“With ignorance we fall into slavery, with education we can attain freedom,” Diego Luus de Córdoba once said. However, children’s education has nothing to do with taxes and screaming, in fact, screaming can cause significant brain damage.
Screaming education has no benefit to children, or at least that’s what some studies show. Behind many of these cries lies the inability of parents to transmit the information they want. Screaming is a release of energy and does not convey the message that parents have. I want to impose children.
“Tell me and I forget it, show me and I remember it, get involved and learn. ” – Benjamin Franklin-
Some authors, like Aaron James, say that shouting no longer gives you reason or gives you an edge in an argument, as confirmed by his studies, even referring to current U. S. President Donald Trump. If we want to be right, shouting won’t help us at all, on the contrary, we should argue instead of raising our voices.
Screams often appear when someone loses control, so the emotional state interferes with the expression of the message distorting information, if it is complicated for adults, imagine for children, screaming has a devastating effect on the child’s brain.
According to a new study by the University of Pittsburgh, it has been concluded that these screams, especially when broadcast regularly, affect the child’s brain and pose a number of risks to the child’s psychological development.
In other words, people who choose to shout, to lead or scold, increase the risk we talked about earlier. In fact, because of screams, children develop aggressive or defensive behaviors.
The study was conducted with 1,000 families with children from one to two years old and researchers found that children living with parents who used crying to educate them developed depressive symptoms and behavioral problems in adolescence, starting at age 13 and 14.
In fact, they have concluded that crying does not minimize problems, but aggravates them; for example, when it comes to disobedience, parents who care for their children are able to greatly minimize these kinds of behaviors.
In fact, many studies have been conducted on this subject, the prestigious Harvard School of Medicine, through studies conducted by the Department of Psychiatry, states that verbal abuse, screaming, humiliation or the combination of the three elements permanently alter the child’s brain structure.
After analyzing more than 50 children with psychiatric disorders caused by family problems and comparing them to nearly 100 healthy children, the researchers made an alarming discovery: they realized that there was a severe reduction of the callous body, that is, in the part connecting the two brain hemispheres.
Thus, with less integrated brain halves, personality and mood changes are more pronounced, compromising emotional stability. Another consequence of this diminished connectivity is the dispersion of attention.
It is true that children can drive us crazy, but shouting is not the answer, however angry we are, so as not to fall into this temptation we can use some of the following strategies:
“We cannot shape our children according to our desires, we must be with them and love them as God has given us. “- Goethe-
We now know the damage that frequent screams can cause to a child’s brain, so it’s up to us, as responsible adults, to find alternative solutions to properly educate without damaging children’s brains.
