1. It really depends though. I’ve had conversations with people who believe being physically reprimanded as a child has molded them, to be the discipline adults that they are today. However, some others feel different, as to where they feel like they’ve been traumatized and built with anger from constant beatings. I honestly believe SOME parents believe that was the best way to discipline kids and maybe because some didn’t know how to communicate, well with their children. I think i would do it a bit differently..communication is key. I need to understand why you did what you did & I’m def gonna explain where you went wrong. Best believe they’ll be a punishment, but behind that, I wouldn’t want to beat my kids to the point where they have severe bruises. In my opinion, it’ll only traumatized the child even more & I feel like my kids would not want to come to me for if there we’re to have any issues outside of the home. I want my child to be able to open up to me without fear and I want to be the mom that they can trust.
