Never Beat Children

Say no to physical punishment

It is often the case that the abused becomes the abuser. Parents, who were physically punished, repeat this act naturally as if a reflex action when it comes to teaching their own children. As a matter of fact, physical punishment is an act of abreaction. It is an uncivilized and inhumane behavior that even animals do not take out on their offspring. 

The more a child is beaten, the stronger his/her self - defense mechanisms. Since they cannot feel warmth, security and love, they live in constant fear. Under suppression like such, children will soon resent their parents, thereby becoming quarrelsome, untrustworthy and rebellious. 

Children are not tools and they have own thoughts and feelings. We must not tame them through hitting.
