Hi Parent
Parenting teenage children: We all remember some of the punishments of our own childhood. How unjust they seemed, and how outraged we felt! Punishment undoubtedly has a place in parenting teenage children, but only a NEGATIVE place. Punishment does not make teenager children good. If teenager children are punished frequently, it may even make them bad. As suggested by veteran novelist, William Dean Howells, parents have clung to the wisdom of Solomon, in this respect, through centuries of changing conditions. Solomon said: “Spare the rod and spoil the child”; Mr. Howells suggests that we might with profit spoil the rod and spare the child. Love and patience are the secret of parenting teenagers. Have A Blessed Day!

i agreed, parent should not punish their children. My father punished me so much that it took more than 30 years to heal my wound. I am still feeling how unloving my father was. Thanks

I hv 2 very naughty boys. Just don’t know how to stop their mischief without canning them. Please give me some advise. It pains me to punish my sons I love them very much. Hope they’ll forgive me. Please give me more tips. Thanks

There will be no serious offences if the slight ones are treated properly. Parents should hold their scolding. Scolding arouse in the child a sense of rensentment. Have a Blessed Day!

Practical advice for parenting teenagers…
Parenting teenagers is full of extremes. There are great joys while parenting teenagers and also great disappointments. The teen years are a time when the child is slowly separating themselves from their parent…

I think it’s quite difficult not to punish children. But again you are right, by punishing they may stop awhile and then the same mistakes they repeat.
