Spank your Kids often? You’re Depressed
Depressed fathers are four times more likely to spank their children (and less likely to read to their children), a research reveals. If this study is correct, and we’d have to give it the benefit of the doubt considering that it’s a scientific study, then I’m an extremely depressed dad.
Things to Consider even Before your Child is Sick
Everyone gets sick. It’s more difficult if the one who gets sick is your child. There’s the emotional suffering that parents suffer as a result of a loved one suffering. It’s also arguable that older people would be in a better physical condition to go through the sickness than a child.
