I don't shout at my kids, pretty much ever.

There's also no punishment, no time out, no naughty corner.

They rarely get in trouble with me either.

No punishment, just understanding and explanations.

If they do something that really bothers me I ask myself if I've have ever properly explained to them why that behavior isn't OK.

I once got very angry and shouted at one of my kids and shook my finger at him but it was all an act. He crossed the road without looking and I wanted after a lifetime of me not getting angry, to badly shock him, to really frighten him, to slam home the importance of looking when crossing the road.
