I feel some parents don't take the time to explain to their kids why what they did was wrong. They hit the band wagon and procede to the yelling and punishing, when the kids can't comprehend why they are being screamed at, they didn't know what they did was wrong. I am sick of hearing " oh that's why these kids are bad, they never got an A** whopping." There is a million ways to put your kids in check but all you know is yelling and spanking? That's just how I feel. Like one time I said a swear word ( I didn't know its a curse word) and my mom immediately went to the yelling and ultimatums. I had no idea the word was a curse word. I was never told what I did or said was wrong and automatically yelled at or punished.
