I want to look at both sides of this situation. Is it beneficial, or non beneficial to spank your child? Is It Appropriate to Spank a Child? I think anyone can understand why this has…

A cute little child is playing in the park, not even worried about a thing. The child is smiling and running around having fun. But when the child goes home, the child gets yelled at, hit and beaten up by his own parents for no reason. He ends up with bruises, and cuts all around his body crying in pain and fear. Is that something a child deserves? Absolutely not! There is a difference between the abuse and discipline. Often parents try hard to raise a well mannered and a well disciplined child.…

are visible to the naked eye. It can go skin deep and until a bruise is shown, abuse will not be reported. But the question remains unanswered about whether or not spanking is a form of abuse.

Now spanking is viewed as an act, which causes consequences later within the child’s life. Externalizing behaviors become prominent because of spanking and lead to later implications of distraught for both the parents and the child. Spanking should no longer be…

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.
