Physical Punishment



In my opinion physical punishment is not good for children. This punishment leaves negative points in the memory of the child.

Firstly, according to psychologists, hitting children can be harmful for their development. If abused children are not confident, they will be scared from everything, can't make right decisions. Also children lose some IQ and can become bullies themselves, hitting everyone with the same method that their parents used.

Secondly, new research shows that physically abusing children when parents are angry can lead to a huge and serious physical damage. It causes injuries and if the parents don't restrain themselves they can cause brain damage or death, for example if the dad slaps his child and pushes him without any control, the child can fall on something and cause a big problem, like brain damage.

Thirdly, it has also been proven that using physical punishment does not work with children. When you do it many times, children get used to it and it will be a normal punishment and won't be scared. So, the child becomes more rebellious and says:"Ah! My parents are going to hit me and that is normal". Also<>

For these reasons, I propose to have some meetings to teach the parents how to choose the good way to punish their children, because the physical punishment is not a good way with children.
