Question

The son was beaten by the parents for not listening, and the parents are worried about the potential negative psychological impact on their child. They are asking for help.

Answer

When educating children, hitting and shouting is the worst approach. Parents should reflect on their own educational methods and not demand children to live up to adult standards. Too strict an educational approach may lead to regret only after problems arise. Parents should provide psychological counseling to their child, explaining the reasons for the beating and instructing them on how to avoid similar situations in the future. It is important not to overemphasize the emotional aspect of being beaten, as this may lead the child to form a wrong notion that being beaten equals doing something wrong. Best wishes!
