10 Ways to Stop Yelling at Your Child


10 Ways to Stop Yelling at Your Child

Every child is good and can be trained to behave properly. Yelling is not the solution and sometimes it even makes things worse. Read on to learn proven ways to stop yelling at your child while you are trying to discipline.

There are times when children seem unstoppable or uncontrollable. These are the moments when parents lose their temper and yell or shout to make their child behave properly and listen to them. Unfortunately, yelling, cursing or insulting kids not only raise kids with low self-esteem, but also lead to depression and anxiety.

10 Tips to Stop Yelling at Children

Let us take a look at the 10 tips to stop yelling at children.

1. Be Mindful While Responding

Every parent is cautious and tries not to yell, shout or scold their children when someone is at home or if they are in public. Try this at home also. If your child does not follow any rule or does not behave properly, stay calm and talk to her as you would do in public.

2. Take a Deep Breath When Angry

If you find that your child did not follow your instruction, do not lose your temper even if you find an urge to do so. Take a deep breath, collect yourself and your emotions. Now talk to your child and find out the reason of disobedience first.

3. Address the Behaviour

When you teach your children to write or ride a bicycle, you encourage them, support them and guide them so that they excel in what they are doing eventually. The same attitude should be when you are expecting specific behaviour from your child.

4. Use Firm But Soft Language and Tone

There is no need to use stern tone or strict language. You can give commands in a calm yet firm soft voice also. Your child will grasp things faster without making you lose your voice.

5. Find out the Cause of Your Child’s Misbehaviour

If your child does not behave properly, try to find out the actual reason behind it instead of yelling. Remind yourself that finding out the cause behind misbehaviour more important than just yelling at her.

6. Make the Rules Clear

Always keep in mind that empty threats and nagging do not work especially when it comes to kids. Make sure your child understands what she has to do. Remember to follow through especially if the instruction is for something needed to be done daily instead of yelling.

7. Let Your Child Have an Alternative

One of the biggest reasons why children misbehave is that they do not have an alternative way to express their feelings. Instead of yelling, show her know that you understand that she is angry on a specific thing, but misbehaviour is not acceptable.

8. Remind Yourself of Your Child’s Good Behaviour

Often parents pay attention and react on wrong behaviour and this gives the child a wrong indication. So, the next time you feel like yelling at your child, remind yourself of her good behaviour and try to correct her mistake calmly.

9. Remember, this Phase is not Going to Come Again

During toddler age and preschool time, you are closest to your child. Take advantage of this and endorse your bond with your child instead of yelling for misbehaviour.

10. See Things from Your Child’s Eyes

When you yell at your child you increase the risk of tearing your child down. If you put yourself in your child’s shoes you will understand that how embarrassed or insulted, you would feel when someone yells at you. Remember, the same goes with your child.
Always keep in mind what your primary objective as a parent is. After all you need to teach your child and build her up.

Children learn most of the things from parents. So, if parents yell children are going to learn the same and yell back at them.

Yelling does not help at all. So, why waste time in yelling at kids.
