I'll be honest with you, I try not to yell at my daughter. Had all my early years with it done to me and it helps in absolutely no way.
Yes I have, never makes me proud as a parent, it does happen, not often and I totally hate that it does.
nothing constructive comes out of it, never has never will. In most adults eyes it makes the adult that's yelling look
very bad. My dd accepts criticism without a problem and uses it to improve, she does not accept being screamed at and treated as less than a person. Her pitching coach told her on the first lesson he would never yell, never curse and he expected the same from her.
his words to her were "everything has a cause as to why it happened, yelling does not fix this cause, discussion of the
problem and practice will fix it". In the few months she has been with him, he has proven his methods true and she has made rapid improvement in her pitching. This methodology is true whether it's a hung curve, a dropped fly or a muffed grounder.
in case you've never heard the old saying it goes like this.....you can catch more flies with honey than with sh#t.
by the way it's entirely true.
I'd rather treat my dd and her team mates as people, than make them think the way to get ahead in the world is to go off on people.....
