Q: Is shouting or hitting the child for disciplining him a 'bad' thing?

Answer: There is plenty of evidence which proves that shouting and hitting do NOT work on children. In fact, it is doing more harm than good in the long run. Your child's entire life can be negatively affected if you repeatedly give such harsh punishment. Hitting or shouting repeatedly can even create 'toxic stress' in your child which may lead to higher chances of school dropout, depression, heart disease, drug use, and even suicide.
