Many mothers believe that immediate scolding is the correct way to discipline,
but the truth is that staying calm in the moment of a mistake is far more effective than any punishment.

When a child makes a mistake, they are already feeling fear.
If they are met with an angry parent shouting,
they won’t learn from the situation; they will only learn to be afraid and hide their mistakes.

Remember: the goal is not to “assert your authority,”
but to “teach your child how to correct their mistake.”

Try these simple steps:
 Take a deep breath before responding.
 Lower yourself to their level and look them in the eyes calmly.
 Speak gently: “I know you didn’t mean to make a mistake, but let’s see how we can fix it together.”
 Involve them in correcting the situation so they feel responsible.

A child who is guided calmly…
will grow up knowing how to manage their emotions.
A child raised with shouting…
will only learn to shout when angry.
