Breaking the Cycle of Yelling: Understanding and Effective Communication

To break the cycle of yelling at kids, it is crucial to understand the roots of this behavior. Parents who come from environments where yelling was common may find themselves inclined to yell at their own kids. The speaker emphasizes how this learned behavior, mirroring what was modeled in their upbringing, can influence their parenting style. Yelling often stems from shame and emotional dysregulation, leading to a pattern of reactive responses. The key to breaking this cycle lies in moving beyond self-deprecation, working to resolve the triggers that lead to yelling, and focusing on long-term communication strategies.
