Parent-Child Bonds: Love, Discipline, and Cultural Differences

Dear Hive Friend and Hive Learner Members,

We we grown up we all want to be self dependent but when we were kid we always depend on some one else and most of the time on our parents and family members. For even small item or activity we depend on them, when a kid start waking we need helping hands , when a kid feel hungry he/she need some one who can prepare the food and feed him. It's parents also took it as their responsibility and do what even they have in their for the well being and betterment of their kids. In Indian culture the parents take care of their kids and in the old age the children took care of their parents. I thing the western culture is bit different. So when parents has the responsibility of their kid, do they have right to scold them and punish them if the kids do something wrong in the eyes of parents. And what if the kids also get the right to sue their parents if they punish their kids. As per my knowledge the kids in USA and Canada has the right, by virtue of what they can call the police and even sue them.

When we were kid, my father and mother always scold us and punish us if we do something wrong or misbehave. In my opinion it's right also, the parents do many sacrifices for their kids and to make them disciplined the parents can scold or punish them also, and it's very normal in Indian culture. But yes I am not in favors of some extreme punishment like slapping kids. I have a girl kid @gurseerat and I love her too much but this does not means that I will not restrict her for doing wrong. Strict is the part of her upbringing and I want her to be disciplined which will help her in the future. When ever my parents scold me or punish us they also tell us that we may be getting upset today but we will understand that their actions were right once we will become parent. And I am realizing the same now when I am a father of one kid.

I do want any such law which give the right to children to sue their parents if they punish them. I am not in favor of punishment and never scold my kid or what to punish my kid for mistakes she does. Some parents thing that punishment is ok and kids never understand and will not do the mistakes again if they will not punish them. My first choice will be taken it lightly and have a talk with child and understand their views point also. And it's very important and crucial that both the parents should not start scolding or punishing the child for some offence they done. One should always be their for pampering, like if mother is bit harsh to kids for some reason the father must be their to make her feel easy. When ever my wife got angry on Gurseerat, she always come to me and complain that mother scold her. And it is vice versa also. In this way kids do not become the stubborn in my opinion. The kids need our love and affection. If the kids get the right to sue their parents than this bond will not be their and parents also will not allow their kids to be with them after attaining adult age. I am in favor of a law which protects the kids from any abnormal punishment. The law which give right to sue the parents will just create a gap between them. I guess this is the reason that parents and kids do not live under same roof in many countries which has similar laws. I was very surprised when first time heard that in country like America and Canada the kids called the police and file a complaint against their parents. Recent I watched a film also on similar topic.

So my view point is against such law.
