Dear parents, Is it slapping kids is bad? I am bad temper person and also suffering from depression. I often slap my kids and shout on them especially when i am on bad mood and then my kids doing mistakes or won't listen. I regretted afterwards, but its happening again and again. I promise myself to not shout or slap my kids again but when happening again i just lost my mind and i couldn't control myself.

It is not bad. But it cause a certain trauma in kids. They will have a phobia whenever we raise our hands a little higher. i had a temper like you. but after 2 times, i told myself. slapping does not solve things! i calmed myself down by walking away from the situation. Then i think of a way to solve it. You need to find someone to talk to. By speaking out and voicing out. it helps to manage your anger and temper... After all we don't want our kids to have phobia of us....
