Teach or punish?

Question

Answer

Hmm, if a murderer kills 30 people, and doesn't know how to respect human life, do we teach or punish?

Answer

My children have never done a single thing that has made me want to inflict any pain or fear into them. I do not have to hurt to teach. ❤

Answer

If we're talking about what I think we're talking about... I absolutely agree. I am strongly against using any form of physical force as a method for discipline. It fails to teach and endangers the health and safety of a child. There are countless studies that show again and again how ineffective, harmful, and counterproductive using force to discipline is. It is unacceptable that people continue to use these methods to correct behavior. I understand all children are different and what works for one child may not work for another, but disciplining a child with force should not ever be used it has so many negative effects especially on the mental health of a child.

Answer

Absolutely teach. This is a great post. I don't agree with harsh discipline or spanking. It has horrible effects and I would never risk that with my children.

Answer

Honestly, I don't know if I'm going to spank my children. However it would never be a hard one, it'd be like if we were in public and I'd tap them on the Butt as a "you're out of line". I used to babysit a girl who's parents would do that if she was having a tantrum. I was spanked as a child.... and it was a surprise, and I behaved immediately.

But you have to teach even if you're going to spank. I'd probably just lightly tap them on the butt then tell them what they did wrong and tell them why it was wrong 🤷🏼‍♀️ but I don't have kids so what do I know?

Answer

If my child is misbehaving, let's say we are at a grocery store. I have already told my kids many many times, you are to have quite in door voices, you are to not ask for anything, fight, or run off. I will tell them this on the way to the store when we get to the store. Note, my kids are 14,8,5 old enough to know what I just told them. Mind you I take them shopping once a week they have been taught... so when one steps out of line and thinks she needs to throw a fit over the fact I didn't buy a cereal or candy she wanted sure as shit she is getting punished for her bad behavior. Now yes the 5yr old gets a little more leeway than the other two cause is is younger and still learning. You can teach but after they know better then there needs to be consequences to there actions. And that right there is another learning lesson. If you grow up to not learn that there are consequences to your actions how are you going to function great as an adult when you wasn't taught that??

Answer

Wait who stumbles answering that question? Why wouldn't you teach?

Answer

A mistake should be an opportunity to learn. A punishment should be a learning experience. I don't have any violence in my home.

Answer

My brother in law and his wife scream and yell at their kids all the time, the oldest is only 2 and the other is turning 1 in June. It pisses me off so bad because they'll do something so little like maybe pick something up their mot supposed to and their mother will full on scream at him instead of explaining why he can't have the object. It really drives me insane and just reminds me how much better of a parent I'm going to be! Lol
