gahdamnpunk:Honestly!!! This is just psychological trauma in the makingAll of those actions have consequences. Learning those consequences as a child is good and healthy. There’s absolutely no need to add punishment. So your kid spilled something? The consequence is a mess. If they’re old enough to help clean it up, they’re old enough to learn that consequence - and that’s it. They don’t need to be yelled at or smacked. Show them how to clean it up and ask them to help you. They broke something? Now they can’t use it anymore. That’s all the consequence that they need to learn. That’s enough to teach them that they should be careful and treat things with respect. If you’re yelling at your child the only thing they will learn is that if they make mistakes then you get mad. So they’ll either hide their mistakes or go to extreme lengths to not make mistakes out of fear of making you mad. That’s not healthy. It does more harm than good. -- source link
