Why do some children only listen when you shout?
Many parents find themselves saying the same thing over and over and over until they want to explode.
The first request is ignored.
The second goes unnoticed.
By the fifth reminder, everyone is frustrated.
Eventually the volume goes up—and suddenly the child responds.
This can create the impression that shouting works.
In reality, many children become so accustomed to repeated reminders that they have learned to wait until they hear urgency in our voice before taking action.
Others struggle with attention, transitions, emotional regulation, executive functioning, or moving away from an activity they are deeply engaged in.
Understanding what sits beneath the behaviour allows us to respond more effectively.
DOING DISCIPLINE WITHOUT DOING DAMAGE explores practical strategies that help parents gain cooperation without living in a cycle of constant reminders and escalating frustration.

Consequences that escalate behaviour instead of changing it
Many teachers have experienced this:
The consequence is given... and the behaviour gets worse.
We'll be exploring why this happens and what teachers can do instead.

Why punishments often stop working
If you've ever found yourself thinking,

this conversation is for you.
