Sorry for your anger but your toddler is just a child that should not be beaten. Tears came to my eyes when I read this. All you needed to do was tell him that he can't do that and to not do it again. Depending on how old he is does he really know better. If he is 3 and up yes he should no better but to beat him? Next time try counting to 10 and hopefully you will feel better.

megaplaza hi! I think this is the first time I encountered you. Correct me if I am wrong. Please do not get angry so much. Anger does not lead us anywhere. I am so sorry for that poor baby. Perhaps you can embrace him and make amends. Tell him how sorry you are, that you got angry because the food must not be tumbled. Tell him to be careful next time. Okay?

Awwwww! I have a daughter that isnt 2 yet, and she seems to be in the same age catergory and she has done many naughty things like that, but beating a child should never be an option :( They say it is actually better to tell them what they did wrong so that they understand. Ive also read that beating or being very verbally abusive with your child may bring them up more aggressive as teenagers and adults. I get angry with my kids as well, and I sometimes yell at them at times when I know I shouldnt and I always hug and kiss them afterwards and tell them Mommy is sorry and that she over reacted.
