What to do … Or Punishment as a crime (Part 2)
So to beat or not beat? Civilized Europe has made the following decision - not to beat! For example, in Sweden, if the police notice a bruise, bump, abrasion on a body of the child, if it is proved to be parents’ handwork, daddy and mummy will go straight to prison. The same can be told about France, Italy, England, etc.
Europe denies corporal punishments. But this denying also contains latent danger. Who can guarantee that not punishing the child physically, parents won’t start “to beat” the child morally?
And maybe, more terrible isn’t the form of punishment, but that the parents do not know enough to stop punishing the progeny?
«Be friends with your children and then everything will be Ok », - exclaim Americans.
In 80s years «School and a life» magazine published the letter of one mum who confessed: every time, when her son committed an offence, it was she, who was punished, for example, the husband deprived her of sweets, did not allow watching favorite films, etc. Son pitied mum, and the boy began to study well, learned to live in harmony with his family.
So, how the child should be brought up? If you have exact recipes, may be you are self-sufficient?
