If a child does something wrong he/she should be yelled at and punished. If that child continues to do the same thing after being told not to then it would be alright to hit them. However, the parent needs to realize that they are children and not use excessive force. I don't think that it is right to "beat up" your children, as a parent you must realize how much stronger you are than the child. Before my mom and dad got divorced, I knew that if I did something wrong I was going to get hit. Knowing the consequences of my actions, I would think before doing things that could get me in trouble. Some kids are really hard to handle and many ignore you if you yell at them. I am not a mother so I am not sure if my opinion will change, but people shouldn't be looked down upon if they hit their children, it doesn't mean their bad parents. Older generations used to get hit everytime they did something wrong. If you hit a child it is now considered child abuse. I did not get hit everytime I did something wrong, only when I did something really bad. As a parent you have to be fair, you can't hit your child over everything. Not only is it wrong, but the child will become less afraid of being hit and then he/she wont listen to anything. I know a lot of people don't agree with me, but this is my opinion and I honestly don't think that it is wrong to hit your children if they deserve it.Jessica Liskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15819785942327121834noreply@blogger.com
