[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My two cents - I have only had to raise my voice when they were in danger or doing dangerous things. But TBH - my individual situation was different. I only had 2 kids and there was a very good age gap between them, so raising them was very easy. Also, I had support and I was home. My DH was a very capable, chill, loving and involved dad - so he managed kids and household well, and he prioritized my rest and sleep too. So, I was never an exhausted or frazzled mom when I was raising kids. I did give a lot of time and attention to my kids (Kangaroo mom) so I was very attuned to their needs and moods. We communicated very well right from when they were little and my kids have always had the faith that their needs will be met in a timely manner, that I will be available to them, and that things will be fair and equitable. Yes, I do sometimes use a serious tone also, which my kids recognize and respond to - even now that they are AC. But, mostly, my kids use their words and indoor voices...[/quote] Yeah, I do yell when danger or any sort of physical violence is an issue (I have two boys close in age). Luckily, it's not like this happens all the time.[/quote]
