Punishment by parents is a common situation for every child. There can be a huge number of reasons. Behavior, relationships with animals or peers, communication with adults, damage to property - all this is familiar to every parent. However, quite often adults make serious mistakes when they punish children for no particular reason. It is important to understand the line between a child's negligence and deliberate action.

Step 1
Very often, mothers start screaming at young children because of their behavior. For example, if a one-year-old child knocked over food from a plate or spilled juice, if he fell, staring at birds or animals, or even broke a toy. It is important to understand that the child is trying to learn about the world around him. Children at an early age do not realize what they are being punished for, they only understand that their mother is angry for something. If the child did not listen to you and ran through the puddle, do not write off yelling at him. Explain in a calm tone why this should not be done, and wet boots will be a profitable argument.
Step 2
Small children are constantly breaking their toys or furnishings. If something is very dear to you, move it away from children's hands. If a child broke his toy, it is likely that it was not of age or quality. The child can be told that things must be handled carefully, but shouting and punishing children in such situations is not worth it.
Step 3
A small child is interested in everything that surrounds him. Your task is to help him learn about the world and some of its dangers. For example, if your child runs away while walking and you are worried that he might get hurt or get bitten by an insect, give him a good example. If the kid does not believe that the grass can "bite" - let him touch the young nettle. The unpleasant sensations will instantly give the child confidence in your words. It is very important in this case to understand the "measure". Conducting such experiments, for example, with boiling water, would be thoughtless.
Step 4
Unfortunately, sometimes the reasons for punishing a child may not be his behavior, but your fatigue or problems at work. Many parents start to take delight in their children for no particular reason. Pull yourself together. The child is not to blame for your problems. Try to have less contact with him - buy a new toy, come up with an activity, or turn on a cartoon that he has not yet watched. While your child is distracted, try to calm down as quickly as possible.
Step 5
It is very important from a very early age to define clear boundaries for the child between what not to do and what can be done. Initially teach the child to obey, and if necessary, allow sometimes mistakes. So the child will independently understand the necessary line and will not take offense at you or consider you too strict a mother.
