Every time there’s a post about spanking all I can think of is that time my aunt smacked her kid on the wrist for hitting his sister.
She literally smacked him and said “don’t hit people.” I wanted to say something but I was honestly too in shock and all I could think was did you just
okay so because i literally have to EXPLAIN why hitting your child is wrong, here we go:
it causes pain to the child
it teaches the child that those who love you will hurt you if it’s for ‘your own good’, normalizing abusive that could later end up in being in an abusive relationship, and even in some cases abusing others.
teaching your child to fear you is not teaching them right from wrong.
there are countless other ways to reprimand your child without harming them.
it is emotionally damaging as well as physically damaging.
the kid can grow to fear adults and authority figures in general.
the mindset that violence is okay
you are HURTING your child.
im so tired of people trying to defend their abuse by saying they are doing it with ‘best interest’ or that it’s ‘discipline’
