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. Additionally, parents are encouraged to use stories and reframing techniques to make difficult situations more enjoyable and to teach children important lessons. By focusing on creating a cooperative and respectful environment, parents can build stronger connections with their children.
