Why do parents scold their children?

Basically, every parent per se doesn’t want his child to make the same mistakes they made in their own childhoods. Ergo, every parent sees to it that their children are well brought up. In this whole process, sometimes the children do not abide by every saying of their parents. In that case, we get to see that parents give their children a loud thrashing.

And well, not only their care towards children, but also their own egotistic senses many times lead the parents in hitting their children. Wonder how? This is the way it is, we elders by nature have a basic feeling that we know a lot about our world, especially more than the small children. But no, it isn’t so. Even parents go wrong sometimes wherein children are right and they even protest or give a bold statement out. This kind of situation arouses an egotistic feeling in the minds of parents and they end up scolding or hitting their children in order to satisfy their ego.

Children are never an instrument by whose means you satisfy your ego. Not everyone is perfect in this world. We all are some way or the other and at some point or the other wrong. And when we are, we must accept and stand by that. And feeling disgusted about a child pointing out that and telling us about what we’re wrong should never infuriate us because that shows lack of mental maturity. When the parent isn’t mature enough, how can we expect the child to be?
