npub1cgy7uhcvex342j3nnfnngcmcjrjp3e5uw0z5wy4xhpupq9rhetgq0gsktx (npub1cgy…sktx) what if beating kids prevents them from doing things that will cause them even greater harm in future?
What if unicorns shat rainbows? It doesnt, so the what if regarding something that isnt true doesnt mean much. As far as I know, most parents don’t beat their kids out of anger but rather to discipline them.
Thats just a lie they tell themselves so they can justify their beatings. And even if it were true it wouldnt make the beatings any less abhorrent.
When parents beat their kids “out of disciplin” what they are really saying is they beating them out of frustration and anger that their kids arent listening, nothing more. They just need to pretend they are doing it for altrusitic reasons. Even most murderers need to find an excuse for what they do and usually find a way to excuse it as a greater good… it isnt. If that discipline prevents even greater self destructive behaviour in future
It doesnt, quite the opposite, it creates adults with deep rooted psychological issues who are likely to have all sorts of functioning problems. Worse yet since they are never taught to cope with their issues they likely lack the skills to even address their now underlying issues, or even the self awareness to recognizet he problem. They likely just go on to beat their own children and continue the cycle. is it not justified?
Since that doesnt happen this is a moot question. Keep in mind that it takes time for children to understand concepts of right and wrong or “this could kill/hurt me or others”.
No it doesnt… by the time a kid is able to learn from a beating they are able to reason. Regardless even if this isnt true there are plenty of punishments that dont require you to beat your child.
