What I know is that I will never beat my children the way my mom beat's me, even though I truly deserve it

opparadise:
There are numerous punitive measures parents may take on their children.

Personally, I don't subscribe to hitting them lest your objective of correction may really not be ascertained but don't you spare the rod still. Hitting a child actually doesn't change anything; it only makes them hell-bent and hardened, or even, injurious to their health.
.
They could be grounded for couple of days; a good child who yearn to be good will stick to corrections.
.
I believe, a parent should from their infancy model them in the right path of life and teach them about the 'Eden and Eve' life as at when due. Umpteen times, a large number of parents neglect this.

Who grounding epp?

I'm an advocate to factory resetting flogging, but the flogging should go hand in hand with counseling. You flog in part, counsel in part. You should also know where to draw the line when using the cane. So many of us were abused as kids so we see excessive flogging as discipline.

There's a difference between disciplinary flogging and downright abuse. Finding the thin line is where it becomes dicey.

Chubhie:
Flogging is outdated. Teach them cause and effects and the importance of learning from their mistakes. It's always okay to make mistakes. The highest punishment I give is to make em write I am sorry in 500 words or more

I don't think i can ever beat my children, I'd rather look for other ways to punish them for any wrong doing.

4-6 good strokes of the Cain will not kee them..
Some children nor Dea hear word..
If u fail to follow up on them, in the later stages of their lives, na u go suffer am..

tintingz:
Flogging doesn't do anything infact it causes more psychological effect on children.

tintingz:
If you flog a child everytime he misbehave it will get to a point he will get use to it. Taking something precious away from them for days or months will make them behave well for a long time. You can also punish them by giving them home assignments to do.

Guest007:


I agree, I don't think it's productive, the child learns nothing but violence. Sometimes, we lose golden moments to teach; compassion, respect, and values, instead treating them without respecting, value, and scare tactics to teach them about...

We can all see the little girl(miss success) behavior when she was sent away from school, we can see the effect of child abuse on her.

Guest007:


I'm not following miss success?

Uyi168:
..
Punishments come in different forms..
U are on point with giving them some assignments to do..

UyaiIncomparabl:
I don't flog/whip my kids and they're very normal and obedient. When they misbehave, I threaten to hit their heads on the wall or knock them hard and they behave. Who'll love for his head to be dealt with anyway.
