When I was much younger than this, I always feel good carrying people younger than me especially new born babies. And I’d say to myself that I will make my baby enjoy the best things of life and never beat the child even though the child does something wrong. The last thing I was ever going to do to my child was shout or yell at him or her.
Does that really work? It could have but not in this world any longer and I am much younger and I once worked as a teacher so I know how hard training kids may be.
What do you think is the best way to correct a child? Is it corporal punishment or through word of mouth ? Which do you think is most effective and why?
Firstly, I am not a white woman and I heard that white people don’t beat kids. I’m an African to the core and if my child does something wrong, I will definitely spank my child.
Parenthood isn’t all about shouting at a child, making them scared or me or try to make them feel bad whenever they make mistakes. Kids can be silly and no one is above mistake as well.
It’s not everything a child does for me I will beat them for. There are times when a child should be scolded with the words of the mouth, times when the child should be beaten and even times when we should look away when he does something wrong. When we talk, beat or shout all the time, the child tends to be able to predict what we will do when he does something wrong.
I could have said that a particular way is the best way to train or correct a child when he or she makes mistakes but let’s be sincere. Would you like it when someone beats you for everything? Now, if we beat our kids for everything, they begin to have more fear in us and that way, they would not open up to tell us some particular things going on in their lives.
I know you might be thinking that there is nothing kids should think or worry about because they are still little and there is no much pressure on them about life but we are in a more civilized world now.
A lot of kids suffer from situations like molestation and so much more so we should not always beat or scold them for what happens.
We should bring them closer to us as kids and make them our best friends so we can know what is going on in their lives.
There is no one way when it comes to correcting or training a child. It depends on the parent’s action and also the gravity of what the child did.
When we scold them all the time, they get scared of us more and more.
