Can I hit my child if he or she disobeys me?

1, do not hit children within 2 years old and after 6 years old. Children before the age of 2 years old due to immature mental development, the lack of awareness of rules is normal. Hitting the child for the child, there is no warning effect, but will affect the child’s psychological development. As the child grows older, the child’s self-awareness is gradually improved, and the sense of self-esteem is getting stronger. 6 years old is the age of reasoning. This is the time when parents need to communicate with their children in a reasonable way to avoid the negative effects of scolding in their children’s hearts. 2. Try to control yourself from hitting your child. When a child makes a mistake, parents should not rush to hit the child, because impulsively hitting the child, the effect is often counterproductive. This time, you can tell your child how you feel at the moment, so that your child knows that you are not happy with his behavior just now. For example, tell your child, “I’m in a bad mood!” “I’m not happy that you did that!” “I don’t like it when you’re rude!” “Your behavior makes me sad!” etc. Describing your mental feelings helps to calm your emotions and also helps to put the child in the parent’s shoes, thus promoting reflection. 3. Punish your child with natural consequences. If you’re not sure what you’re looking for, you can use your own personalized approach. For young children, parents can also show their children specific ways to correct mistakes and guide them to make up for them. For example, if you spill milk, you can’t drink the milk. At the same time, the child needs to clean up the milk on the table by himself/herself. This will not only let the child understand what the consequences of his or her mistakes may lead to, but also enable the child to repent in the process of bearing the consequences, which will help prevent the child from making similar mistakes again. 4. Punish your child in an indirect way. If the child’s fault is small, parents can not pursue the child’s mistakes have occurred, but through the child to make a wink, his actions to limit, withhold his favorite things, limit his entertainment time and other indirect punishment means and ways to let the child remember this lesson. For example, if the toys are not tidied up, the cartoon time will be cancelled. Of course, it is also advisable for parents to make clear requirements for the child’s future behavior, what the child should do and what requirements or standards to meet, indicating expectations for the child’s next behavior. For example, if you take the initiative to clean up the toys each time, you can increase the time to watch cartoons. 5. Don’t get emotional when hitting your child. If there is a situation where you have to hit your child, for example, when repeated advice does not work and the child still keeps fussing and affecting his or her own safety, the people around him or her and the environment around him or her, parents should first stabilize their emotions and calmly face their child’s problems. This is because hitting your child when you are in an emotional state will not only fail to point out your child’s mistakes, but will also embarrass your child, thus causing damage to his or her mind. At this time, the child, because the focus is on the parents’ intense emotions, often will not think that they are at fault, only that they are a bad child.
