Neoxian City: Writing Prompt #4 – Toppers

Dear Hivers,

The fourth Neoxian City writing prompt was a success. It was interesting to read people's opinions about instilling discipline in children in our society today. Many authors traveled down memory lane to recount and share with us their childhood experiences. It was difficult to select the winners because of how detailed and compelling most of the posts were. Everyone was certainly a "Topper"! Thanks for your participation.

Reminder - please do not forget to adhere to the Guidelines. When selection is difficult - guidelines matter.

Prompt #4– The Toppers!!

These top posts receives an equal share of the posts rewards - 4.23 HBD plus 500 neoxags!!

The Top 5 posts selected (order is random):

Inculcating Discipline In A Child; A Compulsory Duty For Parents by @george-dee

The absence of discipline in a child's upbringing is like leaving a garden to grow without properly caring for it. A lot of things like weeds, pests, and rodents will manifest in the garden and somehow, they will affect the growth of the valuable plants in the garden.

The impact of the rod by @vickoly

Children are a blessing from God, a delight to behold, and a joy to the parent. That brings about celebration and the joy of having someone to call their own for the parents, but since children don't come to the world with a manual or the ability to differentiate between what's right and wrong, they're most likely to misbehave at times, and that brings about the duties of the parent to imbibe normalcy into such a kid with corrective words

Punishment And Reinforcement by @referrer

I think there is never a good educational reason for beating a child.
Because that aggression will either cause passivity in the child or aggression towards others.
So most probably beating your child to a pulp on a daily basis is not gonna turn them into Nobel prize winners also I don’t understand how people think that hitting other adults is a no go but beating up a tiny toddler is okay.

The Importance Of Discipline In Raising Children And The Consequences Of Negligence by @udezee

Parents are burdened with the task of nurturing their offspring, which involves being responsible for their lives from childhood to the early years of adolescence. During this period, parents must instill good morals, etiquette, and relevant skills that will enable their children to live responsibly and make significant contributions to society.

Spare One To Save The Other | Neoxian City : Writing Prompt: #4 by @justclickindiva

Adelaide sat on the side of her bed reeling. The relentless headache pounded, forcing her to seek the pillow. Her symptoms from her recent bout with bronchitis still lingered. She didn't feel well enough for work. She crawled back into bed. The noise rattled in her chest. The symptoms felt worse than when first diagnosed, sick to the point of nausea. Weak and unable to move, she yelled for her youngest daughter, Emily.
