Blog Post #3 When parenting goes wrong

Many different parents have many different ways in disciplining their children. This is just one of them. As degrading as it may be, depending on the child, this sort of punishment will have different effects. Compared to some punishments like beating the children, I'd say this is a much better choice, given that the child is still young. If they are older like maybe 11+, they will be more prone to being made fun of at school by their peers, and this is the age where they care a lot more about their social status.

Talking from experience, I'd probably much rather have had my head shaved than my butt beaten with a slipper or belt. Even if it is mean, this may work wonders for some kids who need to learn discipline because they are not doing anything in school, and letting their grades drop. personally, I saw this before in a tweet on Twitter, back then I did not know the back story for it, and did not know it was a trend to be done by parents. Personally I do not find this to be the meanest thing ever, as parents can do much worse things to their children for misbehaving.

The mention of disciplining children reminds me of a video I once saw, where the father ran over his son's video games with a lawnmower, destroying hundreds of dollars worth of video games. 

Here is a screenshot of the parent shredding the video games

This is an example of a parenting method that should not be used. There is almost nothing to gain from that, other than the anger from your child. You can watch the video here. In this situation, the father could easily have brought out the "you live under my roof, you obey my rules" logic. But he decided to go to the extreme destroying the property of his son, all to only teach a lesson. This is the sort of thing that parenting should never get to, along with physical abuse, or definitely sexual abuse.
