Why The Tone Of Your Voice Towards Your Parents is So Important

People should watch the tone of voice they use for their parents and other elders because the way that you speak with them is a way of respect. If you speak annoyingly, harshly, impatiently, or Know-It-All to your parents your voice says that you have no respect for them and that they are in our way; even if we don't mean them to think that. Because of speaking disrespectfully kids have gotten bad and/or distant relationships with their parents and have spent their days full of shouting, unhappiness, and being grounded. Parents feel just as punished as we do when we speak disrespectfully, it makes them think that they have been bad parents and they wonder what they have done wrong when they haven't done anything. When we speak respectfully we show our parents how muck we love them and that we care about what they say. If we do, the outcome will be that we are closer with your parents and that we will have a happier family.
