Spanking


            Discipline is helping children develop self-control, setting limits and correcting misbehavior, and is encouraging children, guiding them, helping them feel good about themselves, and teaching them how to think of them how to think for themselves. Spanking is not a good form of behavior. In fact, it does not teach children how to change what they do, as god discipline should. Some say that spanking is easier than any other form of discipline, but it is not. Children who are hit, often cry louder than before they were spanked. Spanking often leads to more misbehavior. You may notice the child is good for a little while after being spanked, but then revert to their old ways. .
             Hitting a child in any way is always harmful. It threatens a child's basic trust in the world, presents children to unnecessary risks, impresses their fragile psyches in negative ways and makes them angry, resentful, and even more likely to consider violence a legitimate way to resolve conflict. .
             Here are some cons from people who do not spank. Spanking is not only ineffective, but also dangerous. Some say the logic to spanking is so that the child will learn the difference between right and wrong. But children do not develop a sense of what is right or wrong. This causes them to lack on knowledge of reasoning and negotiating. These skills take a lot of practice, and if a child does not learn them, they are more likely to use violence when he or she experiences conflict. Research shows a clear connection between spanking and aggression. We also know that children who are spanked are more likely to practice domestic violence as adults. Spanking has other negative side effects as well. Children who are spanked are at increase risk for depression, and more likely to have problems in school. .
             The most important element of an effective discipline method is prevention. If a parent has a strong bond with the child, and raises them in a loving climate, with attention and support, the child will be inclined to behave at the parent wishes.
