Youth discipline can be a touchy subject. It is usually mentioned or thought about when things are not going so well in the family. You can also think about whether you see really rebellious children acting out or being disciplined. Maybe you are the one with those kids who are really misbehaving. No matter why you’re here, I have some very important things to tell you about some misinformation you may be basing your parenting techniques on.
No matter how much we try to be different from our parents, many times we find ourselves saying and doing things that remind us of them. Many times this happens when we are scolding our children. The reason for this is that we get a lot of our ideas about parenting from the way we were raised. Not only that, we see people with their children all the time, and we see them using pretty much the same parenting techniques that we do.
The reason for mentioning this is that we have been misinformed, but it is not our fault. It is not our fault because there are very few people who know about this. You may want to prepare yourself because you are about to learn some things that could revolutionize the way you look at youth discipline, and in turn, can benefit you every day from now on!
If you use any kind of punishment and reward while raising your children, you are unknowingly causing them to behave even more badly. They probably behave at first, but in the end, they don’t even have a choice in the matter. They have to, and they will act! These methods instill fear in their children and the end result is that they become defiant children.
Here is the reason why! Fear and stress cause additional amounts of cortisol to be admitted to the brain. This disorients your children and provokes all the ways they act. Tantrums, aggressiveness, talking back, being argumentative are all results of this! And this list goes on and on! This is why traditional yelling, scolding and yelling don’t work in the end either!
What’s worse is that over time, the effects of excess cortisol worsen and can lead to sociopathic behavior and adolescent delinquency. So, for many reasons, you and your family should seriously consider this information and possibly change your juvenile discipline techniques. If they didn’t work anymore anyway, you need to learn some new tricks.
