Is it ok to defend your child in front of others even if he/she is faulty ?

As a parent, I feel we should definitely stand up for our kids. But, if its a situation where you know your kid is in the wrong, you will have to change the approach a bit. Scolding or shouting at your kid in front of others can cause severe embarrassment and trigger negative reactions, as well as lead to low self-esteem. Instead, you can tell your kid that the particular behaviour was wrong and guide on how to do the same thing differently, in a right way.
