How does lack of discipline affect a child?

Unnecessary harshness on children destroys their personality

By Early childhood training and learningPublished 4 years ago 3 min read

This is a controversial topic, but there is a growing consensus that harshness on children, especially when it is not necessary, can have disastrous consequences. The effect of harshness on children can be seen in two ways: as a psychological injury and as a social injury.

As a psychological injury, harshness can cause children to develop insecure attachments, which can lead to problems in later life. It can also cause them to have low self-esteem and problems with trust. As a social injury, harshness can lead to children developing aggressive or violent behaviors. They may also lash out at others out of frustration or anger. In both cases, these negative behaviors can have long-term consequences for the children's well-being.

It is true that harshness on children - whether it's verbal or physical - can have a negative impact on their personality development. In fact, this type of treatment can cause them to exhibit less empathy, anger, and cruelty. They may also become more independent and oppositional, which can lead to problems in relationships later on in life.

Additionally, harshness on children often leads to them developing negative self-images. They may start to believe that they are not worth loving or being loved for and that they are not capable of managing relationships effectively. These negative thoughts can persist into adulthood and can lead to problems in both personal and professional life.

While it may be difficult to change our parenting style overnight, all it takes is a little bit of effort on our part to see the long-term benefits of being gentle and loving with our children.

How beautiful a butterfly is ... The combination of different colors makes it so beautiful, the flowers are so cute ... How nice is the fragrance of flowers ...

Roses and pearls ...

I also like butterflies and flowers very much ... I caught a butterfly and it was very difficult to fly every time and I couldn't catch it.

Finally, I grabbed a butterfly and closed my fist tightly so that it would not fly away again because I like butterflies so I want to prove my love by keeping this butterfly with me.

I love flowers I always want to have them So I picked some flowers and put them in my room ...

Now my two favorite things are flowers and butterflies ... I'm very happy...

But this butterfly died in a few moments by suffocating in my closed fist ... And flowers ... The flowers also withered and deteriorated after a few days

End of story

Now implement this story in your life ...

As a parent, you want your child to be in your fist like a butterfly, to do what you want, you say, to become your slave. This is also a kind of slavery so that your child does not do anything of his own free will, just like a robot, just obey you and do what you want.

Here the child did his own thing and there the child was labeled rude, stubborn, and did not know what ...

And then those kids get trapped in your fist and lose all their colors ...

Because they are not butterflies, they live, but how many abilities, how many dreams, how many desires die inside them.

They lose their self-confidence and the children wither like flowers in my room.

And when they wither and lose all their joy, happiness, mischief, and color, then obviously parents can't throw their children away but then the method of complaint changes.

My child is at the back, my child does not talk to anyone, my child does not share anything with me, my child is not interested in anything, it does not make friends, it does not talk, confidence in it does not have... Etc. etc.

And again, this would mean that you have to spend on these processes.

* Let the children be children, let them explore, the children * will also show tantrums, the children have been stubborn, the children have failed, the children have lost, they have fallen, they will fight and they will play, sometimes they have screamed Even though they were shouted at, they were told to cry and sometimes they started laughing at each other. * Don't make the mistake of making them robots ... *

Let them fill your world and your life with colors. Don't fill their canvas with your colors ...
