November 18th, 2008 by admin
Parents don’t want to hurt their children. Although to some spanking is not considered to be hurtful, it can negatively effect your children and your relationship with them. Instead of spanking, try some alternatives. If you become angry give yourself some time to calm down and relax, you make better choices that way. Take some time for yourself, make sure you get to do some things for yourself when you need it. Be kind to your children but still be firm in making your requests. Give them choices if they are misbehaving. For example if they will not sit at the table to eat, ask them if they would stop playing with their food or would they like to leave the table? Try informing children ahead of time what the rules are when preparing to go somewhere, that will no what to expect. These are all great alternatives to spanking.
