Children are very naughty and they do mischief all the time or you can say that they do mischief all day long. It is natural for parents to get angry with their antics.

It affects emotional health
Yelling at a toddler has a huge impact on his emotional health. Studies show that frequent yelling can lead to more anxiety, fear and stress levels in children. When a parent yells, the child may feel scared or confused, which can hamper his emotional development and make him feel insecure. A study published in the Child Development Journal mentions that harsh treatment of children, such as yelling, can lead to behavioral problems at school and symptoms of depression.
There is less trust
Trust is vital between a child and a parent. It is the foundation of any relationship. Yelling can damage this trust, making your toddler feel insecure and less inclined to seek equality and support from you in the future. When children are yelled at repeatedly, they begin to feel fearful of their parents rather than protected.
impact on intellectual development
The mental development of a toddler is very important and yelling can have a negative impact on it. When you yell at a child, their body releases stress hormones like cortisol, which can hinder brain development. This affects the child’s memory, attention and decision-making ability.
has an impact on behaviour
Children learn by observing and imitating the behaviour of those around them. When they are yelled at every day, toddlers may adopt this behaviour and as they grow older, they may use it as a way to express their dissatisfaction and emotions.
When should you raise your voice
Although it is not right to shout at a child, but in some situations it becomes necessary to raise your voice. If your small child is about to run on the road, then it is important to raise your voice to attract his attention and prevent an accident.
