RE: From Rods to Reasoning: How Parenting Has Evolved Over the Decades
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
The past had very strict form of parenting. I used to see it with some of the kids I played with, once their father came home it was like the whole joy and happiness in the home was sapped away. I used to wonder why they acted like people in a prison and not a home when I witnessed how a little mistake from one of the kids I played with led to him being beaten till his skin broke. Even I got scared to go over when their parents are home. Although this generation of parents seem to have let go of the rod, I believe it is necessary to correct the child once a while, lovingly with a cane. Not so much that they lose their aversion to pain and humanity, but just enough to let them understand that it is for their good.
nah that kind of parenting is on another level, such dad might be suffering from past experience (how his own parent handled him) and he is doing the same to his own children, God abeg. but correcting the child once in a is enough
