this is DISCIPLINE?????

Quote From: frosado

Anyone that extremely disciplines their children like that should get some serious mental help.  No child deserves to be living in fear wondering what mom or dad will do to them next.   

 

I have witnessed extreme discipline as well as went though some.  This definitely scars a child's life.  Just looking and observing how some parents discipline their children disgusts me.  I am a true believer in discipline, everyone (even adults) needs a little conviction from time to time to remind us what we did was wrong, but we MUST discipline with love, not to inject fear in the child's life.  Extreme discipline does nothing but make your child hate you even more, rebel against you and get involved in all kinds of outside trouble. 

 

Either a child is extremely disciplined , or extremely spoiled and walks all over their parents.  What is wrong with this world??  These are our children and our future!!  It's not easy to raise children, and it's certainly not easy to discipline one , but it is our responsibility to do it WITH LOVE!

To discipline is to teach.... what are these parents teaching this poor child about love, life, self-worth, confidence, common sense? Do these parents even want this child? Their actions will drive her away.

Throught the eyes of this child, I bet anything she could conceive of would be better than what she is experiencing at "home" .. what a joke to call her living condition "home" in any kind of safe emotional sense.

These parents need parenting classes, this child needs another place to live and be counselled.
