Spanking Is Not An Effective Way Of Education

Decent Essays
Hello Tracy, I really like to hear you opinion about spanking, I completely agree with you that spanking is not an effective way of education, as you mention parents are there to guide children to the right path. By spanking their children parents are just showing how superior they are but violence leads to violence and maybe they do not even notice that they are giving children the wrong example of education, instead of guiding them to the right path. In my opinion I would not like my children to be adults and hit their children and partner just because that what they saw when they were

    A significant amount of emphasis is placed on what the child gains from being spanked on a deeper and more meaningful level when parents do follow healthy guidelines. Children learn that they must be responsible for their actions. By asking them why they made the choice that they did, they have to own up to their mistakes and eventually admit and come to the realization that what they did was wrong. Along with this, once what was done wrong is recognized by the child, sincere remorse follows. While this sounds burdensome and heavy, it’s part of learning.…

    Now I believe a child needs a spanking every once in awhile when they act a fuss, if you let kids run the household with empty threats, and soft punishments, they learn no respect, and I believe sets them up for a life filled with let downs, and false entitlements that may lead them to a life on the street. Narrtio Clearly, the majority of parents say they spank their kids. Certain factors increase the likelihood of spanking, like geographic location (children in the South are spanked the most), family income (less money means more spanking), race (African-American mothers spank their children more than other ethnic groups) and religion (parents with more fundamentalist in their religious beliefs spank more than those who are less so). Also most people don't agree on what spanking actually is.…

    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.…

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…

    In disciplining children, parents should do everything as kindly and gently as they can first. They should try to understand a child, make sure the child understands what is expected of them, use reasoning and find an adequate nonphysical consequence, like a "timeout" or taking away privileges. But if the child won't cooperate, some kids — at least some of the time — need something more forceful to back it up. b) Establishes Respect Many kids who grew up getting spank by their parents are more respectful to adults c) Disciplinary Tool When used correctly, spanking is safe and effective, and can be an appropriate tool for parents.…
