Tired ofYelling?

Shift intoReverse...

If you’re a parent, you know that disciplining children can be hard.

I’ll never forget when my daughter, about two-and-a-half at the time, had a full-blown temper tantrum in Target. Up to that point, I thought my husband and Ihad the discipline thing all figured out. I'm embarrassed to admit that I neverthought my child would prostrate herself on the floor in the middle of a store,kicking and screaming.

Boy, was I humbled.

And it’s easy to lose your patience and yell when you’re faced with a situation like that. In fact, I think that’s how I handled it that day--by picking mydaughter up, carrying her out of the store, then yelling at her to stop.

Several temper tantrums and another child later, I’ve learned a couple of thingsabout discipline.And, even though I’m no expert, I’ve found that "shifting intoreverse"--doing the opposite of yelling—really works, especially as my kids have gotten older.

When my son or daughter misbehave or do something they shouldn’t, instead ofraising my voice, I'll lower it. By pulling them aside and talking to them quietly, itseems to create a “pause moment” that helps them to more easily acknowledge andchange their behavior.And it sure beats yelling.

Does this mean I never lose my patience? I wish.And does this approach workevery time, with every child? Of course not.There are times, depending on the situation, that this approach may not be the best. It also of course depends on theage and temperament of your child. But when our kids understand that we will follow through on what we say (i.e.“if you don’t stop throwing your toy, I’m goingto take it away”, and then we do take it away if they throw it again), this approach,though quiet, works. And it eliminates the need to raise your voice.

Which, in turn, makes disciplining a whole lot more peaceful for everyone.
