Having screaming matches with your kids?! 🗣️ If yelling worked, parenting would be easy, wouldn’t it? We’d simply shout, “Do it!” and our kids would comply. But here’s the truth: yelling doesn’t work, and instead teaches kids 3️⃣ things:

1️⃣Parents can lose control. Your child learns he/she can get you to lose control if they push the right buttons.
2️⃣Power gets things done. Your child learns that overpowering someone is the easiest way to get things done.
3️⃣How to shut you off. Your child quickly learns to shut you out mentally & emotionally and stop listening once the yelling begins.
