‘A little slap will make them understand they shouldn’t do that’. That’s exactly what most parents say all over the word because basically, corporal punishment is legally acceptable. But is it morally acceptable? Parenting is not nearly as easy as we think it is. Dealing with a child that is going through a tantrum is very difficult and tiring. Many parents, being on the edge of anger, don’t know how they should approach the little child, and they end up hitting them in order to discipline them. But is it that really going to help?

Studies have shown how corporal punishment can lead to serious mental health problems for the child. Even if we don’t think about it, our childhood is what creates the contours of our personality and behavior. Most of the adults would probably say that ‘a little spank won’t affect them in any way’, but we have to keep in mind that every child is different. They could be more sensitive, or be completely ignorant, And but for sensitive children, it can be traumatic. It’s not really just a manner of discipline, but more of a way to install fear inside them and that can easily transform into anxiety. They can also develop anger issues and borrow the same behavior, but in a violent way towards other people.

Over time, that child will slowly distance himself from his parents and he will start hiding and lying to them because of the fear of being beaten.

.............[in concluzie] In conclusion,  to solve problems, parents should consider going inside their child’s mind and trying to find an innovative way to communicate with him and make him understand the mistakes he’s making. In my opinion, corporal punishment is not good in any way, .......and, even if it is minor, it should be less used.
