There many people today that have been spank and no negative effect from it. It go to talk about how when a child think about doing anything wrong that think about the pain and it stop them.…
Before we dive too deep into this subject, the term spanking may need to be defined. The definition of spanking is different to each person. The one that will be used throughout this paper is from Merriam Webster. To strike, especially on the buttocks with an open hand. This means that spanking does not include using a belt on a child, or a paddle. Spanking also means no permanent physical damage was sustained during the encounter. If damage is sustained, then it becomes abuse, which is a serious crime and should not be taken lightly. The line between abuse and punishment will be discussed in depth later in the essay. No…

Children who are spanked grow into adulthood with mental and emotional disorders that affect them and those surrounding them for life. Childhood experiences are thought to influence the development of mental health problems later in life. Whether people agree or disagree on spanking research findings from past years, they show at least nine reasons that physical punishment should not be used on children with corporal punishment. The purpose of this paper is to gather information from already completed research to help add a new level of understanding. Many variables play a role in why…
Slap, bang, crack! There goes another spanking. Maybe you think that spanking helps prevent bad and misbehavior from children, but did you think about how it doesn’t help them?

During my dad’s childhood when he would misbehave he would get a swat on the bottom or sometimes a belt to the bottom if that’s what his dad was feeling that night. When being asked why he didn’t spank my sister or I his answer was, “Because it hurt me immensely and I would never put you or your sister through that pain and if I did I don't think I could ever forgive myself”. Children who get swatted or spanked grow up to be understanding like my dad or more aggressive. Usually the case is that the child becomes a more aggressive adult. Researchers at Columbia University say that children who are spanked as early as 5…
“Spanking can escalate toward physical abuse, potentially injuring the child, and can contribute to later emotional and behavioral problems according to the American Academy of Pediatrics” (Parents Lift Their Hands). Children who were spanked frequently absorb this behavior of physically lashing out when they are upset, using force to solve their problems. As the children get older, these aggressive behaviors can become more serious as they begin to exemplify around friends and family. The adults who were admitted to corporal punishments as children are more likely to be involved in domestic violence with their partners (Spank or Not to Spank). The more often children are spanked the more aggressive they will most likely become (When Parents Lift Their…
If a child does something wrong, how do we as people correct it? In the United States, many families seem to think that spanking a child is the way to correct the misdemeanor that the child has committed. If a child bites another child, should the child get spanked? I believe that if a child does something that is known to be wrong, than the child should have some sort of punishment. If a parent does the spanking out of anger, instead of for the purpose of correcting, than I feel as if spanking should be allowed. I personally was spanked as a child, and I knew if I did something wrong I would get it from my mother. I eventually got to the point where when I talked back to my mother I knew I was getting my mouth smacked and feared talking back. These days kids say what they want to their parents and aren’t afraid of doing so. Respect has gone out of the window for most kids, and they don’t even care that they have disrespected their parent. They say what they want, how they want it, and when they want to say it, with no thought of having any consequences to their actions. My immediate thought is, if I said that to my mother, I wouldn’t be able to sit for days, and I learned my lesson quickly. I came from a low income family with my mother being a single parent of 3 children all within 4 years. A lot of publications state that spanking in low class creates a violent outcome in the children. My brother, sister, and myself all have come out to be highly respectable children and have families and children of our own. We all have come from low class to middle class families.…
Jared Pingleton who is a clinical psychologist says “We won’t go wrong if we exercise a firm and consistent hand with a soft and loving heart.” There is a difference between spanking your child out of love and getting out of control and physically abusing your child. Spanking can be an effective discipline option for a parent to get their children away from negative behaviors and guide them to be responsible, healthy, and happy adults. Properly understood and administered, spanking is most effective as a deterrent to undesirable behavior for younger preschoolers (but never for infants). The reason why spanking should never be used for infants is because they don’t know exactly what they are doing right or wrong half the time. Spanking should be completely out of the picture before adolescence as there are other types of consequences. There is a proper philosophy and approach to spanking and it is very important. Punishment and discipline are very opposites. Punishment is motivated by anger and usually focuses on the past this is NO good. Discipline on the other hand is motivated by love for the child and focuses on the future, which is the proper…
Spanking is considered as a punishment, but also a form of child abuse. Such as spanking, a child can not only cause them to be abusive and suicidal, but also fall into extreme depression because of it. According to an article by Parents.com , “ Spanking isn't considered abuse as long as it is…
Some will agree that there is nothing wrong with spanking a child, but some argue that it is wrong. There have been countless arguments over it leading to extreme aggression or emotional troubles. From a psychological stand point there are a few ways to look at it. In modern psychology there are three concepts of learning. None have been proven any more plausible than the others, so taking a look at each one seems to be the best idea.…
