Disciplining Children

by: Kim Isip

I think parents should have an important role in the life of their children. They are their role models since they are the ones who raised them, so it is very important that they know how to behave their own children. Its normal to be strict to children at times, but they shouldn’t show harsh treatments like hurting or shouting improper words. This, the child may think that he or she is unloved and plus, studies show that children do what they see and we don’t want them to spank and say immoral words. Yes, parents should be strict sometimes and they don’t have to worry that this may cause their child to become a “rebel” this will only happen if you lack in giving love and affection to your child. Parents should appreciate the kids when they have some achievements even if the achievement is small because then they know that that is the kind of attitude you want to see in them, but if a child has done something wrong, then that is the time a parent should be strict. There is no need to be harsh, parents need only to remind them of the rules and that what they have done is wrong. If parents know how to balance being strict and not, then it will surely give out good results.
