Do you scold children in front of others?

scolding children infront of other people doesn't always give a bad result.it is how children accept it that gives a bad result. sometimes kids think that in a wrong way .

Hello myb friend zhuhuifen46 Ji, Well, I had been teacher before my marriage, I do not believ in corporal punishment. In case children are to be treated, it isb h=just to explain in varieties of way, one finds out. I would never cane a child as I see it as brutal. I do however spank my kids when needed. Scolding is definitely appropriate. I do not mean angry remarks or yelling; I definitely do not mean publicly embarrassing the child. I do mean calmly explaining to a child what she has done wrong and what behavior would be a better choice. Scolding is far more effective than any punishment and it is the 1st line of correction. Punishment comes into play only after scolding has failed. May god bless You and have a great time.

I cant say I scold my children in or out of public. I do however disipline them in public. I love the weird glances I get from complete strangers. A look like "OMG a mother that is actually punishing her child out in public". I dont care what others think. I think that not enough parents make their points clear when they are in public because they are more worried about what complete stangers will say or think. I think more parents and babysitters should just disipline the children in public and their children might actually behave a little bit better. I think it's a great thing for people to do this in public.

I definitely agree that scolding kids in public won't give any positive result. Instead, it degrades the self-esteem of a child. If not treated immediately, it would lead to other misbehavior such as rebellion from parents, siblings, and or even society. another thing is that it would also bring kids into self-isolation....

I dont shout to my boy in public. But if the need arises, I do reprimand him. I saw his facial expression the first time I reprimand him in the playground and it hurts me to see that he is hurt to be told that way. I keep reminding myself that I should tell him nicely and not shout as shouting is never the good way out.

scold in front the public make the children hasnot any dignity, their will lost their face, their shame. So, if their have mistake, just say/ tell to them softly. Tell them that their attitude is not right, it will make other upset. If we schold in front the public, their will hate the parent, will give the gap each other.

LOL yep..if my kids need to be put in line in public so be it....HOWEVER I wouldnt go off on them like i would at home but yea I would scold them in public and have done it several times over the yrs..

Scolding children in public is not right. They too have feelings. When they do wrong, it is better to drag them to a quiet place and scold them to your heart contents. They will learn that they are in the wrong and will absorb all your words put forward to them on a one to one basis rather then in public.

Hi zhuhuifen, I agree with you, we should never scold children in front of others. We need to discuss the situation with them privately but never when we are angry. Blessings.

I absolutely will scold my son in public/in front of others... I think that in order for a child to learn from his mistakes, it needs to be corrected right away and forgiven right away. So if my son misbehaves - no matter if we're at home, at the grocery store or visiting someone's home - he's corrected right away. If I waited until we got home, changes are he will have forgotten all about it and he won't understand why I'm scolding him... Also, if you allow your children to misbehave just because you don't want scold them in public, it encourages them to act out wheneve they are in public. They will think that it's okay to misbehave because they know you won't do anything about it... And lastly, the waiting until you get home, maybe hours later, teaches the child to hold grudges because that is in fact what you're doing by not addressing the issue right away.

I always scolded my children when ever it was needed no matter where it was. I always felt that i should take care of the situation right then and their, and not wait. and if we were in public or in front of anyone else it did not bother me. If my children were doing something wrong, they knew about it right away.

Hi zhuhuifen, cetainly I will always correct my child's behaviour in public if necessary. I will have a quiet word, not publicly shout or anything like that. It is not often that I need to, usually something such as to remind him not to interrupt. I cannot abide to see people slapping their children in public or screaming at them but it shouldn't be necessary in the first place if the child is brought up to understand acceptable behaviour.
