How to Educate a Child Who Disobeys?

Question

My child often disobeys me, and I frequently hit him. Is this a good way to educate him, and what are the effects?

Answer

As children reach a certain age, they will all go through a period of rebelliousness, always going against the instructions of adults, which is what we call disobedience. When faced with such children, one should communicate patiently. If communication is ineffective, one can temporarily shift the child’s attention and then proceed with guidance later. In summary, one should pay close attention to children, guide them with patience, and absolutely not confront them. Otherwise, it may not be the parents who ultimately yield to the child, fostering bad temper in the child, or the parents losing their patience and hitting the child, causing harm to the child’s psyche.
