Before you had kids, you probably entertained delusions of grandeur about raising your child to be the essence of perfection. Your friends with children laughed to themselves, while you continued to make plans to avoid spanking, use positive parenting and never to raise your voice. But parenting is hard and sometimes pushes us to our breaking point (on a daily basis!). If you catch yourself yelling and regretting it, you’re not alone. Every parent finds themselves screeching out commands in desperation at one point or another, and the likelihood only increases as you have more children! Whether or not you think your child responds well to yelling, most would agree its not the best method to take when talking to our kids, and sets them up for communication issues into the future. If you’re tired of reverting to yelling out of desperation, then take a look at our list on ways you can halt the hollering.
1. Make a Decision To Stop
It seems too easy to say, “ok I’ll just stop yelling,” and it is. But if you don’t make the decision that you need to make a change, then you’ll keep on screeching. This is one decision that you will have to make every day, not just the one time (unless you’re perfect!). You probably learned early on that as a parent, you are also human and need to give yourself grace. Yelling is no exception.
