Will you scold your kid after his teacher called you?

Hi zhuhuifen46. I am not a parent so from a parents view I can not say I would or wouldn't do anything but if I was then like jambi462 I would rather hear both sides of the story before i took any action. I wouldn't scold them though cos a) That's cruel and I would never have liked it if my Parents did that to me plus b) I would let them see that they have done wrong and learn their own way because otherwise i am accountable to My God for the behavior when it could have been well without any right cos I could have been the wrong one by doing anything. Catch ya later pretty_babe

first, i'll listen to both the teacher and my kid's side. at home, i'll explain to her why her teacher called and talk to me by telling her that she have done wrong in school and that I will not tolerate such but in a nice and calm way because the more i get angry, the more she can't understand why she needs to be corrected.

I will whip his bottom then ask questions later. As far as I am concerned, my child is a CHILD. He has no side of the story. That's the problem today, we believe our kids too much. The teacher is a trained professional. If she or he saw fit to place a call home to me, I would fully trust that professional's reasoning. In my parents' day, my grandparents would never have let them get away with calling an adult a liar--directly or indirectly. It would have been a trip to the woodshed. I think we need to get back to that today as kids are so out of control. Back in the day, if Mrs. Grundy says she saw you on the bus, and you were acting a fool--Mrs. Grundy would whip your butt, then call Mom and Dad, and you would get a brand new buttwhipping on top of the one you already got. The character of my parents' generation is ALOT better than what you see today.

My baby is not yet born. But if i encounter this problem. I will try to understand the whole story first, by listening to the teacher and also to my child. I think listening and communication are really important. The kids will get hurt if the parents don't have any trust on them. I don't want to scold my kid before knowing everything. Well, the question is whether which is the truth. I think i have to learn to cope with the problem. Not only kids have to learn, parents have to learn all the time too. Have a nice day.

If my child ages 3 or older, he can already understand the consequences of his own actions, like implemeting time-outs. But before that, he needs to be informed the rationale why he's being punished so he will also understand that what he did is not good, and he should not do it again.

Scolding is such a harsh word. I'd definately hear both sides of the story before making any judgements, but then I'd speak to my child about the incident. My actions would be governed by what occured that caused my child's teacher to call. Not all phone calls are negative, mind you.

Well before I scolded my child I would get both sides of the story because even though their just a kid they have their side of the story as well. I used to get in trouble in school all the time so I don't know about how I would feel disciplining someone that got in trouble in school because I'm really no one to judge but whatever happens happens and I don't have a child right now so that won't be for a while.

yes my friend i am not married i am a student the thing which i am going to give is my brother he got caught in a fight in his school he was just standing by the side when his friends hit a boy of ther same class he went and complained to the HEadmaster he asked for the details of the boys who were there around him when the fight was going on my brother got cought this happened last way back but hte headmaster called all the student who where there and my brother too went with my father and he told the thing and the enquiry got over and nothing was wrong on my brother even though my father started scolding my brother and hit him on his head he started crying and that was he hasn't done anything wrong thought he got caught and got hit from my father

It all depends on whether what said teacher told you was true, so don't jump onto conclusions yet. Talk to your child and ask him/her if what was said was true or not--and if it's true, then jump on it and scold the kid. My mom once got called by a teacher because one of the three of us how caught cutting the wrists. It was true--so needless to say a lot of scolding and spanking was involved. There's more to life than being depessed, mom says.
