Learning Points: Shouting drowns out the message you want heard

A topic I find myself discussing a lot in the therapeutic space is that of shouting. Of course, we all raise our voices from time to time when dealing with our children.

And I fundamentally believe our children must see that we have teeth and that we can be sharp at times, and as I said in last week’s article, our children should learn how to deal with adversity in their formative years to be properly prepared for the adult world, but shouting at your child is something different.
