Dr Becky Kennedy says post-shouting ‘repair’ matters more than shouting
On Purpose with Jay Shetty
Dr. Becky Kennedy Explains What Kids Actually Need to Feel Confident
What was said
"Yelling at kids messes kids up far less than yelling at kids and not repairing after you've yelled. It's actually the not repairing that's really hard because then kids are left alone with this intense set of feelings."
Dr Becky Kennedy argues that shouting at children is less damaging than failing to return afterwards to explain what happened and apologise. She says repair can help children make sense of the incident, while lack of repair may leave them confused and more likely to blame themselves.
