Being a seventeen year old daughter, Iron fists are not good things to experience. When I was a kid, my father and mother somehow have hurt me in physical abuse. An iron fist is a famous disciplinary way for children. But really after all the pain, how are you so sure we or the children will not do the wrong action we have done? That is why I say no to verbal or physical abuse.
Hitting a kid does not make him or her forget the action that he or she has done, it will just teach that kid that her or his parents will hurt him if he or she does it again. A kid can do wrong things and try to fight the pain that he encounters with his parents. It will not necessarily result to change. Verbal or physical abuse may just draw the kid farther to his parents. There are better ways to discipline sons and daughters like having conversations with them, making them understand the parent’s side and showing them that you just want them to become better persons of the society. Love and care are essential in bringing forth a child into this world; therefore love and care are what parents need to maintain the goodness in a child’s mind.
I am not questioning a parent’s way of teaching. I am just saying my opinion as a daughter. Christ was never a fan of violence so we, human should not use violence in order to correct one wrong act. He never wanted us to hurt each other, He wants us to love each other and help each other become good disciples in the best way that we can be. A parent’s love is the first love that a child will encounter therefore it must be filled with love and care, not any kind of abuse.
