How to deal with a temper tantrum: Why punishment is a form of abuse

All parents have to deal with temper tantrums in their child. Most parents are punitive in that nature, and spank, punish, or control a tantrum. I am not bothered inherently by your child throwing a fit in the store - that's what kids do. Children are exempt under Divine Codified Ordinance, as children always mean well. "Original sin" means children don't know everything about the world, and are hindered in their learning by their immature age and developmental level...Why one must not react, and instead respond.

Generally, a temper tantrum is pain and/or shame/momentary distress inflicted upon a child, and is a form of legal damages by away of abuse when defended. It says in Exodus 20:17 KJV:

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, nor shalt thy covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

The Hebrew word translated "covet" is לחמוז (Latin: lachmod) and refers not only to wanting something from a child, but wanting said item in a way that is imposed on said child, with the Tenth Commandment, repeated in the New Testament by the Greek root word πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and refers to the attitude of "I am a good parent/adult, and so I have the right to peace and quiet from children". No, you don't. You don't have any rights as a parent. You have duties to your children. You have emotional/attachment duties, including validating momentary upset from a child. It says in Colossians 3:21 KJV:

Fathers, provoking your children to anger, lest they become discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) refers to short-term damages such as pain (ex. from a needlepin, at the least), shame (ex. emotional distress/defamation of character), fornication (the slightest of sexually entitled contact with a child - symbolic, physical, verbal). Abuse is whatever the child perceives such, including that which is perceived as alarming, unsafe, upsetting, or uncomfortable, without just cause.

An example of just cause is saying "no" to a child in the store when, perhaps, they want "grape juice" off of the wine shelf at Giant. You tell them, "that's wine, not grape juice. Won't work", and then they cry. That could become a personal slight, thus abuse, if you dismiss it and/or ignore it. The idea, in general, is to reassure and validate my feelings. 

One strategy I have to deal with such issues is pro-social punching bag. Let them slam me down on the ground, punch me on the back and torso. I am helpless, just as they feel helpless in that moment. Such a small person, such a small stature. 

Let the parents BURN!
