Were you spanked as a kid? And how many of those spankings do you actually remember? I remember maybe a handful of mine, but I know I was spanked a lot more than that... Anyone have opinions on why (if this is the case with you)...

ChicaPerica I agree with you Nexis. I was one of those where everytime I did something wrong as a child, yelling would always make me feel inferior and more of a disappointment.I think words are more dangerous than physical discipline. I would hate to hear my mother yell...

mashimaro It is not right to yell your children, or yelling a person infront to your kids, because they will adopt this when they grow. it is bad for them, this is not a good example..because if they can see this to their parents they will think that yelling is good.

Brooke3 No, I don't think it's okay. It's one thing to discipline your child and instruct them but it has to be done calmly. I tend to think of yelling as a sign of anger and you can't discipline anyone if you are angry, you are just acting on agression. I think that...

kataztrophy Yelling at anyone won't always get you the best results. Yelling will just let someone know that you are angry, but you must articulate your feeling without losing your temper to let people understand WHY you are angry.

webduck Keeping calm when you want to yell is probably the hardest thing a parent has to do. If you are yelling, kids probably don't hear what you say as much as the tone you are saying it in. The only time I can say it might be good to yell at a child is when they...

sbeauty Yelling at children causes more adverse effects than it helps anything. Think about yourself. How do you feel when you're yelled at, and how do you react? Children have less-developed coping mechanisms than you do, so they are unable to handle being yelled...

marief2rnurse Yelling is never okay. Yelling at your kid won't let them listen to you. You'll only scare them and shut them down. That's why it's advised to calm down first before dealing with your kids when you're really upset.
