with my kid all day long. But she is probably anxious (just based on genetics and what I have observed so far) and if I even use my “stern” voice, it usually results in tears. So there may be something to that. But I really don’t think me yelling more would help anything. Actually she’s really compliant, by and large, and I have few reasons to yell.

And actually, my anxious spouse came from a big yelling house. I’m not that anxious, and came from a rare yelling house. Guess where we spend the holidays?[/quote]

+1 to this. My wife got yelled at as a kid and is very anxious. My mom grew up in a household with a LOT of yelling and is a nervous wreck, but I didn't and I'm not anxious at all. The flip side is that our daughter (we don't yell) is, not anxious yet, but is very sensitive, especially to correction. I don't think the yelling is the factor that matters. I think it's much about genetics or other underlying personality issues.[/quote]
