I would like to know why people think its acceptabe to....?

hurt children or inflict bodily pain to MAKE THEM BEHAVE. I teach my children through positive discipline. This means I first hold myself accountable for being a good role model and practice what I preach (not easy). Model good self control and anger management. Also to understand how I was raised (authoritative, permissive parenting, or with fear based discipline ;ei. , yelling ,rewards and punishments). Along with this Its important to understand child development (ages and stages and temperment). Once I understand who I am and how I was raised, now I am willing to learn NEW SKILLS, because I cannot teach what I do not know. So I guide my children through setting clear limits and consequences that relate to the crime. I also give choices and hold them accountable for the choices they make. They will learn to be responsible because they will recognize the choice they made. So far my children are learning to be responsible and we have a good relation ship.
