    As a future father / parent I would like to review a few things that will help me as a father not resort to smacking a child. If a child is throwing a fit, all they really need is their parents loving touch. Positive and constructive feedbacks are key and vital to a child's growth. It is important to let a child know when they are doing good in things such as school, sports, at home, and with siblings.

    Alternitives to Punishment

    Physical abuse that is caused by adults and is inflicted on children is statistically proven to have long term effects psychologically on children. As a future father/parent I would like to review a few things that I have learned that will help me as a father not resort to smacking a child. The three areas that I would like to focus on are changing physical environment, positive and constructive feedback, and allow children to practice autonomy while guiding them. There is nothing worse than a screaming child who will not stop whining, crying, or throwing that temper tantrum. Sometimes a child doesnt know how to express his/her feelings and so you get the byproduct of crying/screaming. If your child is repeatedly opening doors that they shouldnt, put a child protective cover over the door handle so the child cannot open it. You can let the child try to open it, but they will eventually move on as their attention spans will not allow them to focus on that and new things of interest will spark their attention. If your child wants to run across the road, make sure that you hold their hand tightly and explain why that is dangerous. Sometimes if a child is throwing a fit, all they really need is their parents loving touch. By picking them up and soothing them, it will turn their anger to feeling loved by their parent. You do have to be careful in using this technique though as kids will sometimes recreate that behavior, just so they can feel your love again. Positive and constructive feedbacks are key and vital to a childs growth. A child is always looking for a parents approval, but sometimes if the child feels neglected they will purposefully do things to get your attention whether good or bad. It is important to let a child know when they are doing good in things such as school, sports, at home, and with siblings.

    Some of the most positive experiences Ive had growing up and that I still remember to this day are times when my parents would say, Jaron, Ive noticed that youve been really trying to spend time with your sister. Weve noticed that you two have gotten along a lot better as youve been doing things for each other. Those words made me want to continue if not double my efforts to be nice to my sister. In other situations, if your child repeatedly disobeys you and will not change their actions it is important for the parent to help the child in correcting that behavior. For example, if a child keeps pulling on the cats tail they will eventually get swatted by the cat. Its important for children to see your example as a parent being nice to the kitty and petting is softly. The child will often imitate and mimic what they see the people around them doing, thus learning how/why we do what we do. Allowing a child to practice their own autonomy is very important. Children need to be able to make decisions for themselves in order to grow. If a child will not brush their teeth or get ready for bed ask them a simple question of, Would you rather brush your teeth first and put on your PJs or put on your PJs and then brush your teeth? If your child has an established routine they will know that both activities are coming, but allowing them to decide for themselves will help them grow and they wont nearly fight you as much because they feel like they are making their own decisions. Other things are making deals; one easy way to do that when a child says that they are too full or wont eat a specific food is to say, How old are you? If the child is five for example, then you could say Okay if you can take five more bites, then you can be done. This will give the child a goal and a reasonable one to strive for. They will still feel like they are in decision making control and will usually comply. These are just some ways and definitely not all the ways in which we should be able to use as parents to make sure that we never physically or verbally abuse our children. Sometimes

    parents lose control of their anger, and that is understandable. However, I think that all of us could use some different ideas to help us understand our childrens needs better. I know that as we implement positive ways of rearing our children, that as a society well grow and we will ultimately be giving our children their best chances for their future.
