as we know ,many parents in china who would have punishments on their baby when they make mistakes . but i don't think its a right way to educate the baby.
one day , after class ,i'came back to go home,on the road ,there was a baby whose cloth was very dirty ,crying very loudly,saying to a women 'i wouldn't do that again, please excuse me !"so the women must be his mother . maybe the baby didn't care his cloth when he was playing ,his mother was very angry ,so she had shouted to the baby or gave punishments on him. a little moment later , the women take the baby to leave , the chirldren looks scared .
actually, i didn't understand why the mother let his son to be scared, everybody like to play when they were a children. as a adult,we should let the baby know they shoud't do that again,but not to give punishments on them.

I think to punish the kids is the wrong technique that hert his feeling and creative power and vision and it will cost in future when he or she fail to get the right position in their careers.most importantly child have lost his/her confidence and talked by him/herself and move his/her abilities downword side.

That is a horrible sight to see! But that is actually happening not only in China in particular. We have seen lots of videos showing child abuse and it really breaks my heart seeing those kinds of violence especially when kids are involved. Kids are so innocent and they should be taught and guided and disciplined with care not with harsh punishment.

that is quite threatening and people are really getting scared and mainly babies are kind of petrified with these sort of punishments

I also saw parents with this kind of attitude (which I find highly inapropriate) here. So, I guess it's not only a chinese way of education. I don't see why someone will make a big deal because of dirty clothes, in times where all spot can be easily cleaned. Parents should keep their anger for something more important.

I totally agree punishment these days in many different countries are just cruel. Children are taught to act as adults at a very young age. Its OK to teach right from wrong but they have no right to abuste the minds and bodies of children. Let them be children and have fun just let them know when the fun is over.

I agree. All kids/babies at some point are going to get dirty. In my opinion let them be kids and clean up after them when they are done. Of course now days it seems to me that children do not get to do like most adults got to do when they were children. Like get outside and play and get dirty, run around in the yard and have some exercise. I disagree with some punishments for children. Lets let them be kids they are only kids once in their lives, not every single thing they do needs or deserves some kind of punishment. They should be shown love and compassion, but of course also be shown right from wrong.
