Is hitting your child right?

Child’s self image begins with how others perceive him, specially his parents. The discipline techniques you apply with your kids are the one they will carry on in their own parenting.

Slapping hands, spanking, physical and emotional hitting devalue the child and make him feel worthless.

Studies show that children who have been spanked are more likely to develop depression, low-self esteem, and accept lower paying jobs.

Hitting your children may stop their bad behavior but will damage them, and your relationship with them in the long run. Parents, there’s always an alternative to spanking/hitting.

If you feel devastated and you can’t control yourself anymore, take some time to calm down before you take actions, take few deep breath or talk to a friend about how you feel.
