you cannot reason with a toddler. they don’t understand. i’ve been hanging out with three year old twins for the past 5 days and trust me, sometimes you DO need to raise your voice and first+middle name them when they start smacking the shit out of the dog.
sure, but that still doesnt entitle you to raising your voice at a child. that child still deserves to be taught how to regulate their emotions rather than have their outburst cruelly dismissed
