How to repair the damage that screaming does to children
I uncontrolled ra , the little patience, stress or fatigue causes that sometimes parents pay for the children of our problems, we face the day with anger and end up screaming and saying things to the children damaging their self – esteem. But, as the experts say, to educate, it is not necessary to shout.
However, on a daily basis we can make mistakes , we are human and we learn every day to be better parents, therefore, if you have made the mistake of yelling at your children or saying inappropriate things to them, you should:
– Admit the blame: Examine your conscience and admit that at some point you were not fair to your child, you punished him disproportionately or you lost your patience with him. Admit that words can hurt your children, and so can yelling.
– Ask for forgiveness: shouldn’t parents ask for forgiveness because we are parents? A serious mistake. If you make a mistake and yell at your child at a bad time, think back and come over to apologize.
– Talk to your child: perhaps after an anger he does not want to listen to you, but wait for the right moment, let him tell you how he felt when you yelled at him or when you said that wrong phrase . Explain why you did it, that it was in a moment of anger, not because you really think that he is.
– Be specific : when you talk to your son and apologize for something, tell him exactly why it was, in this way, you will be teaching him that this behavior was wrong and you will educate him so that he does not make those mistakes.
– Work day by day: do not let months or years go by before apologizing to your children for a bad time, the emotional damage will be greater.
– Ask for help: if you think that in your day to day with children you cannot control your anger or your patience, find a way to achieve that tranquility and serenity that you need to face the education of your children, whether doing sports, meditation or with a psychologist
