Question

11．Parents used to rely on physical punishments to control their children's bad behavior，which has been proven to be very harmful．Therefore，most parents now choose to simply yell，thinking that language probably won't hurt as much．But is that really so？
    Using harsh words such as"lazy"or"stupid"is just as harmful as hitting，according to a new study carried out at the University of Pittsburgh，US．"It cannot reduce or correct their problem behavior，"said Professor Ming-Te Wang，leader of the study，in an interview with The Wall Street Journal．"On the contrary，it makes it worse．"
    In the study，which involved 976 two-parent families，researchers asked the kids about their behavior problems，while asking their parents how often they had yelled at them． Nearly half of the parents admitted that they'd shouted at their children in the past year．Researchers noted that the kids whose parents used more harsh words experienced more behavior problems after-wards，including fighting，stealing，lying as well as symptoms of depression．
"Adolescence is a very sensitive period when kids are trying Lo develop their self-identities（个性）．When you yell，it makes them feel they are not capable，and that they are worthless and useless，"Wang said．"This may explain why so many parents say that no matter how loud they shout，their teenagers don't listen．          
While harsh yelling can stop bad behavior in the moment，it doesn't teach children to behave how parents want them to，according to Professor Alan Kazdin of Yale University，US．What parents need is to praise their children for good behavior．If parents really need to punish their kids，they should try things like taking away smartphones and reminding them that good behavior will get themback． After all，"we want to teach kids，not hurt them，"said Kazdin．
