Is it okay to discipline a child with a belt?

You should not do this where you can convince him with love.

Most people think discipline means punishment. But actually the bigger part of discipline is reward, encouragement, talking, listening, respecting, understanding and much more.

If your child doesn't listen to you, praise him for anything you find good about him and he'll listen attentively.

Few Words of appreciation and praise get results where criticism and ridicule fail. If you praise him for the good things he does, he is more likely to do good things again.
