Corporal punishment in the home

reasoning and explanation, provide more cognitive benefits to the child than corporal punishment. The cognitive benefits are the ability of children to learn and their motivation to learn. The definition given of cognition by Merriam-Webster is that cognition involves conscious mental activities which include thinking, learning, understanding and remembering. Straus (2001) claims that if parents use physical punishment instead of inductive discipline, the child 's cognitive skills might suffer.…

compliance from a child. On one hand, there is the “old fashioned way” of physical punishment which includes methods like spanking, switching, and swatting, and on the other is complete nonviolent parenting which includes time-outs, verbal chastisement, and privilege constraints. Those who advocate nonviolent parenting argue that physical punishment damages their relationship with the child and those who advocate physical punishment argue that this age old method simply offers unrivaled…

control over in which way they discipline their children however as our society and culture continues to change and adjust to our modern ways of living so should our methods of discipline. Corporal punishment is the formal term used for smacking. Recent evidence displays multiple negative effects of corporal punishment which I will go further into detail throughout this presentation. Here before I start I ask everyone in their room to ask yourself, where is the line between child abuse and…

Although they bear some significant similarities, the differences between The Giver and our world are clear. In Chapter 7 of The Giver, it says, “The punishment used for small children was a regulated system of smacks with the discipline wand….” In the Giver’s world, small children get a smack on hand for their misbehavior for the first offense. On the second offense, three sharper smacks on bare legs. By doing in this way, small children will correct their manner when they are young. So when…

every parent child relationship is different. There is not only one way to parenting children. There are two categorizes I have read in the book so far. Which are negative reinforcement trap and time-out Negative reinforcement trap actually means a punishment for a bad behavior. For example, when you give a kid candy to make them quiet and the kid is actually encouraging to make more noise because they perceive the candy as a reward for the noise. Time- Out is a discipline technique that many…

especially if you are half black was not easy. As a child, I used to wonder why some kids were "my friends" and some were "not." As an adult, I understand now that racism is not something you were born with. It is "taught in our society [especially at home], it is not automatic. It is [a] learned behavior toward [people] with dissimilar physical characteristics" (Alex Haley). Just like my cousin who did not want to play with me when we were little kids and wouldn't touch my hand when we pray…

Clifton Flynn did his research study on the different attitudes of spanking in college students from the south and northeast. Surveys were distributed among the students asking their experiences of getting spanked, their evaluations of their punishments, and their attitudes toward spanking. Over 90% of American parents spank their children and are in favor of spanking their children (Flynn, 1994; Straus, 1991; Wauchope and Straus, 1990). Most studies of spanking in the past rely on parents '…

Individuality lets every person be different from each other. It is shown in the Ayn Rand novella Anthem, the people in this society are taught at a young age that it is not okay to disobey the set rules. If they do not follow the way the society’s rules were supposed to be followed, they are punished. The main character, Equality, feels guilty for having the thoughts he has. These rules exist in this society to strip human individuality to achieve total equality. It is a struggle for anyone…

positive and respectful manner, but also include the punishment and power enforcements commonly used as discipline that affect dramatically children’s development, conduct, and emotional wellness; therefore, there are significant differences between implementing the time-out technique (a brief suspension of activity; intermission or break) and the physical approach of spanking (to strike, a child with the open hand, on the buttocks, as in punishment). The time-out method establishes specific…
