When we talk about parenting without discipline, then the subject matter isn't complete. For every excelling child out there one way and the other he or she was brought up in a well disciplined environment (home).
Far from using whips on children discipline goes beyond that and as a matter of fact it isn't necessary to constantly use whips on children as it won't help rather worsen the whole situation for extremely stubborn kids. Countless times have heard some children do wrong and instead of being remorseful or scared of their outcome they just conclude within them that afterall it is just to receive some strokes and they are free from the webs of their parents.
But then children will always be children and they have a special way of making one get angry to the point you don't know where you just grab the nearest belt and begin to use it on their body and of course the soft headed ones changed from their actions because they don't want to be flogged next time.
When as a child my dad and mom had so many methods of discipling us when we commit offenses and trust me we never get used to even one of their methods because when trying to adjust to this particular one and proving even more stubborn they quickly devised another way and change to that and it continued like so till they figure out another.
Nonetheless discipling a child I will say depends on the parents temperature or so because someone like my dad who is quiet and slow to anger what he mostly does at times is to speak to us when going astray and when worse get to worse he gives us punishment like pick a pin or ride a bike. My mom on the other hand would use the nearest turning stick to correct our senses back to its original form and that's why discipline varies depending on individuals (parents) temperament.
A few of the methods of discipline I consider is first "corporal discipline" which includes pick a pin, frog jump and even whipping but I would not advise anyone to whip a child considering some with health conditions. Another is "verbal reprimands" and this includes scolding. I have met kids and even I myself will tell you how much I dislike my mom scolding and sometimes I wish she even beats the hell out of me rather than scolding me. 😂 Other methods may include grounding and time-outs.
And lastly after all the punishment showing a child love and affection is one way to ensure they don't default again because it makes the child realize he or she is still love but we were just hurt because of their actions so they would not want to repeat it again.
