Shaming just gives reasons kids to distance themselves from you and keep you out if their lives as much as possible. Instead, be supportive, even when you don’t understand it, and guide them into making sure that whatever it is that makes them happy doesn’t cause direct harm to others.

No!! Shaming a child is destructive it makes a child feel like they want to disappear. A better way is talking with them about their feelings.

No, shaming a child is rarely effective.

It can create fear, resentment, and low self esteem rather than helping them learn or grow.

A better approach is guidance with empathy , explaining why a behavior is wrong, setting clear boundaries, and encouraging positive choices.

Teaching through understanding and support usually leads to better long term growth and stronger parent child relationships.

No, shaming a kid or Anyone for that matter only shows you need to feel better about yourself. Better explain what it is they did wrong and show them a way to do better.

Shaming can cause scars for life.
