Why do we spank our kids when we would never hit an adult for something? And keep in mind, we’re hitting these kids for WAAAY less severe reasons than something you’d hit an adult for.
“I was spanked and I came out fine!” Did you really, though? And was it really okay, just because it was normal back then? I was never spanked as a kid, and I am still not being spanked, but I’m not some trouble making demon (not saying it’d be an issue if any kid was,
but still). Maybe you should check yourself and your parenting. 🤷
How can you look at your child sobbing and crying while you hit them for the slightest mistake and think THIS is discipline? Or how it’s only okay if you label it as discipline simply because they did something ‘bad.’ If they weren’t acting up, you definitely wouldn’t be calling it discipline. So what makes THIS discipline? Honestly disgusting. The psychological effects things like these can have on your kids is crazy.
Think about it as a dog (not saying kids are dogs, but, nothing is wrong with being compared to a dog. we like dogs around here). If you hit a kid (and a dog) after they do something you perceive as bad without telling them why it was wrong, the only thing they’re getting from that is “my parent hits me everytime I do this, so now I should be afraid of them and walk on eggshells continuously. (but I still do not get why this thing is bad, only that it IS bad and I will suffer the consequences if I do it)”
Babe, your kids are afraid of you. They don’t respect you, they’re terrified of you. Your kids went no-contact with you because you failed as a parent.
