==== 1. Do we raise our voices because we learned it from our parents? ====

Short answer: yes… but also no… and also biology is quietly smirking at us.

Longer answer (with fewer crystals):
* Yes, it’s learned Children absolutely model behavior. This isn’t mystical attachment theory whispering secrets from the ether; it’s basic observational learning. If a child repeatedly sees: > “When someone doesn’t respond, the volume knob goes up” then congratulations 🎉 — that’s now filed under “how humans work.”
'' But it’s not ''only* parental imitation Raising your voice when ignored is also a primate-level signaling behavior. Louder = more urgent = pay attention or something bad happens. Toddlers didn’t read Marshall Rosenberg. Their nervous systems run on: > “If subtle fails, escalate.”

So yes, parents model it — but they’re also fighting millions of years of evolution armed only with oat milk and good intentions.
