Do you think beating children leads to a psychological unbalance in them

I agree with you. As a parent myself it upsets me more than you could imagine. I love my children and would never dream of treating them badly. If parents got the same treatment that they gave their children I think children would be treated much differently. Besides hasn't anyone every heard the saying you get more bees with honey then with vinegar.

I think it's very bad to a child to get beat from their own parents. As I know some children who had the beating experience in their childhood do have some mental problem. When they grew up they became more violent and easy to get angry. it's not their fault. Their parents should realise how serious the prolem is. They should use peaceful ways to lead their children instead of beating them. Beating is the worst way to resolve problem. They think after beating their child they can let their child do what they want. bu they don't know the long term affects would be very awful.

If the parents beat and critize their children, the children may become very shy and very anxious, because they learn that is it dangerous to make mistakes. And if the children are always afraid of making mistakes, it will get hard for them to learn new things. But children are different and they react in different ways, and some children will become aggressive instead of shy and they will start critizing others all the time. I have seen both kinds of behaviours in my own life, and if I ever get any children I will not beat them or critize everything they do, because I believe that some children will suffer from this treatment later in their lives.

No-way!. there is a big difference between criticizing & beating children. We should never criticize them & beating is essential as this is one of the best ways by which children learns things. Small children have less understanding power & hence if they feel pain, next time when they think of doing something wrong, they will think of the beating & hence wont repeat the mistakes. As per my knowledge I have never heard a kid being psychological because of beating them, unless they are abused too much. Hope parents knows whats good for children & will do things for their betterment.

I have read articles in magazines and on the computer that says beating and even spanking will damage the child mentally and emotionally further down the road. I know many people, that say their parents tell them they are never good enough, and their self esteem is SO low, and they are always desperate for attention. I know people that have been abused, physically, even just spanking, and they are more aggressive, and "shut in", and make it hard for other people to understand what's going on in their heads, etc. It's sad :(

Hello, In home our parents used to beat us, not on petty reasons but only at times; in school our teachers used to beat us, i think that made us more disciplined, it is common in schools and some convent schools too... Thanks for sharing. Welcome always. Cheers. Professor

I think it is about how you communicate to your children and make sure to make them understand that you are correcting them or criticize them because it is for their own good. Since children are still on their molding stage and they are also receptive to the good things that you will teach them and will not forget them when they grow up.
