A pleasant day, I know that its very hard to teach a child especially if he/she is not paying much attention to what being teach to him/her. And, it is also difficult to be a teacher to your child when you are tired from the days work. Hence, there will be times that, you will be prone to shout towards your son/daughter most especially if he/she is not that attentive in listening to what you are teaching. However, I am thinking, is it justifiable to shout towards your son/daughter when they are not that attentive in listening or is it fine to shout them when they cannot answer or read what has been written on the book, since, the mother was tired so she is already irritated prior in teaching her child. And, the effect of shouting unto the child, he/she will not learn the lesson properly. The child will just answer and listen to the lesson being teach because he/she was afraid that his/her mother will be more angry if he/she does not listen attentively For this reason, I think, it is better to teach a child or do the teaching during weekends, since there are 2 days off during weekends, I think it is quite better to alot a one day for teaching. How about you, do you shout on to the child whenever you are teaching him/her?

It's hard to teach children after a hard working day. I was a tutor part time. So, I know that. If you must teach your children on night everyday, you should teach them when you feel well and comfortable. If not, you can ask you husband/wife for that day. Shouting children when teaching is not good for them. We should avoid this.

I don't think its fine to shout when you teach a child. I got one of my cousin here a month ago because his mom sick. I think we both got too tired thats day because she had PE thats day and so many homework with few stuff need to bring thats day which made a lot of job because we need to search it in the mall and can not find stuff in first mall, at last find it in third mall which already made tired. When we got home we had to finish thats many homework which still so many and seem my cousin can not concentrate because she really tired but I hope she can pull herself to finish his homework with out my help but when I check it she have not made a single one so I yell at her. It first time I yelling at her and seem its not helping her to concentrate but its made feel like a bad person.

It is quite natural that children would be restless and so it should never be expected that they would always pay much attention to their studies. My only daughter is now married but during her childhood neither me nor my hushand shouted at her for her inattentiveness to studies. I think it may have a negative effect.

yelling or shout would only escalate the problem to avoid itm talk to them in a nice way also after they got home from school give them some snack and rest just remind them to do their home work afterwards.
