[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To me yelling = raising my voice after repeating self for the tenth time; screaming = “flying off the handle,” the thing that is never okay, which I’ve done once, and come close to maybe twice. But being more willing to yell at all seems to open the door to screaming. So as a childhood recipient of both, I feel awful after I’ve “yelled.” Even literally just increasing the volume must have a physiological effect on both parties, right? Like something linked to aggression or a warning of danger? I don’t really know what it looks like, but I’m working on becoming the parent that never even raises their voice. I wish I could get there faster, I can’t pause my kids’ childhoods[/quote] I think it’s actually okay to fly off the handle occasionally, particularly with older kids. Their actions and behavior do actually impact other people and it’s probably not a bad idea for them to see how sometimes.[/quote]
