I've heard people wonder how Deaf parents manage discipline without shouting across a room.
The question assumes discipline depends on volume.
In our home, it's about consistency, boundaries, routines and clear expectations.
Attention, guidance and follow-through matter far more to me than raising my voice.
Being Deaf has never stopped me from teaching my children right from wrong.
It has simply shaped the way those lessons are communicated.
REFLECTIVE QUESTION
What gets overlooked when discipline is judged by how loudly a parent can speak?
