[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Daughter of yeller here. There is a difference between yelling and berating / terrorizing. Yes, I yell at my kids. I have boys. And a speaking voice that at its normal level is soft. Often they don't hear me until I yell. I give lots of warnings though before I yell and without the yelling we would never get anywhere on time. So, I don't think yelling is what's bad. I am clear about what I am yelling about and it is always bc kids not heed my first, second, third warnings. I make sure to preface a yell by saying which kid(s) it's directed to. i don't think yelling is a problem. It's yelling with the intent of abuse (demeaning or hurting the person being yelled at) that's an issue. [/quote] I think that your kids are conditioned to hearing only yelling, therefore, only hear you when you yell.[/quote]
