6 Ways to Discipline Kids Without Yelling

Houston Day care Academy

Establish Clear Rules

You’ll be less likely to resort to yelling if you’ve established clear household rules. It can help to keep a list of household rules prominently displayed in your home.

When rules are broken, follow through with an immediate consequence.

Establish Consequences Ahead of Time

Explain the negative consequences of breaking the rules to your child ahead of time. Use time-out, take away privileges, or logical consequences to help your child learn from a behavioral slip-up.2

For example, you could say: "If you don't do your chores before dinner, there will be no TV for the night." From there, it's up to your child to make good choices. Since the ball is in their court, you'll be less likely to yell at them about doing their chores.

Consider which consequences are likely to be most effective. Keep in mind that the consequences that work well for one child may not work for another.
Provide Positive Reinforcement

Motivate your child to follow the rules by using positive reinforcement. If there are negative consequences for breaking the rules, make sure you also offer positive consequences for following the rules.

Praise your child for following the rules. Say something like, "Thank you for doing your chore list right when you got home today. I appreciate that."

Offer Warnings When Appropriate

Instead of yelling, give your child a warning when they don't listen. If you use a "when...then" phrase, it lets them know about the possible outcome once they follow through. Say something like, "When you pick up your toys, then you will be able to play with blocks after dinner."
