To discipline your kids, yelling at them is not going to help. Kids tend to tune out someone with anger. The only one you are hurting by yelling is your self.
The child tends to get scared when there is yelling and usually makes the situation worse. The child doesn't respond to yelling because his/her mind goes into emotional mode in order to withstand the yelling. When your child listens to you yell, it is hard for him/her to protect themselves emotionally and listen to you at the same time, so they tend to retreat inside themselves in order to protect themselves or they will yell back out of defense.
It's hard to punish your child for yelling at you when you are yelling at them. Your child doesn't hear what you say when you are yelling and can cause emotional stress, low self-esteem, and anger problems when growing up.
If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the mystery of the world we live in. ~ Rachel Carson
