WE often hear parents scolding their children and calling them names in public. Many passers-by would just walk away while some would watch the commotion from a distance. No one would go to the child’s rescue.

We don’t realise that children, especially very young children, are suffering when their parents or guardians repeatedly yell and hurl abusive words at them.

In many households, parents continue to believe that children will get over this emotional hurt when they grow up, and learn something out of this discipline.

The truth is far from this. Today, we live among adults who are emotionally scarred by the threats, name-calling and neglect they experienced as children. The vicious cycle continues when they become parents as they may adopt the same parenting style with their own children.

Unfortunately, we live in a “culture of silence” and choose not to interfere when we see children get yelled at or thrown out of the house as punishment.

Once I witnessed two young children squatting outside their house. They were sobbing uncontrollably. I found out that they were locked out as punishment for disobeying their mother. I voiced out my concern for their safety and well-being.

I loved this post...No child should be struck or abused by name calling. Children learn by example and should be treated with positive reinforcment. Great post..

This post helps a lot of parents in the field of "parenting'.
I agree with you that parents should not shout or say
negative things, as rebuttals to their children's tantrum
or in whatever extreme behavioral concerns. Being
negativist and radical to our children will just create
a barrier towards their emotional maturation. The more
we hurt their feelings causes a deeper sense of self-pity
and self-mistrust. Thanks for this post matt.

great way to teach children to be confident

being locked out as punishment is too much but i think yelling or scolding when you do something wrong is not that bad but the thing is the kids might get used to it and do the same with their kids

This is a good article. I think we all should be aware of what goes on around us and if we see a child being mistreated we need to stand up for that child before its too late. Thanks for the post.

Disciplining a child is an art and science. Many parents still believe that disciplining a child is all about punishing and scolding.

Thanks my friends for your good comments. It's important to be consistent about discipline. If you don't stick to the rules and consequences, kids aren't likely to either.
