Can somebody please tell ways that greek people discipline their children in their culture? I have been trying to find information on the internet, but can't find anything. If you know a website I can go to, could you please tell me? Or if you know any information as well.
It's for a class exercise.Is there a Greek association you could ask?Their numbers are in the phone book.It depends...There was a new study performed by the Institute of Children's Health in Greece that showed that 65% of parents admitted to have used physical abuse to their children between the ages 6-12.It's very sad listening that but I fear that the past generation of parents (parents who are now 50+) believed that children need to be physical abused cause no talking could help as much as a physical punishment would.Now days, the younger parents have become more open minded and try other methods such as rewarding the kid for it's nice behavior, try to talk to the child about his feelings and try to have a good communication with their children.Unfortunately there are still many parents who believe that children need to be physically,emotionally and psychologically abused in order to have respect and fear for the older ones.It makes me mad cause no parent should treat it's child this way, and it's their incapacity of raising healthy citizens and their ego that makes them do such things. Well I hope/think that the new generation of parents is much more aware of how to correctly "discipline" their children.There is no need for any kind of abuse.Posted in ie07.com | edit
