Very often I take out my frustrations (often due to other causes) on the children for their minor demeanours, and later feel guilty as hell. Though my children have grown up and dont seem to harbor any ill-will, I still feel guilty on that account. I was never (very rarely) beaten by my parents, and yet I didn't follow their example. So I'm sure that you wouldn't be beating Ashu. <BR/><BR/>Spanking (punishment) is OK, as long as it is done in an objective way (venting one's frustrations is NOT objective). The punishment should NOT be out of proportion to the mischief done. Punishment should NEVER be given in anger.<BR/>Easy to say, but difficult to follow.<BR/><BR/>An aside: Since last night I've been reading your blog, and its been too much for me to take - I've become sort of emotionally charged. Thanks for sharing your thought with us - it has meant a lot to us (readers).The Visitorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06379204603893147923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15986701.post-1135059330533072642005-12-20T07:15:00.001+01:002005-12-20T07:15:00.001+01:00btw.. the pleasure and the honor... is all mine......btw.. the pleasure and the honor... is all mine...ananthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01130501107980414641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15986701.post-1135059307693261352005-12-20T07:15:00.000+01:002005-12-20T07:15:00.000+01:00Boo: My bad..

I now know that everyone (and thats a realization that i got not just from you, Boo) goes through these emotions at one point of time. My resolution is that I am never gonna force my child, if at all I have one (which btw, seems more and more uncertain by the day considering my current single status and RC-ness), will get to make atleast his or her major decisions themselves with minimal intrusion from my side.<BR/>btw, can I blogroll you?ananthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01130501107980414641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15986701.post-1134836878330845972005-12-17T17:27:00.000+01:002005-12-17T17:27:00.000+01:00Until 2, they dont even know why they are being hi...Until 2, they dont even know why they are being hit! Between 2 to 5, they are just scared. 6 to 10, they are very much hurt and confused. After 10, they just rebel. So Alpha, is there really a age limit for hitting? <BR/><BR/>Lakshmi, sometimes the reverse is also true. People who ve been hit are the ones who hit their kids when they become parents. May be its in the blood or its the only way they know. Even for me it does nt come naturally. I ve to make a conscious decision that I should nt lift my fingers on my children. I just hope I succeed in doing so.B o ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351744309107088656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15986701.post-1134830043178970802005-12-17T15:34:00.000+01:002005-12-17T15:34:00.000+01:00that's terrible.
