My policy about kids is to never shout unless it's to protect life and limb. If they are about to feed the dog a chocolate bar or walk across the street into traffic then shout away. Same with my animals. If you shout about everything then they will just learn to ignore you when you yell. Worse than that, they will learn to shout when they are upset too. Then you just end up as two people screaming at each other and nothing is accomplished.
