Today’s post is not for everybody 😊
However it’s an important topic, because as parents our response to our children’s behavior will have a long term effect on them.
When it comes to correcting your child’s misbehavior, there’s a big difference between punishment and discipline. While punishment focuses on making a child suffer for breaking the rules, discipline is about teaching him how to make a better choice next time.
Punishment may be physical as in smacking, hitting, or causing pain. It may be psychological as in disapproval, isolation, or shaming.
When a child misbehaves hitting them is not the answer,
Hitting a child shows that you have lost control, it also teaches your child that physical abuse is ok.
So when your child hits another child, do you then hit your child for hitting another child? See what happens?!
If you show an interest in your child and engage with them and listen to them as well as show them love and care, you won’t need to discipline them. A naughty child is a sign that their needs are not being met.
If you want to raise an emotionally strong child we need to try to be intentional about how we parents them.
DO NOT HIT CHILDREN! YOU HAVE LOST CONTROL WHEN YOU DO THIS!
When we know better we must do better 🙏🏾🩵🩵
