Insulting or swearing at children
Many parents resort to punishing their children when they
misbehave by rebuking them and showering them with offensive
words, thinking that this is better than hitting them. But the most
recent research and scientific studies confirm that the opposite is
true. Verbal rebukes are no less harmful than hitting because
they have the same harmful effects as hitting on the child’s
psyche.
One of the consequences of insulting children is that it shakes the
child’s self-­‐respect and self-­‐confidence, because when we insult
children we give them the impression that they are worthless.
Many fathers and mothers resort to punishing their children
when they make mistakes by rebuking and insulting them, which
results in the child acquiring a vocabulary that is inappropriate to
his age. Then the mother starts to complain that the child has a
sharp tongue when speaking to her or to his father or other
family members. Dr. Sayyid Subhi, a professor of mental health,
says that self-­‐respect is greatly damaged when the child is
exposed to punishment by one means or another, because when
we punish children we give them the feeling that they are
worthless.
Finally, I advise every mother to deal with her little child as if he is
an adult, by showing him respect so that he can develop
confidence in himself and in the people around him. When
speaking to your child it is also essential to choose the words that
you would like your child to say afterwards.
