Researchers found that shouting at seagulls is more effective than speaking in deterring them from stealing food, as gulls react more strongly to the urgency conveyed by loud vocalizations, suggesting that the way we say things influences their behavior.
New research suggests that shouting at children may cause long-term damage, as adults are often unaware of how their tone and criticizing words can negatively impact children. However, some parents argue that shouting is a necessary and effective form of discipline, teaching respect and toughness. They believe that wrapping children in cotton wool is more harmful than raising one's voice. Alternatives to shouting include positive reinforcement, teamwork, effective communication, understanding the child's needs, letting go of ego, watching one's words, avoiding threats, and being patient.
