Parents beating and scolding their children: the modern challenge of traditional education methods
In some cultural backgrounds, parents' beating and scolding their children is regarded as a common way of education. However, the research of modern educational psychology and pedagogy shows that this method may have a negative impact on children's growth and development.

Hurt self-esteem and self-confidence

Children who suffer from corporal punishment for a long time may form inferiority complex and lack self-confidence, which will have a negative impact on their performance in school and society.

psychological trauma

Children's mental health may be seriously hurt by parents' corporal punishment, resulting in emotional problems such as anxiety, depression and fear, and even accompanied by adulthood.

Imitate violence

Children will imitate their parents' behavior when they grow up. If they see their parents using violence to solve problems, they may think it is an acceptable behavior.

Tension between parents and children

Frequent corporal punishment may lead to tension between children and their parents, and may even lead to children's aversion and alienation from their parents.

Obstruct effective communication

Corporal punishment often leads to antagonistic feelings, which is not conducive to effective communication and problem solving between the two sides.

An active and effective way of education

Modern education experts suggest adopting more active and effective methods, such as praise, encouragement and setting reasonable rules and boundaries. At the same time, parents need to learn to control their emotions and deal with their children's behavior problems with a calm and rational attitude.
