(Photo courtesy/tfcf) April 28th is the Child Protection Day, but TFCF conducted a "parental status survey" on 869 professional practitioners who have frequent contact with children aged 0-6, in order to understand the current parental status of caregivers of preschool children in China. The sampled professional practitioners include social welfare workers, preschool educators, health care workers, psychological counselors and judicial police.
Failure of parenting knowledge and frequent violent discipline
The survey results show that 73. 1% of the employees said that most or all caregivers would have a direct adverse effect on their children due to the pressure or emotional state of their parents. Among them, 83.66% of child caregivers will loudly reprimand children who are difficult to take care of; 57. 19% will clap their hands or * * * show them to children; 3 1.76% will pull the child hard; Only about 35% of caregivers will turn to family members or professionals for help when they encounter problems in caring for young children.
Worryingly, almost all practitioners have seen physical violence or mental violence directly punishing caregivers of children from their work experience, which shows that caregivers' parenting knowledge and ability need to be strengthened. However, 60% of the practitioners found that even though parents have good parenting attitude and knowledge, they still "know and do differently" and still use corporal punishment or violence to discipline their children.
