Why would a mother constantly yell and argue with her daughter & try to ruin her self esteem?

Similar questions: mother constantly yell argue daughter ruin esteem.

Perhaps the mother wants the girl to behave. I suspect they have a difference of opinion on how the daughter should be.

I suspect the child is at fault here. Generally, mothers have a lot more life experience and know more about life than the daughter does, regardless of what the child thinks she knows. If this is an adult child, then she needs live her own life and not worry about what the mother wants, especially if yellow blouses at the dollar store are involved.

This sounds like a disciplinary problem. There are better ways to get a daughter's attention than screaming at her. She should sit her down and explain her point of view and why it's good for her...pros and cons.

Yelling accomplishes nothing except to make the child want to do the opposite. You failed to tell us the age we are talking about; that makes a great deal of difference in what you are dealing with.

There has to be much more detail to this story before any of us can make a comment or give advice.

Very commonly the parent did not learn effective parenting skills from HER mother - but it can also be aggravated by frustration at a daughter who consistently acts out. Without having a full view of what is going on it is hard for an outsider to make any sort of assessment as to who is suffering a breakdown in relationship skills.

The daughter may remind her of herself/other family tree that bothers her. The mom has low self esteem and may not know how to parent. You can't make a person better by criticizing...only by seeing the best in them and praising and helping in other ways.

Mom may not feel well...burned out adrenals maybe.

Thank you Shasha. Your answer seems more accurate. This is not an issue of discipline.

This is someone I know whose mother never treated them with love or patience, only yelling at them and blaming them for everything. Constantly criticizing her since she was born. Ally 5 days ago .

That's probably what her mother did with her and just because it's not right, show doesn't know any different.

I don't think the mother is trying to ruin her daughter's self esteem, but ruining it she is. It is likely the mother knows only too well how it feels to be treated this way and is repeating learned behavior from her own parents. Hypnotherapy by a qualified hypnotherapist can "rewrite" the script from old behaviors, repair the mom's self esteem and empower her to change the way she feels when parenting her own child.

Hypnotherapy for the child can repair damage to her self esteem. Check out hypnosisforkidsandteens.com for more information. Com.

Is there anything I can do about the other soccer parents (from my daughter's team) who constantly yell during games.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
