We NEVER shout at our children. It takes much patience, love, and discipline to raise children and shouting or screaming at them stomps on their self-esteem, as well as just makes them angry! We have found that by looking at them directly in the eye, even if that means having to squat down to see them face to face, speaking in a direct and low voice, they respond so much better! I know children who get yelled at on a daily basis and they pretty much tune out their parents as well as the fact that they have lost all respect for them! Adults do not like to be yelled at, so why would children? There is absolutely no reason for it and anyone who says that "all parents shout at their children, or they are liars" is feeling guilty for their own actions.

I have shouted a few times, not everyday but my daughter has picked up on it & copies me ( she's only 1) so i guess its not a good thing lol then again we both fall about in fits of laughter so i guess its all about what it leads to, if you carry on angry, turn violent, have stoney silences then its not good but if you kiss & make up & see the funny side then whats the harm in having a little shout now & again, it gives your kids a chance to see the world isnt all fluffy & they won't be so shocked the first time they come across it 7 break down like a nervous wreck.

It depends what mood they are in. My son has days when he can be really pleasant and I hardly need to shout but lately it seems to be getting more often. I try not to shout straight away, just tell him no first but if he ignores me then I raise my voice a little. I've only really shouted at him once when he was sticking his fingers in his nannas plug socket, scared the life out of me!!

Lol, but i am lil kid. Anyways, I think mums should shout on their children when they are doing something really bad. But if you shout at them all the time then they get used to it and dont listen. If you do it rarely they get really scared and become really nice because you have scared them by shouting rarely. Also comfort them, because you dont wanna get a bad impression on the kids. That's because if a kis thinks your bad, he/she keeps thinking that in his/her whole life.

As close to NEVER as possible. I think every parent has at least once. We chose to use consequences (including spanking for serious stuff) and words rather then shouting.

Not too often but there will be those that say they never do,
They're liars of course everyone shouts at their kids, it's a parent thing

I try not to raise my voice. I find when I keep it cool and disapline, everyone stays calmer and there ends up being less chaos. I have to say that I do raise my voice a lot though. It is just human nature when you are mad you yell. I'm trying to limit that though.

depends on my mood and how many hours of sleep I've had.
some days i don't shout at all...other days it seems like I'm shouting all day.
i wish i could be more consistent but I'm only human and i don't smack.

Too much, in the bad habit of them ignoring me until I shout, threaten or bribe
