Is it wrong to yell at my children?

Answer 1

if you didnt you must be freakin god


but adding on to this...dont yell at them for little mistakes. because then they dont take you yelling seriously and that would be a mess.

Answer 2

It so depends on the situation and what you consider yelling. I would definitely yell if the child put himself in danger, but sometimes kids think I am yelling when I am speaking sternly. I think if you say, "no, never yell, it hurts more than it helps," you are sheltering your children and doing more of a disservice than anything. Life isn't always going to be calm and rational, and kids need to learn both that and how to come to terms with the person that yelled after the episode.

Answer 3

I don't typically yell, I would say but I do know that I raise my voice. I can think of a few times I have come close to yelling and afterwards I felt real awful and asked God to give me patience and guidance. Raising kids is hard. Mothers are human, therefore, we are not perfect and can react impulsively sometimes. If you are a yeller, try a different approach with the kids. You might be surprised with your results. Something that I do is before I discipline my kids I pray about it. I would say that for me this is of the most help. It gives me a few moments to collect myself if I am mad and also collect my thoughts along with what explanation I am going to offer as to why they are being punished. Changing habits is hard, but if you really want to work on yelling than take it to the big man upstairs. He will make a difference in your mothering!

Answer 4

Absolutely. Please realise that they are STILL children. Yelling will only hurt them. Instead, try to explain to them in the simplest manner possible as to why what they did was wrong or unacceptable. Make sure they ask questions as to why what they did was wrong. Answer those. And in this process make sure that you are also instilling good morals and values to them. But for all this, one will have to be a good parent and above all a good human being themselves. Maybe, and just maybe, in extreme cases where the kids are really annoying and refuse to listen should one speak with a stern tone. Otherwise, at all costs completely avoid yelling at kids.

Answer 5

It is wrong to yell at them all the time. That only makes for a yelling family. However, yelling at your children in a time of potential danger may be the only way to get their attention.

If you yell at them all the time, it looses it's impact.

Answer 6

yes , it's wrong to yell at them. they can be corrected with out yelling. it will probably take More effort on your part , as you will have to get their attention, and say calmly what you want to say. i have found that a little explaining, as to why you need them to behave a certain way will make it easier the next time. sometimes when we yell, it's because we ourselves are out of control also. the children pick this up. can you find out what is bothering you, so you can work on that, and be calmer for the children?

Answer 7

In my opinion wen children commit mistakes parents should not beat or yell on them becoz mainly children starts avoiding their parents or may someday they yell back. U should try 2 talk 2 them n tell them politely what is wrong n what is right. Make them ur frends so they tell u everything.
My mother n I r just like friends. She scold me when I m wrong but then she politely clear her point in front of me. N she makes me understand how 2 work on my fault. She never yell on me. Touch wood. I can talk 2 her freely abt anything. So we share a strong bond. Make this bond b/w u n ur children. Wish Luck

Answer 8

Many people will tell you yes. Personally, I think it depends on the circumstances. If the kid's doing something that's going to get him/her hurt, maybe they need to have you raise your voice so that they understand that this is serious. On the other hand, if you stand there on a tirade yelling abuse at them, then obviously, no it's not acceptable. Use your best judgement. Think about it this way. If your boss at work was yelling at you one day, you'd pay attention, right? But if your boss did it all the time and made you feel bad about yourself, then you'd start to tune it out, right? Kids do the same with us adults.

Answer 9

Which would be more effective? Yelling at them, and having them, eventually drown you out - or talking calmly and letting them feel your disappointment. I am a yeller. I love yelling at people when I'm angry with them. However, I think that a calm voice has a much stronger impact than a loud one. Just something to consider. As to if it's wrong or not - depends on how you want to parent and if you think it will damage them in any way.

Answer 10

It is never correct to yell at anybody especially your children. There is one good practise that says: "NEVER YELL, UNLESS THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE!" and remember the story of the contest between the wind and the sun? The wind used strong negative, force ; while the sun used warmth and love...and you know which one is the winner. Love always has more positive effects - use it. Soft, subdued and positive words are more powerful than loud, yelling commands. So next time you yell, ask yourself ? "Is the house on fire?"

Answer 11

No, its better than useing any other hard measures. It also gives time to the kids to correct them self. Though children feel irritated 90% of senseable child agrees that they are fault which forces them to yell at.
Still the Gen gap makes it way, children are more curious to do what their parents try to stop without giving proper justification for stopping. So its better to correct them giving the consequential results that could have happened.
If you ask any child today, they are least bothered about yelling moms, if they are not threatend of dad.
