What are the consequences of slapping

Not every parent has enough patience, and children are often naughty and disobedient when they are young, so some parents will beat their children when they get angry. Some parents prefer to spank their children on the buttocks, because there is a lot of flesh on the buttocks and not much will happen if they are spanked hard. However, some parents will slap their children when they get angry. What are the consequences of slapping a child?

1. What are the consequences of slapping a child? Severe cases may lead to deafness

What are the consequences of slapping a child? If the ear is hit when slapping the face, the child's eardrum may be damaged and perforated due to the strong impact. If the eardrum is damaged and the parents don't notice it, the perforated eardrum will allow the middle ear to communicate with the outside world. In addition to causing a certain impact on hearing, it will also lose its protective function. External bacteria, sewage, and foreign objects will enter the middle ear through the perforation, causing infection and pus. If the situation is serious and not treated in time, it will also cause other diseases such as meningitis.

2. How to protect children’s ears from external attacks

Whether it's a slap in the face of a child, or a firecracker suddenly exploding next to a child's ear, or one of the child's ears hitting the water first while swimming, these are all traumatic injuries that cause the eardrum to rupture or perforate, directly leading to hearing loss. So mom, you must remember

1. Prevent ears from being pulled or hit. Do not pull or hit the ears. Pulling the ears or hitting the mouth are harmful to the ears.

2. Do not pick ears. Some mothers like to use ear spoons or hairpins, pins, etc. to pick ears for their babies. This is a bad habit and should be avoided. Never let your baby put beans, small balls or other objects in his ears.

3. Not wearing earrings. Some mothers like to pierce their babies’ ears and let them wear earrings, ear drops and other accessories, which is also harmful to the ears. The skin of the ears is very tender, and if there is a metal object hanging on it, it is easy to tear the ears when playing.

3. Pay attention to the damage of noise to the ears

The harm that noise can cause to the ears should not be underestimated, especially high-decibel noise, which can easily damage children's inner ear cells. In addition, children cannot actively avoid noise like adults, so they are more harmed. Therefore, parents should help their children recognize high-decibel noise in time and teach them the correct way to avoid it, such as opening their mouths, turning their ears to a quiet direction, or temporarily covering the opening of the external auditory canal with their fingers.

In addition, using headphones will also affect hearing. First, the sound produced by headphones is close to the ears, so it generally has a higher decibel level; second, excessive use of headphones will bring strong internal and external pressure to the ears, which is not conducive to the child's ear development.
