Reasons Parents Should Discipline Their Children Themselves

1: Others outside may be reluctant to discipline a child: One of the main reasons people outside the family hesitate to intervene when a child misbehaves is because they are unsure of how the parents will react. They may be afraid of provoking anger or negative consequences. This concern is evident in situations where teachers have been falsely accused and even taken to the police station for disciplining a child. It is why some schools have banned physical punishment. Therefore, parents should take responsibility for disciplining their children themselves.

2: To prevent shame to the family: An undisciplined and unruly child brings disgrace to their own family, not to the families of others. Therefore, parents need to train their children to avoid bringing disgrace upon their family.

3: To ensure care in old age: A well-raised child becomes an asset to their parents. Children are trained to become responsible and successful individuals, partly to ensure that they will take care of their parents when they are older and unable to care for themselves.

Parents should prioritize effectively disciplining their children because a well-behaved child brings honor and a positive reputation to their home.
