Every parent reaches a boiling point where they end up yelling and saying things they wish they didn't say to their child. It's human, and it happens. But now a new study suggests that yelling can be just as psychologically damaging as physical abuse.
"Getting out the door is one of the hardest things. I just need you to brush your teeth and then we're gonna do something fun," she said."I've yet to ever meet a parent, myself included I'm a parent, who has never raised her voice and has never yelled.
"Any form of trauma impacts our educational abilities and social emotional abilities. It impacts our health. When a child is being yelled at, their brain activates and it says we're in danger. And when that child is stuck in that space, the child can't learn," Hurtado said. Psychologists say the behavior we model in front of our kids now is the same behavior they'll model in front of their kids, because we all know when we get angry, we turn into our parents.To break the cycle, Hurtado said tune in with your body. Ask yourself, "Are you already agitated?"
"So that when my child shows up in their developmentally appropriate behaviors, I'm so quick to react versus respond," Hurtado said.In heated moments, Sibayan takes a deep breath. Her daughter has learned to do the same. "Just the fact that she takes deep breaths when she is angry. Can you imagine like as a grownup, what she'll do with her future children?" Sibayan said.8 minutes ago
