Mission Prep and Aja Chavez recently shared insights on a growing body of research showing that yelling at children can have long-term psychological effects. Studies suggest that frequent verbal discipline, including yelling and harsh criticism, may contribute to increased anxiety, low self-esteem, and behavioral challenges in children.
Experts emphasize that while frustration is a natural part of parenting, finding healthier communication strategies is crucial for fostering emotional well-being in kids. Approaches such as positive reinforcement, active listening, and setting clear expectations can help build trust and resilience without resorting to verbal outbursts.
At Mission Prep, we advocate for emotionally supportive parenting techniques that encourage growth and self-confidence in children. Creating a safe, nurturing environment allows kids to develop strong emotional foundations and healthier coping mechanisms.
