Parents are human, too, and sometimes we lose our patience and shout or snap at our loved ones. But how do you know if you’re yelling at your kids too much? Is it affecting the dynamic in the house, or even your kids’ development?
Not all yelling has the same effect. You won’t damage your kids if you occasionally raise your voice after asking them to put on their shoes for the 15th time.
But if you do feel like your overreactions due to anger, frustration, or stress have taken over your parenting more than they should, then how can you stop the negative cycle of yelling at your kids too much?
If you’re here, that means you’re taking the first important step toward self-awareness! You’re a loving parent who cares about your kids’ wellbeing, but we all need a little support sometimes.
