Is physical punishment Necessary For Children

The have been big change in the attiudes of most parents over the last few years. Very few paarents wouls ageww with using force regularly as a way of dealing with discipline problems in their childrend. Physicl punishmen is banned in schools in most countries, and in many countris, there are move to ban all corporal punishment of children even in the home. However, many parents still belive that thy have a right to use some physical punishment to deal with certain misvehaviors at certain agess. This eassy will ask if some physical punishment is acceptable and will ask how parent can know what the limits are.
It is easy to find reasons to allow some physical punishment. One issue is that many parents find it very difficult to abandon physical punishment completely. Parent argue that this was the way they wete brought up thenselves and that it didn't do any harm to them. Thay belive that for the child's sake that they have the right to discipline the child in any way they see fit, including uding corpral punishment can be piuck abnd effective: there is not much point reasoning with a screaning child in the supermarhurting theire children by using unneccessary physical forve.

There are several reasion however why we should stop using physical punishment even in the home. One point is that most parents are not trained to deal with misvehaveng children. they do not have eough resources or choices to handle the situation. As a tesult, they immediatelu react by smacking or hitting the child, even if there ate other solution to the problem. Another point it is that unless people are chillnged or forved to change their beliefs they immediateley react by smacking or hitting the child, even if there are other soutions to the problem. Another point is that unliess people are chellenged or forced tochang their beliefs they may keep following negative habits. An example is seatbelt use - now will allow people wear seat belts without thinking, wherea years ago the idea of using safety belts was strange to most people. In the same way a cycle of veolenve. However, the most obvious reason for banning all physial punishment of chldren to pervend chill abuse. If all perents are allowed to hit their chilldren in the name of disipline, some parnt will go too far and will inflict severe emotinnal and physical damage on their chidren. It may only be a minority of parents, but we neet ot protect all our children.

In conclusion, paents have to change some of thier belifs and ideas about how children should be raised. It is possile ti avoid the use of physical force in the home, and doing so will help us move closer to drean of removeing violence from our society.
