Stop Yelling At Your Kids

Parenting is hard. If you’re a parent, I’m sure that I don’t need to tell you that our job is a tough one. When you're managing children, it can be difficult to remember that they are still learning. If you find yourself yelling at your kids more often than you want to, here are some ways that can help you reduce the yelling. I’ve been working on this for the past few months and I have to say,it’s been amazing for both the kids and me.

If you are having an argument with your child, you need to make sure you both take the time to really listen. It gives both of you time to think and really listen to each other, which is important. Kids are more likely to listen to you if you listen to them!

One of your biggest struggles is to remind yourself of appropriate expectations. You can’t expect that your youngest acts as responsibly as your oldest. You should lower what you expect -taking into consideration things like their age - it can make a big difference. You should do your best to take a moment before yelling and take in a deep breath. It makes a world of difference for you. Instead of yelling, you’d better whisper. It can also help diffuse any situation by making things quieter, not louder. Besides, the more time you spend with your kids, the better you’ll get at communicating with them. You’re both more likely to understand each other.

If your children aren’t listening or it seems they only don’t listen to you, you don’t take it personally. You should remind yourself that your kids are still learning and they’re not going to be perfect.

When your parents quarrel．what do you do? It may be terrible for you． You feel sad and angry． But that doesn't help． Here are some tips(建议) for you． Maybe they can help you．

1．Know why they quarrel． Your father and mother have their own ideas． They don-t agree on something． So they quarrel．even fight． But it doesn- t mean that they don't Iove each other．They will make up(和解)soon． Don't worry．

2．If both of your parents ask you who is right．never say one of them is wrong． Either of them thinks he or she is right．so even if you have an idea．be clever! Don't tell the truth．

3．If they begin to break glasses．chairs．or fight witb each other．you should stay far． When They are angry． they think little about you． You should be careful not to get hurt．

4．If you need help．call your grandparents．uncles．or other relatives． You can also call your neighbors or teachers

Leachers．

5．Look for or a friend． :tell him your feelings． Don't keep all to yourself．

6．After your parents make up．tell them how sad and angry you felt． They'll probably not quarrel or fight again．

7．lf your parents often quarrel．leave them alone! You can do your own things．such as do your homework or read a book．

Everyone wants a happy family without quarreling or fighting． But sometimes．we must face something．and do something to change it．
