Patient's question:
Is it necessary to hit a child when they misbehave? I just hit my child just now. The reason is that she was crossing her legs when going to school, not that it's forbidden to cross legs. The key is that she was crossing her legs, which distracted her from studying. Reasoning didn't work, so I had to spank her. What should I do now? Seeking advice.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, hitting is not a solution to the problem. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination to rule out organic inflammation. Sometimes, when children cross their legs, it can also be a symptom of a disease. Generally, it is not advisable to physically punish children. Communicate well with them, as children now have their own thoughts, and proper negotiation can still work. It is suggested to provide psychological counseling, persuade, and show care. In severe cases, medical treatment with medication may be necessary.
