There is a huge difference between spanking and beating. Research shows that 40% of people believe its wrong and 60% think its okay to spank a child. I am on of those 60% because children need to learn not to ignore their parents,act out in school,public,or in general. Those who believe that spanking is wrong say that it’s teaching your child that its okay to hit others that’s not true,it…
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.…
I’m not saying that we’re perfect but we’re not disrespectful or rude. I have also been around many people who have told me that they were spanked as a child and they turned out alright. So if we exclude physical abuse, spanking is a good from of discipline. I have been around children who were not spanked as children and they can sometimes be very disrespectful and…
The Spanking Controversy Four out of five Americans believe it is “sometimes appropriate” to spank a child (Horton). Does painful punishment build a better person? Over the years, there has been a lot of back and forth controversy over whether or not it is an acceptable form of punishment for parents to spank their children. This subject is interesting because I have a 3 year old son who is wild and crazy, and sometimes does not do as he is told.…
It taught me that every decision you make will always have an effect on you for a long time no…
There are different opinions based on this topic that causes an up roar in cultures and different regions of the U.S. I express my opinions throughout the paper solely on personal experiences as a child. Most parent prefer not to spank their children or kid because some think it could cause aggression within the child by demonstrating violent…
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…
There is a huge debate in today’s society about whether or not spanking is an acceptable form of punishment and discipline. I believe that spanking is a great way to discipline children, and I believe that there are many positive results of disciplining children by spanking them. Discipline should be very important to a parent. When trying to raise children, parents must teach their children the difference between wrong from right. When children do something right, they should be rewarded.…
When raising a child, it is ultimately the responsibility of the parents to teach their children right from wrong. There are many different methods of disciplining a child. Some are viewed as more “acceptable” than others. Whether parents chose the more “acceptable” method, such as a time out, or the less “acceptable” method of spanking, both are trying to teach discipline. Webster’s dictionary defines spanking as “to strike on the buttocks with an open hand” (O’Callaghan 2).…
In “The Great Spanking Debate”, Benjamin Siegel, M.D. says, “There’s no reason to get physical with a child when other discipline tactics are more effective.” For example, there are alternative tactics such as verbal reprimands, taking away privileges, and timeouts to deal with misbehavior. Doctors have found that spanking can cause increased anxiety, higher risk of aggression, depression, relationship problems, and a number of other mental health related problems. Furthermore, a 2009 Ohio State University study shows that women who were punished physically during childhood are 50 percent more likely to discipline their children the same way. As a result, children learn from their parents and…
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.…
Why Spanking is the Worst Punishment This article talks about spanking and physical discipline in general and if it truly works or not. In the beginning the author talks about how many people are spanked as kids and most of them turn out fine. The author also talks about how most parents spank but only on special occasion. They save it for when the child has done something very bad.…
Studies have showed that time-out and room isolation is just as effective as a spanking on the behind or a physical hold on a child (Larzelere). It also shows that those who were spanked have a probability of abusing and hitting others just because they think that it is okay and that they are bigger and not know any better. It was done to them so they think that they can do it to others (Jenny). Just because one spank a child once does not means that it always works. “Suppose a child is spanked and then repeats a behavior, research shows that this happens just as often as when a parent simply says no and the child does the action again” (Straus).…
A parent spanking his or her child can be very beneficial. I state that because: it will install a certain level of respect, stop them from doing something dangerous, and it can be an alert. First, a simple spanking from the child’s parent can install a certain level of respect. By parents spanking their children it allows the child to know who is in charge.…
Effectiveness of “Time-Out” as a “Punishment” for Children “Time-out” is a disciplinary technique that has been used by parents for many generations. Time-out is one of many forms of punishment that King (2008) defines as a consequence that decreases the likelihood that a behavior will occur. I strongly agree with Zolten and Long (2006), the authors of “Time-Out as a Discipline Technique”, that time- out can be a very effective form of punishment in decreasing various problem behaviors seen in children if used appropriately and correctly. Behaviors such as hitting, temper tantrums, not following directions, back talking, doing something dangerous or something that could be potentially dangerous are appropriate circumstances in which the time-out…
