9 Ways to Punish a Child That Won’t Damage Their Self-Esteem

According to statistics, almost every single parent is convinced that they are doing the right job raising their children and teaching them lessons. But in fact, it’s not all that simple and smooth. Most of the time, adults can’t control their emotions and punish their children more than they deserve. This, in turn, has negative consequences for the children: they develop fears and stereotypes that make everything harder for them.
We at Bright Side are convinced that nobody likes punishing children, but sometimes it’s absolutely necessary. Recommendations from experts can help us deal with these situations, so we decided to share them with you.

1. If a child didn’t have bad intentions, they shouldn’t be punished.

9 Ways to Punish a Child That Won’t Damage Their Self-Esteem
Most of the time, children aren’t trying to harm anyone, they just want to discover things.

10 Mistakes Most Parents Regret Making

All parents want their children to have the best lives possible. Many of them work in order to be able to buy new toys for them, others are strict because they want their children to be disciplined and goal-oriented, others give their children a choice and teach them to make decisions on their own. Every family has its own ways of upbringing, but there is one thing that all parents have in common: when they look back, they all want to fix some of the mistakes they made in the past.
We at Bright Side are sure that the first years of a child’s life are a magical time that you should enjoy. Because in the future, you might regret some lost opportunities. So, take a look at the things that many parents regret in order to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

1. They didn’t enjoy their communication with their child.

10 Mistakes Most Parents Regret Making
A small child that quickly grows from a baby to a relatively self-sufficient person really needs constant contact with adults. But the truth is, parents need this communication as well. Yes, there is less free time and it’s okay if a mother does something while her child is playing games. But if you turn this into a habit, at some point, you might notice that your child has grown up already and is living their own life.

Top 10 Ways To Dispose Of Your Body After Death

Death is a solemn, often spiritual occasion, but afterward comes the more mundane problem of what to do with the body. Though burial and cremation remain the most common ways to dispose of a corpse, many people have tried to come up with clean, green, cost-effective, and personal ways to dispose of our mortal remains.
But it’s not always as easy as you may think. No matter what method you try, there always seems to be a bit left over. All the same, if you want to go out in a unique way or for your remains to be put to good use, then you may want to consider the following options.

10Float Off Into Space


If you always wanted to be an astronaut, you might want to consider spending eternity as a speck of space dust. For around $2,500, you can send your cremated remains into space. For that, you will receive a custom-made “ash capsule” to hold your ashes. The capsule will then be loaded into a satellite and sent off into the cosmos.[1]
There is even an opportunity to have your name engraved on the satellite as a memorial. After the satellite has reached the end of its life circling the planet, it will burn up on re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere, and your remains will light up the sky as a “shooting star.”
At the moment, however, there is only room on board to take a small portion of your ashes into space. Eventually, it is hoped that technology will allow funeral directors of the future to scatter people’s ashes on the Moon or even fire them into deep space.
If you just fancy a flying visit, however, one company is also offering a service which releases the capsule of ashes with a parachute from the edge of space, so that you can enjoy one last wild ride. Of course, once your remains have landed, your loved ones will be back to square one and will have to figure out what else to do with them.

Top 10 Countries With Bizarre Obsessions

The things people obsess over are usually predictable. Sex, drugs, and alcohol are usual suspects. People may obsess about their weight or about much money they are making and how to make more of it. In country after country, these are common fixations.
However, some countries break the mold and establish new categories for obsession. Whether banal, obscure, or just plain goofy, the following national obsessions make you wonder what exactly is going on in their respective nations.

10Russia Is Obsessed With Not Smiling

Russians are not big on smiling.
With that in mind, psychologist Kuba Kyrs at the Polish Academy of Sciences ran an experiment. He had thousands of people in 44 countries look at a series of eight smiling and non-smiling faces and asked them to assess those people for intelligence and honesty. When the results came in, the Russian participants ranked smiling people low on both intelligence and honesty.[1]
Kyrs’s research also indicated that the more corrupt a society was, the more likely the meaning of a smile was weakened, and the trustworthiness of the person smiling was undercut. And, no surprise, it just so happens that Russia is a very corrupt country. In a 2017 ranking of countries and public sector corruption, Russia finished a dismal 135 out of 180 nations.
