Punishment can never be the solution!

In many situations, parents feel that they should punish their child to make them realize the value of things and people in life. But we often fail to notice the fact that when we punish our child physically, he or she starts going away from us. He or she starts feeling that whatever he or she does it ends up in punishment and that too the physical punishment. What is the use when they feel alone when you punish them physically? When you punish them physically, it leaves them thinking that you are a bad parent.

    Then you would think that, how can one inculcate good habits in kids? The answer is here. You can behave the way you want your child to be. You can set good examples before them. You can use your words strongly. You can make them realize that, ‘when my mother says no that means no.’ But for this, you need to inculcate the feeling of being secured and cared in your child. Child should never feel that if something is being told then, it could be for keeping them away from the things they want to do.

   You could recite stories of Shravan baal, Krishna, Rama with the moral, and make them realize the fact that whatever they are being told is for their welfare. Kids are like mud. It is in your hands to develop them. It’s your responsibility as a parent to inculcate good habits in them. If you succeed in doing this, you would be a successful parent. For this, you don’t need to take help of any physical punishment. Your words and moderate actions are enough! It helps to develop better individuals for tomorrow.
