I Learnt that it is not Good for parent to use abusive word or curse their children because it might have a negative on the child in the nearest future. but some parent to abuse their children but the child still grew up to be great and fullied so what are your opinions

it is not right for parents to use abusive words on their children.

it may affect some while it may not affect some.

but who can curse the man that Jesus has blessed nobody

parents should try as much as possible to pray for their children instead of cursing them.

I agree, some might turn out nice but that doesn't mean all will, I believe it is important to avoid all kinds of violence or negativity when raising a child: abusive words, threats, physical violence, fear etc. Of course, that being said, no one is perfect and we can all say words that we'd regret later when angry or under pressure, especially if that's the way our own parents raised us.

It is the most terrible thing any parent could ever do . . . . always have a way to come back and bite them in the rear.
Besides, there is power in the word spoken.

No.

while some parents may see it as a harmless act or just a thing of the moment for many children it does directly/indirectly affect their self esteem especially through the teenage years particularly when used repetitively.

no

Nope,

That is their business , if they want to use abusive words or not. It doesnt affect me .

It's the most irrational thing for parents to use abusive words on their children and whether they like it or not they will reap the words spoken into the lives of their children!

You know sometimes nairalanders post some topics they already know the answer to. Why do we keep doing this now?
@ Poster, u said u learnt, haba, even a toddler knows this now, find a more challenging topic that will help everyone and not these kind of nursery questions we ask here. Abeg, we need to grow up.

definitely not

i mean where im from

rains of abuse is not uncommon

but theres certain words

i believe you should never call your child

like stupid, or slow, or a b.a.s.t.a.rd

neva neva neva!!

instead say naughty, or animal names like stubborn goat!

hell no!!!

They shouldnt cos its not d right way of bringing up a child. As 4 me its better u flog me than u abuse me,

The issue should not be whether it has a direct relationship with the outcome of the child's upbringing because it doesn't.
A child will turn out good/bad regardless of whatever form of abuse he receives.
However,it is the responsibity of the parent to shield the child from all forms of internal/external abuse.Achieve that and leave the rest for God.

Not good at all because a curse from a parent will definitely affect a child in future.So Parents instead of cursing please bless them.

One thing i've observed is that kids whose parents use abusive words grow up to do the same.

Common sensically, what is good about ABUSE? Such a parent should call the erring child and advise him or her accordingly. They should know that the tongue can be used to bless and equally curse. If you are a parent, go and reverse the Curse or Abuse.

Pauloch.

No matter what, Never!!!

Never!!

Exactly.

It also makes them unable to express themselves amongst their peers in a sociable manner.
They find it hard to express slight displeasure without resorting to heavily abusive words.

It's so much better to talk to them and express what you think about their actions in clear words so they don't pick up socially repugnant habits.

Most parents are only such because they got old, got pregnant or impregnated someone. Many are not mature enough for it or even have qualities to be one.

Parents should never ever abuse children. BIG NO NO. When children are young, they are very impressionable to the point that they start believing all of the abuses rained on them. This can later affect the child in a negative way when he/she grows older.

Not necessarily, but it is a contributory factor though as it eats deep into the fragment of emotions.  

No. Absolutely not.

nope, you shuldnt , you'd be suprised that your kids wud just end up what you actually call them

Good parents shouldnt!

Is there a parenting manual somewhere?
