体罚 / Corporal punishment

比比近来有脾气暴躁的现象。晚上她玩得兴起有时会喊。如果叫她不可以,她可能会静个半分钟,然后又吵了。我没有耐性,警告到第三次,我就会告诉她“如果再喊,妈妈就打啦!”

她有时会不甘愿地跑到老远脸黑黑地坐着。

有时举手作打我状,那就会真正的惹火我。我就狠狠地打她的小手,让她知道被打有多痛。近几天她学会了不高兴/哭时大喊,是超高音的那种。又中了我的几个耳光。

老早老早告诉家婆千万千万不可以宠坏比比,小孩不从小教,三岁过后就很难把坏本性矫正过来。我讨厌没有礼貌,没有家教的小孩。可是,体罚能防止比比变怀吗?

Bibi has signs of bad temper recently. At nights when she is high from playing, she'll shout. If I ask her not to shout, she might be quiet for 30 seconds, before making noise again. I am impatient, on 3rd warning, I will tell her "If you shout again, I will beat you!"

Sometimes she will unwillingly moves to a corner and sit there with black face.

Sometimes she raises her hand and wanted to beat me! And that really set me "on". I would beat hard on her hand, let her know how painful it is to be beaten. In the last few days, she likes to scream when unhappy/crying, with super high pitch tone. I gave her a few slaps.

I told my mother inlaw since long ago to not spoil Bibi. Kids need to be educate since little, else it's very hard to correct their bad characteristics after 3 years old. I hate rude kids. But, will corporal punishment prevent Bibi from turning into a spoiled kid?

its so important to get it right when the child is still young... at this age, still 'controllable', but I don't use beating, I use reasoning... cos' beating is short-lived but reasoning goes a long way....

most importantly, how does everyone around her behaves, does everyone talk nicely to one another? or are there quarrels often? cos' children are best imitators!

I feel bad too when have to beat her. I will first use reasoning but sometimes after long working hours and pressure, really hard to control the temper. Sigh.

She remembers everything now, she keeps mumbling to my mother inlaw that "Mama beats me", which happened more than 1 week ago!!
