What to do if the child's buttocks are swollen after being spanked

When a child's buttocks is spanked, soft tissue is damaged, causing local pain and swelling. It is recommended to apply some ointment or spray to the child, and take some anti-inflammatory drugs. Although the skin is not broken, the swelling indicates subcutaneous blood stasis. If the beating is severe and covers a large area, subcutaneous hematoma will form. The pain will be more severe and difficult to eliminate in a short time.

What should we pay attention to when spanking children?

1. You should only consider beating your child when he or she has made a mistake and no amount of reasoning with him or her is working. Remember not to do it too often, otherwise beating will become ineffective.

2. When beating a child, you must know when to stop and pay attention to the severity and location of the hit. It is enough to hit the skin and flesh until it feels a certain amount of pain. Never overdo it and do not use whips, sticks, etc. to prevent accidental injuries. When spanking is unavoidable, a few hits on the palms or light pats on the buttocks will be sufficient. This achieves the purpose of painful punishment while being relatively safe.

3. Both parents must cooperate with each other tacitly. Don’t let only one parent beat the child while the other protects him, and don’t let both parents be harsh on the child. Otherwise, the child will feel that both parents don’t love him. At least one parent should understand and know the child to guide him from his wrong behavior.

If a child's buttocks are swollen after being spanked, it is necessary to reduce the swelling and take the child to the hospital for examination to prevent hitting some nerves and affecting the child's body. When spanking a child, you must be careful not to spank the child too hard because you are angry. It is not certain that spanking will help the child. The child may even develop a rebellious mentality. You must spank the child when the child understands the reason, otherwise it will have the opposite effect.
