[REPLAY] Yelling | CP175

Ever wondered why we, as parents, sometimes resort to yelling, even when we know it's not the most effective approach?

Yelling is like an age-old parenting reflex, but let's be honest – it rarely brings out the best in our kids or us.

In this episode, I uncover the 'why' behind our shouting tendencies, the real impact it has on our little ones (hint: it's not good), and most importantly, what we can do instead.

Let's embark on a journey to discover effective, positive ways of parenting that nurture a happier, healthier family dynamic.
