There are many ways to discipline a child without flogging. In this region of the world, though, most parents enjoy beating their children whenever they do something wrong. People tend to believe it is a good gesture because of the old saying “spare the rod, spoil the child,” but I disagree. I’ll give you some reasons why you should never flog your children in this text.
1. It is detrimental to their health.
The skin is a delicate organ that requires special attention. It’s possible that using a cane on your children is hazardous to their health. Flogging can leave a lifelong scar on your child’s body, which could have been avoided if you hadn’t used the cane in the first place. As a parent, you should always prioritize your child’s health before all else.
2. It instills fear in them.
Some parents have successfully instilled fear in their children because of the way they flog them. Instead of the other way around, your children should be able to respect you because they love you. Using a cane on them all of the time can make them scared of you, and as a result, they may be unable to communicate effectively with you. Parents should be aware of this.
3. You might injure them.
Flogging children while they are still developing and their bodies are not fully developed could cause both physical and emotional harm. To avoid injuring your children, you should warn them rather than scold them when they do something wrong
