Parenting: The Challenge

There are so many other ways to discipline children without hitting.  More often than not hitting a child will lead them into hitting others. Hitting only reinforces, violence and doesn’t teach them anything except, fear, shame and anger. Children learn from their parents for the most part, being kind and firm with your discipline will teach them what is appropriate behavior without shaming them or making them wrong. Just think about being a small child and someone a lot bigger than you hurting you. That’s not what we need to teach our children.
