Throughout modern history, people have constantly asked themselves: what is the best way to bring up our children? what should we teach them? and very importantly: should we resort to corporal punishment with them?
I think that minor corporal punishments, when it comes to ones own children of course, should be accepted, since it might serve your child’s education.When it comes to kids, especially this young generation, they might not be very well-behaved or respectful to their parents and other people around, and so maybe it wouldn't do any harm if you were a little aggressive towards them sometimes, if that is the only way they are going to understand.
It's undoubtedly very tricky to figure out what is the good way to raise your children. Initially, when the child is little naughty, maybe it wouldn’t hurt if you would hit their hand a little whenever they are trying to do something harmful, like reach for the electric socket or sharp objects, just so that they can remember that it’s a bad thing to do that. Later on, you can use minor corporal punishment when they are not listening to you or being disrespectful, just enough to let them know that they should listen to you and take you seriously
However, you should not abuse this, since it might make your child be afraid of you, or even become traumatized; it is okay to pull their hand from time to time when it seems that there is no other way they are going to listen, but it has never been and it will never be okay to beat your child.
In conclusion I think that it is very difficult to figure out what the best thing to do really is. We should find a way to impose ourself in front of our kids without beeing too aggressive, and figure out how to be both their friend and the person they are supposed o listen to. (and this is ore of the reasons I find it notably hard to be a parent)
