Discipline Without Yelling and Spanking2009.10.03. // Family, Kids
Some parents seem enjoying when they are dishing out discipline on their kids. But it should not be like that. You might be surprise to know the attitudes of some kids towards the discipline approaches for them.
If you have to discipline your kids, your kids want to know what they did wrong that caused you to punish them. Therefore, they will not do the same thing that made you react negatively. The common mistake from parents when imposing discipline to their kids is that they assume that their kids understand what they did wrong. Most parents thought there is no need for explanation why you need to discipline them. But yelling and spanking without lesson learned is nothing but an abuse.
Most kids lack short term memory which makes them doing the wrong things over and over again. They usually not remember the things they did that get you react negatively. Kids need to understand why they are being punished. Kids think that it is the parent’s responsibility to explain to them why they are being punished. Kids need to know their boundaries. And as parents, we should be able to tell them the reasons why they are being punished, other wise, lesson will not be learned.
