Two common reasons why parents use punishment are to stop aggressive behaviours and none compliance in a child.

Sadly, the use of corporal punishment doesn't change any of these for the long term.

People who have been beaten the most are some of the most aggressive people, and people who get beaten for noncompliance learn avoidance and go all out with the same negative behaviours when they outgrow punishment.

Unfortunately, most of us are locked in the 'punishment trap' and even dare to brag about our prowess because of its immediate reward. It is a circle that will continue if we don't reevaluate our outcomes.

In the meantime, society suffers for many reasons, most of which stem from this DISGUISED practice.

🎯 Our families have raised people who are aggressors because they were raised with aggression.

🎯 Our families have raised people who force other people to act as they want because they were forced to do everything.

🎯 Our families have raised people who do not respect anyone they think is beneath them because we were taught to respect adults and a child's view wasn't respected.

🎯 Out families have raised people who are abusive because they saw us treat our others contemptuously.

Dear parent, your young child and pre-teen are ready to learn skills, please teach and provide every opportunity for them to learn.

What they need is an adult who can reason with them, model the ability to reflect, critically thinking, self-discipline and above all; empathy, problem-solving, self-control and godly principles.

Read the last paragraph again, please 🙏🏻

This is how you raise successful people, who "turn out well"

Don't get it twisted; growth and making progress are not the same thing as being successful.

It takes growth, consistent progress in all areas, sound moral ethics and impact (influence) so you see, not many of us have TURNED OUT RIGHT, YET.
