How to Stop Yelling at Your Kids When They Don't Listen

Do you ever find yourself loosing control when your kids just aren't listening to you and then you just start yelling at them?

Instructions

1. Stop yelling! No seriously, stop! This is one of the most harmful abusive acts you can do to your child. Physically abusing your child seems harsh and you probably don't think your doing anything that serious, but you are!

2. Think about this; you come into work one day and before your boss say' s "Good Morning" he is in your face ***yelling*** at you because you messed up on some work you did for him yesterday, how would you feel? Probably like yelling back or quitting your job, right?

3. Understand your child is far more sensitive then you are, you have heard about bosses who yell at their employees and how it is unacceptable but that you shouldn't take it personal, it's business. Well your child doesn't think its business, its their whole world coming down around them.

4. Stop allowing your child get the best of you, when you loose your temper and start yelling, the child knows they got the best of you, even though it might hurt them that your yelling at them. Constant yelling leads to the whole "crying wolf scenario" when the child becomes numb to your discipline and trust me you don't want that for your relationship with your child!

Tips & Warnings

• Put yourself in your child's shoes, if you were being yelled at constantly how would you react? You would shut down or worse physically lash out like most kids do who are constantly yelled at! You the adult here, start acting like one, everything you do molds and shapes your child, even the things you think are harmless or normal.
