My thoughts "Discipline a Child"

What is the proper way in raising a child as a parent?Is there really a proper way?Or just love them accordingly and everything good will follows.

I became a mother at a very young age,I raised my child too independently from my parents since I came from a broken family and my mother been working abroad way back then.

I dont even consider myself as the best mother that people should know but Im trying my best to raise them properly with love and care.

Maybe being a Christian helps a lot since I often hear sermons and lectures from church about how to raise a child taken also from the bible found in Proverbs "Train up a child in a way he should go so when he is old he will not depart from it" and also the bible says to discipline a child with a rod and make him understand his own mistakes.

There is just one thing been bothering me this past days. Why there are mothers who have been abusing their own children,cursing them to death,just a little mistake a child commit cursing and battering the child even at a very young age. I dont intend to spread rumors about this but its about my neighboor. I dont understand why shes been so hard to her own child. Her child been a battered one at the age of 3 only 3 months younger than my daughter. Shes even cursing it and abusing her child if it commit a little mistakes. And to think shes living with her parents and her parents witnessed it every day but didnt make an action in correcting their daughter's wrong doing.

It breaks my heart hearing the childs crying day and night in pain. He is suffering too much from as abusive parent at a very young age. I cant imagine what impact will it be done when he grows up.

I know I dont have the right to intervene and dont have to bother myself with their own problem but its a serious matter. Everytime the child came at our house and plays with my daughter he always mimicking what my daughter do. If my daughter hugs and kisses me he is also doing the same and it really breaks my heart bcoz of that maybe that child is really longing for a motherly love.

I dont want them to report to authorize person since Im trying to understand the mother's situation. I dont have a plan in doing so. I just asked my husband to find a new apartment for us so we will relocate since I find this environment very toxic and unhealthy for my daughter hearing unpleasant words from our neighboor cursing their own son,witness abused just about her age.

I just hope and pray that her eyes and heart will be open someday. So she will see what she have been doing to her own son.

I know every parents have different way in raising their own children. But I dont believe that abusing and cursing are one of those proper way. It will only lead the child to rebellion when he gets old or worst a traumatic experience for child that might lead to depression.

Every child is a gift from God to every parents. A child is a blessing that should be loved,cared and nurtured.

I also believe in discipline by rod according to bible but it should be in a way that the child understands his own mistakes why he receives such punishment. Not beating him in an abusive way that the child suffers in pain after and leaves him but anger and fear towards his parents.

As what I have said I dont considered myself as the best mother but Im trying myself to be a good one. Just loving and taking care of them is what matters to me the most.

These are the photos, two of the most treasured photos and memories for me.

Thank you for reading guys. Just sharing my thoughts tonight after what I have witness this afternoon.
