b. Spanking has been a major factor in our society over the years. Spanking has been known to be the most effective way to managing behavior. Some people think that if you don’t spank your children, they will grow up being disrespectful and disobedient. However, some parents believe that spanking their children is the wrong form of discipline. Also some people think that if you don’t spank your children they are at a higher risk of going to jail.
c. I believe that spanking your child is a good form of discipline. When a child is growing up, he or she doesn’t really know right from wrong. A child can try to get away with almost anything. But if you enforce spanking, that child will eventually learn right from wrong. Many parents try to communicate with their kids and tell them that they are misbehaving. That method doesn’t seem to have an effect on children. Plus you should never apologize to them because they have to know …show more content…
who’s in charge.
d. I know growing up in my household; I would try to sneak Band-Aids out of the store. My mom would always tell me to always ask if I wanted anything, but I loved the thrill of being sneaky. So one day she looked in my coat pocket and found a box of Sesame Street Band-Aids, after we had left the store. She was furious with me and decided to spank me. At that time I was mad at her and I thought that she was wrong for spanking me, but as I got older I realized that I should have been punished. I think that if I hadn’t been punished when I was younger that I would try to steal things today.
e. Spanking can help in many ways. It can teach a child to have great manners and learn the right things to do. This day in age, kids are all around us. You can’t go to the grocery store and not see a child being spanked or crying because they want something. It is an embarrassment for parents to be out somewhere and their child is acting up or throwing a temper tantrum. Other parents would begin to question their parenting skills. When I was a child I learned that spanking would always be used to keep me from doing the wrong thing and I don’t feel that my mother was wrong for choosing that form of discipline. As a parent she had a duty of teaching me to be respectful and obedient, and I think that other parents should do the same.

When some kids get away with things when they are younger, they think that they can do the same thing when they get older. But, when u get older you have more consequences. Even if your parents decided not to spank you or punish you, one way or another you will be punished if you break the law. Many people believe that the way you raise your child has a lot to do with the way they turn out and if your child turns out to always be in trouble with the law, they begin to question the parents.
g. There is a big difference between spanking a child and beating a child. I believe that spanking should consist of tapping on the hand, spanking the buttocks, pinching, and small punishments of that nature. I am against parents using other objects to beat that child or physically punching or beating that child. When it comes to beating a child, that would be considered child abuse and parents can go to jail. Also abusing a child can cause them to be aggressive when they get older and abuse their spouse or children in the
future.
h. I remember reading a book called, “A Child Called It”. This book was based upon a true story. It was about a good kid, but his mom would constantly beat him. No matter what he did, he was always abused. His mother would even make him drink ammonia. She cut his arms and legs with knives. Even after all of the beatings that he received he still turned out to be a successful adult. That is not the correct form of discipline.
i. Many parents think that spanking can cause that child to be more violent as they get older. Parents think that as their child gets older they will have some type of anger towards them. Some parents are even scared to spank their children. If they weren’t spanked as children they don’t feel that they should spank their kids because they developed into adults without it. Parents feel that there are other ways to discipline their children but sometimes that doesn’t work because no child is the same.
j. These are some of the reasons why I believe in spanking children. Start disciplining your children while they’re young, don’t beat them to death. As long as that child is living in your house, they should obey your rules and respect you regardless of what disciplinary act you decide to enforce. Kids are going to treat their kids how they’ve been treated. If you discipline your child and teach them from right and wrong, then maybe it wouldn’t be so much happening in our society. Don’t give up on your kids, discipline them, and teach them. If nothing else works, put it in the Lord’s hands.
