He continues on citing the source from 2011, National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (NAPNA) issued a statement noting that corporal punishment is a serious risk to childhood development, that can cause antisocial behavior and gives the children a greater chance of being violent in their adulthood. He adds another similar source after that by the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, in a statement released in 2012 that explains even though corporal punishment might modify the behavior for the time being, it doesn’t fix the behavior over time and it can lead to increased aggressive behavior and less appropriate…
This is because being over-permissive gives the child the impression that everything that he or she does, and the decisions he or she makes are all right. Furthermore, another major reason behind the failure of spanking as a disciplinary method is that it is excessively utilized. Research suggests that utilizing spanking as the only method for disciplinary teaching shows authoritarian or negative attitude of the parents (Trumbull, 2006). It is often documented in secondary sources that disciplinary teaching must comprise of a complete plan, and spanking should only represent a single component of that particular plan. Administration of spanking as retaliation has always been noted to create negative…
A quote by Ashley Montagu says, “Any form of corporal punishment or 'spanking' is a violent attack upon another human being's integrity. The effect remains with the victim forever and becomes an unforgiving part of his or her personality.” Spanking, also known as corporal punishment, is a controversial topic. Parents, researchers, and other professional/nonprofessional audiences, debate whether or not using corporal punishment is the most effective form of discipline. There are three leading views on this topic: pro-corporal punishment, anti-corporal punishment, and those who are neutral, also known as the conditional corporal punishment perspective (Kazdin and Benjet 100).…
The Daily Toreador at Texas Tech University also writes, “When dealing with children, physical punishment is sometimes necessary to teach right from wrong. Probably like most of us, I was spanked as a child and quickly corrected my actions. Simply being admonished not to do something, I probably did it anyway. Scolding is an ineffective way to discipline your children, even more so in a society where we want it and we want it now.” (The Daily Toreador, 2014, Pg.2) Also depending on the child and the circumstance at hand, spanking is sometimes all that will get the child´s attention.…
I believe corporal punishment is an effective way of raising behaved children only if it is doing it the right way. I my be a bad mom, but I have had the principal give my son pops a couple of times, because of his behavior. I am a single parent and there is not a man in his life and when I give him pops at house sometime it works and sometimes it don’t. I was a little worried about the first time that the principal gave my son pops and I’m think that it would be impossible to give him pops, but the couple times that he was given pops my son told him the truth about what happen and stood and got his pops cried a little and went on about his business.…
Jim Rohn once said, “Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishments”(Jim Rohn) but when does discipline become abuse? Disciplining children after a misbehavior, is a typical and normal method, that can teach children of their wrong-doing. Nevertheless, some parents become blind to the fact that too much discipline, can lead to the point where it can actually become child abuse. The article “Child Discipline”, announced that, “In twenty-nine countries and territories surveyed, an average of eighty-six percent of children ages 2-14, experienced violent discipline at home” .This mistreatment develops when a parent or guardian, takes out improper anger on a child rather than educating the child on what is appropriate and not appropriate…
Reduced prefrontal cortical gray matter value in young adults exposed to corporal punishment is a study done by Akemi Tomoda, Hanako Suzuki, Karen Rabi, Yi-Shin She, Ann Polcari, and Martin H. Teicher. This study was published in March 2009 and had the objective to see how harsh corporal punishment during a persons childhood changes the brain structure and specifically the amount of gray matter volume. They clearly drew guidelines on the differences between harsh corporal punishment (HCP) and corporal punishment (CP). They stated that spanking was an acceptable form of CP as long as it was done with ones hand and did not extend to areas other than the butt, arms, and legs, and did not cause any injury.…

Every child, every parent, and every situation is different, the punishment that follows than should also be different. One way is Corporal punishment, but it is not a fix all, therefore should not be used for everything and all the time, but it is a good tool to use once in a while.

Taking away the rights of a parent to use every tool they have from theses situation makes it harder to handle them. While not all parents should use corporal punishment, all parents should have the choice to make that decision.…
Corporal Punishment: Cruel and Unusual Corporal punishment is defined by Merriam-Webster as a punishment intended to cause physical pain on a person. This was the typical form of punishment used by slave owners. They would use this form of punishment to make the slaves fear them to keep the slaves under their control. They needed this amount of control to deter the slaves from revolting and causing an uproar because of the harsh ways they were treated. During that time in our history the slave owners would take the slave that they felt was disobedient, disrespectful or causing a problem and punish them.…

When we are children, our parents strive to shape us into the best people we can be. Sometimes, the things they do upset us and we don’t understand their goal. Whatever their go-to action for bad behavior, parents only mean the best for their kids. Some parents take the calm approach of time-outs and grounding from favorite activities, while other parents take the approach of spanking/swatting. Some parents only use spanking as a last resort, while others use it multiple times daily.…
I am talking to you today with a lot of hurt about what has made us lose several of our brothers, disabled some of our sisters and injured a lot of our children. I am talking to you today with a scar in my thigh and a scar in my head and an excruciating near death experience I can never forget. In a lot of places, many people view corporal punishment as the ultimate and most efficient form of punishment. People have thought for a long time that flogging a child mercilessly would dissuade them from any action that would result to them being beaten.…
People against corporal punishment say that kids need to be self-disciplined as opposed to being cooperative out of fear, but it's not in this age, and it more about their personality. For example, a kid burns themselves on a stove. They know what happens if you touch the burner and won't ever do it again. Does that necessarily mean that they're going to stay a good 50 feet from a stove for the rest of their lives because they're scared to get burned? No! People will feel fear about the mistake , it only teach them not to do it again, if we used another way to teach them , we tell them why we need to not doing the mistake again , it will more better, and they will know how to filter the right and wrong.…
