You have to raise your hand when your child is going out of control; you cannot run to the counselor every other day of your life and for every petty reason.
Our parents, with all their flaws, want the best for us. Let's not make them criminals for doing so.
Yes you can beat your child if they are going out of hand but not always. Beating a child should be last thing, parents must resort to, only if every other constructive method fails.
Mishti doesn't have a history of such behavior but for the first time, it's a very serious thing & should be immediately taken into light.
Parents should talk & try to understand the psychology that led to such kind of behavior. Take constructive ways to resolve the matter & if that doesn't work, beating can be tried once.
Mishti hasn't really been talked too. It's important to understand what is bothering her so much, why does she hate someone so much suddenly to the extent that she went ahead to bully her. It's not like she has been bullying everyone till now. Even if you beat her now, make her ask for forgiveness, then what's the guarantee that her bitterness will go away. She might not do the same thing with her again but that doesn't guarantee that she will let go of her apprehension for her. She might turn more bitter & that happens in most of the cases. Check out if the child already feels guilty for what she did, if she does then beating isn't required since the sole aim of it is to make them understand the gravity of situation & admit that they did wrong.
Not every child beaten will give the positive output. I have seen practical cases of beating that leads to far more worse.
It's time to have a fair conversation with her & make her see some things clearly no matter what. Trying to avoid a conversation because oldies are too scared in this case will not do any good. Pretty sure as a mother Mauli can keep her personal issues aside & address her daughter's issues.
