#children #form #discipline
Children often misbehave and when they do so many parents smack them to teach them a 'lesson'. To inculcate disciplinary values in children necessary actions should be taken and physical punishment is the very

Of course, not.Having said that, it is important to discipline children and parents can do that by spending quality time and setting examples in front of their children.If they get indulged in some wrong activity, counselling is the best way to make them understand by respecting their emotions. To conclude, children are our future and should be raised with at most care, love and patience. Good parenting and Smacking can not co - exist. Smacking traumatise children and may even lead to more adverse impacts on the growth of children.
