Why shouting at teenagers makes them worse.
Middle class parents who shout at their teenage children are increasing their risk of depression and troubled behavior.
Even if parents enjoy a close relationship with their son & daughter, harsh verbal discipline was found to have a dramatic impact on their teens emotional development, a study found.
This form of discipline can vary from yelling and shouting at a child, to swearing and using words to humiliate them.
Research found that if parents use such punishment when their child is 13, the teen is more likely to have behavioral or emotional problems later on.
These youngsters tended to suffer more depressive symptoms between ages 13 & 14 than children who were not disciplined in this manner, while they were also more likely to have conduct problems such as misbehaving at school, lying, stealing or fighting.
This is one of the first studies to indicate that parents' harsh verbal discipline is damaging to the developing adolescent.
The notion that harsh discipline is without consequence, once there is a strong parent - child bond - that the adolescent will that 'they're doing this because they love me' is misguided because parents' warmth didn't lessen the effects of harsh verbal discipline.
'indeed, harsh verbal discipline appears to be detrimental in all circumstances.'
