RE: Why Do We Yell at Kids? A mother’s reflection on love, discipline, and learning better ways.
You have consciously developed your role as a mother, reflected on your own upbringing, and drawn conclusions from it. For me, it was all more of a natural process—I didn't yell because my voice can't do it; I'm basically permanently hoarse. And I hate loud people. So I speak quietly. If you want to understand me, you just have to listen... And so on. It worked in a way. It became extreme for my children when they were confronted with the other side, the noise and shouting and arguing...
Thank you so much for sharing this. 🌸 I find your perspective very inspiring. Sometimes our limitations (like your hoarse voice) actually become hidden blessings that shape the way we parent. I love how you turned that into quiet communication, teaching your children to listen closely rather than respond to volume.
You’re so right about the challenge when children then experience the “other side” of yelling and loudness outside the home. It’s almost like they discover a different world of communication, and it can be jarring for them. Your story is a reminder that gentleness is effective, even when the world sometimes suggests otherwise.
I’m encouraged to keep learning from parents like you. Thank you for adding this depth to the conversation; it shows there isn’t just one way to raise our kids, but that intentionality matters most. 💛
