Stop Yelling at Your Kids: The Harmful Discipline Mistake #transformativeparenting #parentingtips

The last of the top 10 discipline mistakes I see every day is when parents yell or raise their voice at their children out of frustration or trying to get them to behave. It's one of the biggest concerns that parents share with me. Look, we all get frustrated. That's just part of being human and most people know what it's like to get so frustrated that we end up raising our voice. But this isn't an effective way to parent and it actually causes harm. Yelling completely shuts down the learning part of your child's brain so they literally can't learn a lesson in the moment that they're being yelled at. It also just feels awful to the child who's often just overwhelmed or disoriented. Learn to be more proactive as a parent. Learn more effective parenting strategies. Find ways of lowering your own frustrations so that you can make better parenting decisions. But raising your voice to a child or yelling is always a discipline mistake.
