People in the past say that if children want to grow up in an orderly manner, they need good discipline. However, the conditions are not the same today. Is it the right way to teach a child with a stick, like in the past?
It is normal for any parent to scold and punish their children when they see them doing something wrong. As a parent, we want our children to think right and do good things. We all try our best to make our children good human beings by giving them what they need.
It is our desire that the children do not make any mistakes and always grow up to be obedient. But at many stages, things turn out to be different. When these children show some kind of mistakes and misbehaviour, it is common for all parents to lose their temper and threaten the child in sudden anger.
Our parents may have brought us up with good discipline. We insist our children follow the same pattern. But have you ever wondered if this method is the right one in these changing times? Punishing measures such as caning children, as in the past, may sometimes backfire. Although these methods often give you immediate results, in the long run, it turns out to be harmful.
Many people claim that punishing children makes a parent better. But the fact is that it does not help children much. When it comes to children, we have often moved from being a parent to being a punisher.
Most parents want to tell their children that there are rewards and consequences for good deeds or good behaviour and punishments for bad behaviour. But instilling this kind of mindset from a young age has the potential to do your children more harm than good. Maybe even if you give them mild punishments, it doesn't really help you in many situations. As a parent, you must have the patience and strength to control your sudden outbursts of anger and find out where you went wrong with your child and explain it to them thoroughly.
You should take the initiative to properly communicate and discuss things with your child before attempting to punish them for their misbehaviour.
It's true that many punishments can help your children learn bad behaviour patterns. But many of us don't take into account that such activities often cause damage to our children as well. Such punishments can often have a negative impact on their mental health. This can cause a rift in your child's relationship with you. This can damage your relationship with the child in the long run and make them develop resentment towards you. Instead, talking to your child in an emotional way can help guide them in the right direction and make things more stress-free. Through such talks, children will increase their emotional attachment to you.
