Why can't children be spanked? Spanking may not only cause physical harm to children, but may also affect their IQ and mental health.

1. Spanking too hard may harm the child

When parents spank their children, they may use too much force, which may cause local hematoma in the child's gluteal muscles, poor blood circulation, and necrotizing inflammation; it may also bruise the child's sciatic nerve, causing numbness of the lower limbs or even paralysis.

The kidneys are very close to the child's buttocks. If parents spank their child at a higher position, it may damage the child's kidneys.

The human brain tissue is located in the cranial cavity, and the skull is connected to the human spine through the atlanto-occipital joint. If parents hit their children too hard, the child's buttocks will be suddenly hit and the shock can be transmitted through the spine to the atlanto-occipital joint, possibly causing skull deformation and brain damage.

Can I spank my baby if he doesn't listen?

1. Try to control yourself and don’t hit your children

Not beating children should be an ideal state.

When children make mistakes, parents should not rush to beat them, because beating them impulsively will often have the opposite effect. At this time, you can tell your child how you feel at the moment and let him know that you are dissatisfied with his behavior just now. For example, tell your child "I am in a bad mood now!" "I am very dissatisfied with your behavior!" "I don't like your rudeness!" "Your behavior makes me sad!" etc. Describing your own psychological feelings can help calm your own emotions and also help children think about problems from the perspective of their parents, thereby promoting children's reflection.

2. Punish your child with natural consequences

When a child makes a mistake, there is no need to criticize him or her too much. Let the child bear the consequences of his or her own mistakes or behaviors. For young children, parents can also tell them specific methods to correct their mistakes and guide them to make up for their mistakes themselves. For example, if milk is spilled, you can’t drink the milk. At the same time, the child also needs to clean up the milk on the table by himself.

This will not only help children understand the possible consequences of their mistakes, but also enable them to repent in the process of bearing the consequences, which will help prevent them from making the same mistakes again.

3. Punish your child indirectly

If the child's fault is not serious, parents can choose not to pursue the mistake too much, but instead use indirect punishment methods such as giving the child a look, restricting his actions, withholding his favorite things, limiting his entertainment time, etc., to make the child remember the lesson. For example, if the toys are not put away, the time for watching cartoons will be cancelled.

Of course, it is best for parents to make clear requirements for their children's future behavior, what the children should do and what requirements or standards they should meet, and express their expectations for their children's next behavior. For example, if you take the initiative to put away your toys every time, you can increase the time you spend watching cartoons.

4. Don’t be emotional when spanking your child

If there is a situation where you have to beat your child, for example, when repeated persuasion is ineffective and the child continues to make trouble and affects his or her own safety, the people around him or her, and the surrounding environment, parents should first stabilize their emotions and face the child's problem calmly. Because beating a child when you are emotionally excited will not only fail to point out the child's mistakes, but will also make the child feel embarrassed, thus causing harm to the child's heart. At this time, children, because they focus on their parents' intense emotions, often do not think that they are wrong, but only think that they are bad children.
