That beating your child is love and any form of positivity is encouraging entitlement. I get that no one wants an entitled child, but physical violence and no positive encouragement is damaging to a child’s psychological development. Trauma is a real thing and learning to live in fear isn’t a good way to grow up. Not to mention a child growing up in a violent environment can become a violent person themselves.
It is even more baffling that many people is surprised how children retaliate in violent behavior after being physically abused. If it’s the parents that do the physical violence that’s love and necessary discipline, but if it’s the child that’s unacceptable. I can never get that logic.
I saw a bag the other day that had a short sentence that read “physical violence =/= love”. It’s sad how many people have to have the message literally written to them like that to get it.
