Patient's question:
I am a mother of a two-year-old child. I just slapped the child's buttocks, quite forcefully, leaving it red. This is the second time I've hit the child; the first time I slapped them on the back, which also left it red. Every time the child misbehaves, and I repeat myself, it's useless. The more I talk, the angrier I get. I feel very regretful and believe I shouldn't treat the child this way, but no matter what, the child doesn't listen, and I truly don't know what else to do. Why do I get angry at the child? My temper has always been bad. Is there something wrong with me psychologically? Why can't I control myself? The child is so young!Doctor's answer:
Want to adjust your own emotions, on the one hand, you need to transform yourself, on the other hand, you can also try to identify with your child. Your child is now two years old, the stage when he most needs his mother's companionship and love to create a sense of security. Of course, at the same time, he has already developed a certain motor skills, and it is a very noisy stage, which may often make the mother very tired. It should be known that all children are like this at this stage, and it is necessary to have the exploration and discovery of guarding him, which is beneficial to the child. Of course, regarding your own emotions and transformation, if you need to be adjusted, this may require the help of psychological counseling.
