Many parents are accustomed to using the method as one of the elements of intimidation so that children can remember the punishment for a long time.

However, this method has a questionable pedagogical effect.

You are unlikely to be able to convey the meaning of your decision, but you will have a very powerful impact on the child’s psyche.

Why Children Should Not Be Reprimanded and Scolded in Public

Experts note that even adults react poorly to public criticism. If you have ever been "raised" at a meeting to be scolded, you remember your feelings very well. However, adults have developed psychological defense mechanisms. Therefore, such a "spanking" will be painful, but will not be able to have a long-term effect on a person.

With children it's different.

A child who has been reprimanded in front of strangers begins to feel ashamed. He will not understand why exactly you reprimanded him, but he will remember one thing very well: it was his parents who subjected him to such an experience.

Therefore, children may begin to have problems with self-esteem. This situation may also have a negative impact on the quality of family relationships.
