According to experts, reprimands should be corrective and encourage reflection. In this article, we explain how to "scold" your child constructively. The goal of reprimanding or scolding a child should be to educate them, so they learn and correct their behavior. For this reason, reprimands must be constructive; otherwise, they will not lead to learning or improvement in the child's behavior.
Tantrums, disobedience, sibling fights, and acts of rebellion are usually the main reasons parents scold their children.
But how do parents' reproaches affect the emotional state of children? Do they have a positive or negative role?
According to results from some studies conducted in the United States, if parents scold with a certain level of violence, it can negatively influence the child’s emotional development and affect their relationships with others in adulthood. Although many parents consider that scolding is closely linked to raising and educating children, it is necessary to learn not to overdo the tone.
The reprimand should be given in the calmest and most measured tone possible. And, depending on the child's age, it should be reasoned, avoiding impositions. The correction should invite the child to reflect on what they did wrong so they can see it themselves and change their behavior.
It should not be forgotten that children simply imitate what they see in their family environment. Thus, one cannot demand discipline, calmness, or balanced behavior if the parents do not demonstrate it themselves. Routines, organization, and the parents' serenity will always be the best tools to scold the child in the most constructive way possible.
