Positive Child Discipline, Learn Why Children Do Not Learn From Negative Parenting!

There are some very important reasons to use positive child discipline, rather than yelling and screaming at your children when they do something you don't like. There are also many other forms of negative discipline that fall into this category of things we shouldn't use when trying to teach our children about what to do, and what not to do. In fact, studies show, and I've found now since I've converted, that discipline doesn't really work at all when dealing with children!

Here's some very basic, yet important information to start. Children learn almost all of what they know just from watching people. They are mirrors, basically, that just reflect back what they've been shown. It then stands to reason, that the parents, or parent if it's a single family home, have a lot of influence over their children. This is especially true when the children are young.

And when they are young, we make the mistake of thinking that, because they are so small, they don't have feelings. However, the same kinds of things that would embarrass, hurt, or humiliate us, would do they same to them. Not only that, when a child is in this state, they will most likely shut down.

This is what happens when we use these negative forms of child discipline, instead of positive child discipline. And what are these things that we do? Have you ever tried to teach your children by shaming, criticizing, screaming at, embarrassing, threatening, or hitting them?

You can call this being politically correct, but I'll say it anyway. All that stuff is just not right to do to a child. I know it is how most of our parents dealt with us, but things don't just change for the sake of change. They change because of new information. So, not only are these negative parenting techniques just not right, they don't work anyway?

Aren't you here because you've been struggling with the negative behavior of your children. That alone is evidence that those tactics don't work, presuming you use them. Here's why they don't work. When a child is subject to all of that, they shut down. They can't learn what the lesson is that you are trying to convey. They only are learning to come down hard on someone when you think they did something wrong. So, if they, at some later time, bully someone at school or in the neighborhood, you'll know where it was learned.

My apologies if this offended you. Until my mind was opened, I didn't know any better either. It's very common to think that if you threaten someone to not do something, they won't do it. And as already stated, we learned to do this from our parents, and we see it being done by almost every parent around us. However, as illustrated, it doesn't work!
