Hitting is never a good idea, kids have simple minds trying new things, exploring new world. As a parent, you may feel that beating or hitting your child will polish his behaviour but trust us, nothing good comes out of beating a child.
1. Hitting Breeds Hitting: The child gets license to bit others as well, if the home environment is such.
2. It Devalues the Child: The act of spanking a child does not simply hurt him physically, but also emotionally. It is the emotional sting of it that causes the worst effects. If you constantly hit your child and tell him often that he is wrong.
or bad, he will think that he is not a good person
3. It Makes a Child Lose Self-Confidence: He may feel bad about himself and it may affect his self esteem and confidenceThe more you hit him, the more he will commit mistakes, which in turn will make him feel bad about himself.
4. It Devalues the Parent: if you hit your child for little things, he will be afraid of you. He will also be afraid to come to you and tell you if he does something wrong and you and your child may become detached.
5. It May Make the Child Rebellious: If you hit your child frequently, he will be scared once or twice, but after one point, he may become a rebel. He will know that the worst that you will do is hit him, so he might flout your commands and do as he likes.
Better is to Make him understand the good and the bad aspects.
