Yelling is often a parent’s go-to response when they feel angry, but it can have negative effects on children. Dr. Joseph Shrand, a Harvard Medical School psychiatrist, explains that anger is a natural emotion when we want our children to change certain behaviors. However, yelling may not be an effective way to address these issues. Recognizing that yelling is counterproductive can lead to better parenting strategies. Parents struggling with frequent yelling should consider emotional regulation and consult a doctor if they feel overwhelmed, as conditions like postpartum anxiety can contribute to increased irritability and difficulty managing emotions.
