The dangers of slapping children

Many parents become overwhelmed with anger when their children are disobedient and resort to beating their children to educate them. Some parents particularly like to use slapping in the face. In fact, slapping children can cause great harm to them. Not only can it easily hurt them, it can also easily cause psychological trauma to them. Moreover, slapping children cannot solve the fundamental problem, but will only make them more and more disobedient. Below is a detailed introduction to the harmful effects of slapping children.

If the child is hit on the ear when being slapped in the face, the eardrum may be damaged and perforated due to the strong impact. If the eardrum is damaged and the parents don't notice it, the perforated eardrum will allow the middle ear to communicate with the outside world. In addition to causing a certain impact on hearing, it will also lose its protective function. External bacteria, sewage, and foreign objects will enter the middle ear through the perforation, causing infection and pus. If the situation is serious and not treated in time, it will also cause other diseases such as meningitis.

I believe everyone knows the principle of "don't expose someone's weaknesses when scolding them, and don't hit someone in the face". Although a child is young, he or she is also a person with an independent personality. Even the child's parents should not insult him or her casually. No matter how young a child is, he or she has his or her own self-esteem. Adults must learn to give children equal respect. Although parents slapping their children in the face in public can make the children "surrender", it will also hurt the children's self-esteem.

So, for the sake of children's dignity and health, please stop beating them. If your child is really disobedient, don't hit him. Try the following method.

1. Cold treatment method. When a child is making unreasonable noise, ignore the child or leave him/her alone. This will prevent the child from establishing a conditioned reflex between his/her noise and the adult's meeting his/her demands.

2. Natural consequences method. For children who like to touch things randomly, parents can let their children touch them as long as it does not cause serious harm, so that the children can experience the harm firsthand. Use an angry expression to tell your child that his behavior is wrong. Seeing an adult's angry expression, many children will stop their wrong behavior
