Have you ever yelled at your child for no reason and then felt sorry for that?

no i dont yelled my son with no reason. If we always yelling our kids the tendency is, they are not follow you or they wont answer you when you needed them.

People who are unhappy will shout at children and this is very bad in my book. It's too bad we can't legislate parenthood. Maybe China is right in limiting their children to 1 so that they will cherish their children. The downside is a lot of Chinese children are undisciplined and unruly because of being an only child and an only grandchild. Imagine a child having a set of parents and 2 sets of grandparents caring for him?

I think most parents can claim this mistake. It is not a good feeling to hurt a child and, unfortunately, you cannot eat words. Once you say them, they are with the child forever-words do hurt sometimes. I apologize and hope that I haven't damaged our relationship to deeply. I try to be better and more loving and slower to anger next time. What can you do, when you throw the words out, they're out.

A lot of parents take out their anger on their children. I think that it does have a real big impact on the child. The child may be less outgoing and lack confidence in themself as a consequence of this. The child may also suffer a lack in trust of people and may not be able to hold a close relationship with the parent. I dont have any children, but I do sometimes take stuff out on my boyfriend that I regret right after. I thinkthat everyone takes stuff out on the ones they love. We hurt those we love the most of all. It's so crazy. I think that it hurts children the most though in these situations because I dont think that they fully understand that the person isn't really mad at them, but that they are just in the crossfire, so I think that it can really stick with them. Maybe the mother should go to counseling for this. I think that it would really benefit her and her daughter very much.

i yelled at my daughter yes, but theres a reason why. but after yelling, i felt sorry about it. cause i really dont like that to happen. i love my kid but sometimes we cant hold on to our temper.

This one is done by everybody. everyone belongs to this category and you can then say "to err is human". its very difficult, i would say that there would be no one who have not done that. one time or the other a person will be in bad mood and the child does something or the other in a childish or silly way. we might not be in a mood to take that and end up smashing the child. i am not having any child but i can understand about this. one may try to have better control over oneself otherwise you can't do much better. the best thing i would like is that the parent or the elder person goes to the child and appologises. this would bring the child back to normalcy. otherwise it hurts the child mentally.

Maybe I'm guilty of this for about twice. My daughter is 2 years old too. But then I said sorry right after and I tried explaining why I got mad. You see, their age can really take a toll on one's patience. Nobody's perfect, sometime we are really caught offguard. My child even has this habit of doing stuff more when I tell her not too. sometimes, I put myself in their shoes and I think they do this because they want to test us until where we can actually tolerate them. It's hard being a parent.. and I guess it's hard being a kid too. LOL! however in your neighbor's case, it will definitely have an effect on the kid. Does she ever show affection to the daughter? Or is it always like that? Is there somebody else there to shower the kid with love?

God bless the child who suffer..I feel very ashamed of her mother,it's not fair to show the anger to a innocent child.

i just yell at my parents but then feel sorry and regret to do like that. i love them so much.

Yeah, there have been times when I've yelled at my kid brother and felt guilty for doing so. I think it's my initial irritation that I can't control and drives me to act on impulse, but once I get over it, I'm able to think in a different perspective and realize possible wrongs I'd made. I wonder if my mom feels the same--there are times when she yells at my brother for trivial things, and I feel like she just has expectations of him that are too high. She expects him to do too much (homework-style) worksheets during the summer when most of our neighbors are out playing. It frustrates him, and I know it frustrates her that he often refuses to do the worksheets, but she really should just let him live his childhood. Academics can be dealt with later, as he grows older.

i know i can be a little too hard on my kids at times. i'm really trying to work on it. being a parent is difficult. you learn by trial and error, for the most part.
