A scientific way to punish children?

Children are naughty by nature, but sometimes when children make mistakes, parents mostly educate them by beating and scolding them in order to teach them a lesson. Sometimes this method will make children rebellious. Some parents blindly give in and indulge their children. In fact, these are unscientific ways of punishing children. So what is the scientific way to punish children?

How to punish a child correctly?

1. Standing in the corner

Most children will realize their mistakes after making them, and feel scared and guilty inside, but they often do not have the courage to directly admit their mistakes. They just cry and hope to get sympathy and comfort from their parents. When encountering this situation, parents must not be soft-hearted just because their children cry pitifully. Your concession will not help your children face their mistakes correctly, and it will also be detrimental to the formation of their healthy personality. A more sensible approach at this time is for parents to set up a punishment station for their children. You can choose a fixed location and let the children think calmly about their mistakes. Never ignore the punishment education of children just because they are begging for mercy.

2. Confiscate your child’s favorite things

When some children encounter things that do not meet their wishes or make them unhappy, they tend to act unreasonably, throw things around and lose their temper. At this time, simply preaching by parents will not work for the children. Instead, it will have the opposite effect, and the children will cry even harder. Experienced parents will know that at this time they need to let the child’s emotions calm down first and let the child understand the mistake of his crying behavior. Faced with this situation, parents can quietly walk to the child, confiscate the child's favorite things as a punishment, and seriously tell the child to stop crying, otherwise they will be punished. They should ask the child to tell their mistakes and why parents are angry, as well as their opinions on the punishment from parents, and make the child deeply aware of their mistakes.

3. Read picture books

When their children make mistakes, some parents tend to use intense emotions and serious words to deal with their children. This is very unwise and will only make the children more resistant and have more rebellious ideas. Sometimes they will even slam the door and leave in anger with their parents. Yelling and scolding as a way of education can be said to be the most unreliable method, which will invisibly harm the child's physical and mental health. This is when a third party intervenes. Parents can prepare some interesting children's picture books, so that children can understand some truths in life by reading the warm and interesting stories in the children's picture books. It is also a good way to transfer emotions. After reading, ask the children about their inner thoughts, communicate in time, and educate them in time.

4. Listen patiently to your child’s explanation

When children make mistakes, parents must ask more "why" questions to understand their children's motivations for making mistakes. Sometimes, children may do something wrong accidentally with good intentions, or they may want to attract their parents' attention. At this time, asking children more reasons can help you understand them better. Giving children a chance to explain is very important.

5. Role swap

Many times, parents complain that their children do not understand their good intentions, but I think most parents do not have the right method. They can switch roles with their children and let them experience the situation of facing a "naughty child" who makes mistakes. This will help children understand their parents' difficulties and promote communication between parents and children.
