I love this article.
It gives me hope that I’m doing a few things right.
I’ve been criticized for not seeing spanking as the number 1 discipline method.
I will give my boy a spanking if needed but I also know that he is at a stage where he is inquisitive and trying out new experiences and objects.
Having to “correct”him all the time will not give him a clear idea of what is wrong or right.
People say to me: “you have to spank him or slap him on his hands, so that he can learn.”
But surely if you do this all the time, it can be damaging rather than helping him.
This article just shows me that I am on the right path.
I like spending time with him and encourage him to try new things and award him when he does things that surprise me.
This is very informative, as a mom of a almost 9month old baby boy I would love for him to develop healthy habits it’s not easy, as Im a first time mom and confused at times whether I’m doing a good job, reading the blogs on kaboutjie helps me alot. I still have a long way to go but I know that kaboutjie has my back when I need to research articles.
