Intentional Parenting Podcast - The Show About How To Be A Great Mom Or Dad And Parent With Purpose

Show Notes Fun Times with Dad: Taking Nolan to the Pacers/Pelicans game, his first NBA game. I would yell at our kids on occasion. It seemed like I did more when they were young than I do now. I think it has changed because they have gotten older but more because I have matured. It's not something I'm proud of but I thought through some of the reasons I would yell at the kids and I share those in this episode. Reasons we Yell: Express anger Demonstrate authority Prove a point Get attention As a measure of discipline Because we're tired Lack of patience Lack of control of our emotions Effect of Yelling: Creates chaos Breaks down relationships Often unproductive May help get something done but not getting something resolved Stirs up anger A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger. ~ Proverbs 15:1
