Yelling at Kids in Public.

aw, see, kids arent complete monsters, they will listen if you treat them like humans. Like MAMA said (momma dun told me heh) kids act up if they are tired, my daughter tends to get vocal when she misses a nap but man, if I yell, it gets worse so being kind and patient has seemed to work with her. But then my husband thinks taking an attitude like that will make her treat me like a welcome mat to walk all over. If she does, oh well, at least she wont see me as the parent who yells. she already knows when she does wrong, she says to me....Dadda yell....I just would rather be a kind mother and let him yell.

The kids don't really act up in public. If we are at a restaurant, we will talk to them about whats wrong and if needed we will ask them to take a few deep breathes and calm down if none of that works, we will just leave. If they can't act right they don't need special treats like eating out.
If we are grocery shopping, they will be talked to and asked to take a few deep breathes and if that doesn't work, they will be brought to the restroom and talked to and of course, asked to take a few deeep breathes and calm down and if not, they will be flicked in the forehead.

One evening, we went to get some fast food and Allie wanted to eat in the place and we told her no, not this time and she fell asleep and when we got home she woke up and threw the biggest fit a child could throw. So she was picked her up, and put her in her room until she stopped screaming. My boyfriend tried to talk to her, get her to calm down and she would only yell and scream at him so she stayed in her room until she was calm enough to talk to us.


We always talk to the kids. Hey, whats going on? Whats wrong? Why are you crying? Ask them questions and discuss the situation with them and have them take a few deep breathes and usually that calms them down.

 

the kids

we ? :juggle:

waitwhat

baked like cookies

 

I love yelling at kids in public! Thanks for this thread so we can share experiences :biggrin:

 

I want to teach my child how to control himself emotionally, especially in front of strangers so I don't ever plan on yelling at him in public or at home.

My mom used a voice on him the other day that I haven't heard in forever. He was trying to stand up and grab her tv stand, and she said "no no, don't do that" in this really low but extremely sharp voice. That voice used to put the fear of god in me when I was little. It got his attention and he sat down on his bottom with a surprised look on his face. So I tried the same voice with him a few days later when he was trying to get into something and he just laughed at me lol.

I think kids are pretty smart and once they're 3 years old and older you can usually explain things to them and make them understand without resorting to yelling.

 

me, my boyfriend, and his kids.

 

Yelling at kids when they aren't yours is okay, right?

 

OK, for one i never said i yelled at them
For 2, I care for those kids as much as their mom or father.. i watch them while their dad and their mom are working on our time and her time and i schedule my school schedule around everyone's schedule so i can watch them.
For 3, just because they aren't mine doesn't mean i'm not a type of parental figure in their life. We do all live together and everything. I'm not separate from the kids.

And wouldn't it be for the parent and other person to discuss what is ok for discipline? Not for other people to decide.

 

I wasn't directing that at you... I was just asking in general.


I used to have to yell "Get off my lawn!" a lot when I was in the city.

 

ok lol sorry.

 

this.
I have a ton of kids and I will admit to the flustered moment where I have lost it. and yelled. and had a public audience.
Recentley it was at the museum of Nat'l history in Nyc. lol. I am not afraid to yell at them, but I prefer to not look like "that lady yelling"
If you met my kids you would congratulate me on my sanity!

 

OH ! got it now ! hows that going, having a blast? :sunny:
