In Soviet times, the practice of raising children with a belt was widespread. Parents only had to mention the belt and the child would become as soft as silk. But it could be different.
Modern experts believe that corporal punishment as a form of education is not only unpopular now, but is also a manifestation of violence.
Experts have explained whether corporal punishment should be practiced and what the possible consequences may be.
Belt as a symbol of punishment
In fact, this is not a Soviet development. Children have been kept in strictness since ancient times. And before the belt appeared, it was successfully replaced by rods.
But this does not mean that corporal punishment of children was encouraged or blessed.
Consequences
Modern experts believe that children who were brought up with a belt grew up unsure of themselves. Moreover, this quality manifests itself in a variety of areas of life.
But there is also a positive side.
As it turned out, having realized the burden of corporal punishment, yesterday's children and today's parents abandoned this method of education.
What is the mistake?
Experts believe that the best option is to educate by example.
It is necessary to devote sufficient time and attention to the child, provide support, and show love.
As for the belt, in this case children may begin to fear their parents rather than respect them.
