Spanking When your child becomes a terror and you have no way to control them, should you consider spanking them?

In this paper I am going to give my personal opinion about spanking a child. I also hope to have some facts, and statistics to go along with my opinion. My goal for this paper is for you (the reader) to have a basic understanding of the subject, and for you to have your own opinion once you are done reading. 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.…

Debate Between Whether or Not Spanking Should be Outlawed Spanking or physically laying your hand on your child in a form of discipline which seems to be one of the controversial issues of today, more coined as abuse. When the word abuse comes to mind people seem to think that a scar or bruise has to be visible but not all forms of abuse 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…

We conducted a survey that consisted of ten questions regarding one’s thoughts on spanking children in general. Our participants ranged from the ages of eighteen to forty-five. Sixty percent of the participants of this survey were parents, and the other forty percent were not yet parents. Questions in our survey consisted of asking if they simply believed in spankings, whether they were spanked as children, and how they believed spankings should be given if they believed in spanking a child. We…

While I do agree that there is a correlation between the child’s inborn temperament (discussed on page 188-187) and environmental influences that triggers aggressive behaviors among children, I still believe that aggression is a learned behavior, and the BOBO Doll experiment explains it all. I have seen many pieces of evidence of learned behaviors in my children and other people's children. For example, first of all, I know that yelling is as bad as spanking, so I try very hard not to. However,…

Times change drastically within the world today compared to back in the early ages. Spanking young children was the main source of discipline, before the later 1900’s and early 2000’s although it is still used in some households today. 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. 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.…

The book Why Spanking Doesn’t Work, lists eleven undesirable side effects of spanking their children. The first undesirable side effect is that spanking a child will lower their self-esteem which in turn can send the message that the child is of little value to the parent who spanked them. The next undesirable side effect of spanking is that it will create a display of bad feelings in children which can in turn have a feeling of emotional distress and lower the well-being of the child. A third…

The sociologic topic that interests me is the impact of spanking, or corporal punishment, on children. On social media, I continually see people posting a meme that says “My parents spanked me as a child - as a result I now suffer from a psychological condition known as “Respect for Others”.” The meme is usually shared and followed by comments about how true the statement is and how “kids these days” need more spankings. This interests me because I personally think that we cannot predict how a…
