[quote=Anonymous]We don’t yell much in our house. We went on vacation with a family where the kids didn’t listen unless the parents yelled, and even then it was a toss up. It felt chaotic. There were small moments I noticed that could’ve made life a bit easier. For example, when asking kids to turn off their game, I ask where was a good stopping point and how to get there. Our friends, meanwhile, would suddenly tell the kids to turn it off or arbitrarily set a timer for when the game was supposed to go off. Of course there was yelling with no real communication. Our friends kept talking about screen time use, and the kids kept talking about how they had to lose progress in a game. I tried to mention to my friend that usually kids wanted to save their progress, but she dismissed me. I had to leave the house because of the yelling. To this day, I doubt they realize when they yell, they’re each having separate conversations and talking about different things.[/quote]
