The Power of Calmness and Acceptance
In other cultures, yelling at children is seen as immature and unproductive. Parents in these cultures emphasize the importance of remaining calm and not reacting with anger. By staying calm and speaking softly, parents can help their children calm down and regulate their emotions. This approach also includes accepting the child's contributions and ideas, which fosters a sense of inclusion and purpose.
