How to stop shouting at the child? We understand the reasons and listen to a psychologist
The best mother is patient, everyone knows this, but not everyone can fulfill this golden rule. Often we hear and see calls for help on the Internet: "I am a bad mother, I shout at my child." If you decide to change your life, this article will help you take the first steps to harmony.
The reasons
1. “Traditions” from generation to generation
Grandma screamed at mom, mom at me, and I pass on my experience as well. In another way they did not teach.
Remember that you are an adult, you can pull yourself together, control emotions and speech. Everyone wants to have healthy offspring, and not only physically, but also emotionally. Be patient, often hug and kiss your baby. Your child deserves to live in love and joy.
2. Disruption of anger on a weak opponent
The kid can not answer, stand up for himself, give a fitting rebuff. We are annoyed at another person or at a situation, at her husband, mother-in-law, maybe we were offended at work or pushed on the street. Any incident can provoke a breakdown.
Find your own way to download. Pummel pear, go to the gym, take a bath with incense - whatever you want to throw out the anger, relax.
3. I know the best!
Often our requirements for the child are not justified, we try to “live life anew”, we force them to learn what they have not been taught, to do what they have dreamed of.
Let the child choose his own path, live his life, without pressure and screams. Advise, reason, help choose, but without coercion. It only hurts the kid, he will close, move away because of misunderstanding, and it will be difficult for him to realize, because he is not good enough for the most significant people.
4. Time Management
We do not know how to organize your day. We rush, run, or, on the contrary, watch the series, and then in a short time we want to have time to redo everything. And as a result - stress, tension, dissatisfaction with himself and the quality of his life. Guilty, of course, the child, he dabbles, runs away, is fascinated by something at the wrong time.
We are late, shouting, jerking "eat faster, get dressed," etc. The child does not know how to hurry, and he should not. He does not understand, but only feels your indignation.
Learn to plan your day. Do not overburden yourself, leave time to rest, play with the child, talk with your husband. Do not put unattainable goals - it will only increase the tension.
5. Lack of patience
We also shout when we repeat the same thing many times, answering the same questions. We help with the lessons, and the child does not understand the elementary.
Gather, do not shout, do not specify and do not order. In the form of a game or just calmly explain again and again. The child develops, help him, accept him as he is. Children grow, and the relationship between you remains. In children, rejection is fixed, confidence in their own inferiority.
6. Orientation towards others
The neighbor children are always so neat, but mine is not brought up, runs and makes noise. In an effort to justify myself, to prove to everyone that I am a good mother, we ponor, we shout, we forbid. And in another situation, the same actions do not cause such a reaction. Since this is not a desire to educate, but a desire to appear better than we are.
The kid is confused, he is upset - try to stick to your own rules all the time.Do not mislead the kid, because he can not be a hypocrite with you.
7. Anxiety and fear for the child
Covers the horror, it seems that now something happens. Fall, hit, sick, so scream and pull: do not go, do not go, you break. First of all, you should understand that worrying about your child is normal. Especially in the first three years after birth, the panic gradually passes.
Do not wind yourself, do not look for a negative on the network and on TV. Reassure that all children are ill, all fall, transfer energy to a peaceful course, take care of yourself and your home.
Tear off your child from yourself more often, leave your grandmother for a couple of hours or dad. Be vigilant, but do not cultivate panic.
Do not prohibit without explaining the reason: every ban must be explained, otherwise you risk raising a person who is afraid of everything.
8. Disobedience of the child when it seems that he does everything for evil
It seems to us that the only way to be heard is to scream. In fact, it is better to find a special approach. From screaming kids do not understand what exactly they need. Shouting - it means they do not like, the child is anxious and lost. How to be if you fell out of love for having scattered toys.
Hold back! For example:
- Do not shout from afar, do not push, your wishes should correspond to the thinking of the baby. Up to 6 years it is best not just to tell you what to do and how to do it, but also to practice, to do the necessary action together.
- If your child is a leader, do not press him much, he will not apologize and will not adapt. It is better to negotiate with these children, to explain with good, to learn to take responsibility for actions.
Do not forget that too strict upbringing contributes to the development of addiction, double life. The kid understands that lying and cheating is the only way to keep peace with parents who are not looking for compromises. No child should listen to insults, learn to respect him.
Ways to avoid screams
- Establish a trust relationship. No need for total control and unconditional submission. Ask for the opinion of the little man - “How do you want? Can you help me? ” If you need to ask the child about something important, go to him, sit on his level, take a hand or hug. Address him with patience and explanation of motives. Both you and the baby should understand that the most important thing is your relationship and love, and not completed assignments.
- Praise, speak warm words for every good deed. Encourage your child as often as possible, no useful action should go unnoticed.

- Try to understand the child, he also gets tired and is in a bad mood. Look for an excuse for him, nullify the conflict.
- Imagine that the child is a stranger. Consider whether it is right that we are more patient with other people's pranks, this is not fair. Hold back, baby is not your property. Such role-playing games will help to treat leprosy more loyal.
