Children are not supposed to be born with the understanding of the world. They are like a blank slate in the hands of their parents. It is the moral responsibility of the parents to teach their children the difference between right and wrong. Along the way, children tend to behave obnoxiously, but parents have to patiently handle their kids and explain them the consequences of good and bad. In order to discipline the kids, sometimes parents need to be stern with warnings and time outs, but not using unsympathetic ways of punishments such as beating or hurting. Although it takes time, it is possible to train the toughest child to behave appropriately if handled with love and affection. However when parents expect good behavior out of the child without any inputs from their side, they lose patience and treat children badly. Parents push children when their expectations over ride practical reality. That is when parents lose temper and hurt their children. Since children are naïve and weak they succumb to the ruthless punishments of their parents. Abusive parents cause a permanent damage to the child’s physical and emotional balance
If we as parents empathize with our kids and identify the issues children are going through we can discipline them wisely. After all, every man was a child one day.
