Please be honest. How many of u have physically disciplined ur child even if it was just once or even if it was small?

I have pushed my child off me out of instinct/initial reaction before after he’s jumped on me or rammed into me, but I’ve never once intentionally used physical violence towards him with the hopes it would teach him anything.

This isnt judgement here, just my personal explanation:
I don’t personally see utilizing corporal or physical punishment as a form of discipline.
I personally view discipline as a noun, not a verb.
I seek to prioritize teaching self discipline over complete compliance.

No one is a perfect parent. I have lost my cool many times and yelled at my kids. But I think if you are losing your cool and physically harming your kids, you need to immediately get some help and learn better ways to regulate. Because this could get dangerous really quickly.

We are all striving to do our best. As parents we ARE going to fuck some things up. Its inevitable. But we should apologize and actively work on not doing the thing again.

No parent is perfect and everyone loses their cool. Some parents just do so differently or handle it in different ways.

I’ve never laid a hand on my baby… when I lose my cool, I’m more likely to snap or raise my voice. I’m working on it all the time and really striving to break the cycle, which is what we all should be doing. Whether it’s yelling or being physical… we can do better.
