Parents Should Not Spank Kids

Decent Essays
I believe that parents should not spank there kids when they are doing something "wrong". The thing is to drive foolishness out. You have to remember this is discipline and it is not supposed to be cruel punishment. It is for them to learn something is wrong, its not for you. I don't think you should ever, ever, discipline out of anger. Even if you are extremely upset or pissed at what your child has done. You can be angry but hitting is not doing anything but hurting your child, in my eyes. When you get that respect you want from your child it says you did something right in parenting. If you jerk that child up, scaring them and giving them a whack with something on the back, butt or any part of the body you are intentionally smacking out of anger and emotion. It's not about beating …show more content…
They would tell me and my brothers what not to do or what we were doing wrong. My dad would in a deeper tone, tell us "Hey, that's not right or not nice". What kid would wanna be told they were not nice. I believe that is better for kids growing up in this generations because all you ever hear about in the news and on the television is about couples going through some kind of domestic violence and that's what they grew up on. Teaching the younger kids its okay to hit people whenever you feel like it, or whenever you get mad. I was taught my hands always are kept to myself. I truly think that when you get hit as a kid or screamed at you carry that trait on in your relationships down the road, and think my family did it to me so it should be okay to do, when in reality it is not at all. Parents need to start checking the way they discipline their kids and realize in this day and age it is not acceptable you keep your hands to yourself. If and when someone does touch you and you don't agree you go to someone to let them know about it. More people need to be aware, especially if they want the same respect in

Both of these programs offer close and personal support to both the parents and the children. It is very important that both the adults and kids are involved because both require very different needs when it comes to support. The Healthy Families program is designed for first-birth parents.

    In contrast to what the world says, with the preceding understanding of course, there is a time to spank our children. The Bible is clear on this point. "He who spares his rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him promptly" (Prov. 13:24). It's a loving thing to spank our children in appropriate circumstances. If we don't, they're in danger of continuing down a path that becomes more dangerous over time and leads to destruction.…

    So to answer Duke 's question, we shouldn 't use spanking or any other kind of corporal punishment on children because they are learning from their experience and we shouldn 't teach them that violence is the appropriate way to get the things you want.

    Spanking should be used to express only wanting the best for the child. All children don’t respond the same to every punishment tactic. Using other forms of discipline such as time outs, having consequences, or harder jobs around the house could also be good ideas to discipline the child. Spankings could be done after trying other options but disciplining a child is very…

    I agree, in my opinion spanking your child can be an effective way to administer punishment especially if the child is caught in the act of doing something wrong; but I think that if you were to spank the child a while after he or she has already done something wrong it would not be as effective as being caught in the act. As a child, I can remember when my parents would give me a spanking for something I did wrong and most of the time if they caught me in the act and punished me right then and there it stuck better in my head. For example, when I was around 9 years old my dad taught me how to hunt for doves every season we would hunt doves and shoot them.…

    For many years, much controversy has surrounded the ethics behind the “appropriate” means of discipling children. In years past, spanking was found to be both an appropriate and effective tool for teaching children right from wrong. Forms of spanking have even been implemented in schools and classrooms as appropriate measures for teachers to take in the event a child were disrespectful or acting out in class. In order to analyze the perceived agreement or disagreement of spanking as a useful tool of discipline, we will examine data that shows a comparison between different levels of agreement to spanking, next to a sample of religious preferences. To look more specifically into this topic, we will examine this question: “What role does religious…

    The furry which build up within the child from being hit provides them with the ability to think hitting is acceptable. This is where the rebellious, aggressive children come from.
