Doctor's answer:
The worst way to educate children is to hit them. What parents must understand is that suggesting to a 5-year-old child according to adult standards is clearly unreasonable. In this situation, parents should reflect on their own problems. How to be strict with children—many people think it seems appropriate to be strict with children, but often they only regret it after the child repeats the problem. It is necessary to communicate with the child, explaining the reason for the punishment, mainly to reiterate what they should do in the future to prevent such results. Don't let the emotion of being hit expand further, otherwise the child will ultimately be left with the concept that you hit them, rather than connecting it to their own mistakes. Best wishes!
