Singer Vo Ha Tram speaks out about the issue of child abuse and her philosophy of raising children without corporal punishment.

The issue of child abuse and heartbreaking stories are becoming a focal point of public attention. As a mother raising two young children, singer Vo Ha Tram was shocked and saddened by the recent incidents. Her posts on her personal page have received great sympathy from the online community, especially parents.

The pain of heartbreaking stories

Vo Ha Tram said she felt a tightness in her chest when she saw the news about the trauma suffered by children as young as 2 and 4 years old. Although not related by blood, the singer deeply felt the pain and psychological trauma these children went through. She offered her prayers and hoped that society would no longer have to witness similar heartbreaking incidents.

Currently, Vo Ha Tram is focusing on caring for her two little angels of Indian descent. Her eldest daughter, Moon (Chaudhary Vaishali), was born in 2021, and her second child, a son, Milo (Chaudhary An Quoc), will be born in 2024. Since becoming a mother, the singer has always prioritized love and care in every stage of her children's development.

Education through empathy

Throughout her parenting career, Vo Ha Tram has been known as a thoughtful and patient mother. Instead of resorting to punishment, she chooses to accompany and explain things to her children so they understand the issues. A notable aspect of her approach is how she handles conflicts between the two sisters. When conflicts arise, the singer doesn't scold or emotionally side with each other, but gently soothes them, then guides them to admit their mistakes and reconcile.

Vo Ha Tram also focuses on building a sense of being an older sister for Moon, teaching her how to love and protect her younger brother. Based on her observations, Moon has a natural instinct to protect those weaker than her, which gives her more peace of mind about the future relationship between the two children.

Reasons for completely abandoning corporal punishment in education.

Vo Ha Tram and her Indian husband agree that they should not discipline their children with corporal punishment. The singer shared that she herself had experienced being punished with corporal punishment in the past and found that this method often backfires on children with strong personalities. According to her, yelling or hitting only makes children more stubborn and distant from their parents.

Instead, she chose to engage in dialogue like friends. When children feel that their parents are a safe haven for understanding, barriers are removed, creating a strong bond within the family. Vo Ha Tram emphasized that parenting requires far more patience than any job outside the home, and love is the key to children learning to understand their parents in return.

Overall, Vo Ha Tram's viewpoint is not only a protest against the problem of violence but also a suggestion for a humane approach to education, where children's rights and individual feelings are respected to the fullest extent.
