I teach in govt school. One day, I was going home on the #metro train, and I met my old student Ankita in #train.
My friend was looking very #tense. I asked her the reason for her being so tense. She said, "Madam, my son is 5 years old. Every #morning, he makes so much fuss about going to #school. It is time for me to make breakfast. Due to #frustration of work and other factors contributing, I #yell at him. That makes me sad".
I said, "Ankita yelling at kids is not a respected #parenting technique.#Patience is key. Please maintain your #calm. Instead of yelling, if you try to #convince your son that please be #prompt, otherwise you will miss the school bus. #Yelling is a short-term goal. Making children understand the urgency of #situation in a calm atmosphere has a long-term #impact on children. Please practice #meditation to become a calm parent. I request you, Ankita, please be patient with your son when you are giving #toilet training. Ankita's small children's nervous system is sensitive, therefore #yelling may have a bad impact on the child.
Moral of the story- yelling is not a good technique for #parenting. It is considered to be #destructive for the child. Better is to show #patience while teaching good #manners to #kids.
