The law isn’t very clear about hitting children. It’s known that teachers cannot smack children, but what about parents? You are allowed to use physical punishment to your child if you aren’t very tough, but it’s difficult to know exactly what being very tough means.
On the one hand, some people think that corporal punishment has to be banned since it makes children become violent. On the other hand, many people say that smacking children is the most useful punishment and it has been used by parents many years, so it really works.
In my opinion, there’s no excuse for smacking children. It should be banned, because when you hit a child you are transmitting him/her the idea that hitting is the way to get what you want. For this reason, children learn to solve their problems using violence instead of dialogue. Although smacking children is easier than making them understand why they have been wrong using dialogue, it’ll be more beneficial if you try to speak with him/her.
To sum up, I strongly believe that smacking children is a mistake, as children have to understand that violence is always worse than dialogue, and that everything can be solved in a pacific way.
