We get a little serious in this episode -- and Greg sheds a few tears -- because in our work we've seen the trauma caused by yelling parents.

\u201cPeople are people no matter how small.\u201d Your children are people. And when you yell at them \u2014 consistently and in anger \u2014 you\u2019re traumatizing them. How dare you treat a precious being in your care with such contempt. Stop it! You\u2019re the adult. Learn to act like it. They deserve your love and respect.

Despite this harsh and straightforward statement, we are actually very empathetic to the stress and overwhelm parents are under. We do know that children can be annoying and can push all your buttons. We know that you\u2019re exhausted, depleted, unsupported, and pulled in every direction.

But ultimately, while yelling might work in the short term, it damages relationships in the long term. Yelling means you\u2019ve reached your \u2018wits\u2019 end\u2019, have run out of parenting skills, and don\u2019t have a close enough attachment with the child you\u2019re yelling at.

Listen to this episode to learn how to fix all of that. And learn how to never yell in anger again. Watch how this will drastically change your family culture and parent/child relationships.
