In many societies, some
parents
 are arrested and being punished by the local government as they educate their
children
 through physical
punishment
 is considered a form of abuse. From my perspective, in order to restrict
children
's bad behaviours,
punishment
 from their
parents
 are needed as long as they are not too much. In many societies, some
parents
 are arrested, and being punished by the local government as they physically punish their
children
 is considered a form of abuse. From my perspective, in order to restrict
children
's bad behaviours,
punishments
 from their
parents
 are needed as long as they are not too much. Some people believe that if
parents
 physically punish their son or daughter, it will leave negative effects both physical and psychological on
children
.
Firstly
, excessive corporal retributions will leave scars on youth's bodies, while those
punishments
 keep their mind stay in high tension.
For example
, scientists suggested hitting will decrease the mental development of
children
 since a peaceful and quiet environment is the best study atmosphere for students and beating only make them angry and scare.
Hence
,
parents
 ought to limit all kinds of physical
punishment
 to protect the physical and mental health of their
children
. On the flip hand, it does not mean all the
punishment
 is bad for
children
's growth. Juniors will restrict their wrong behaviours in the future after being punished by it. Because those
punishments
 make them think twice before taking any actions, where the discipline reminds them about the consequences.
For instance
, a Chinese child department interviewed adults on the street and over seventy per cent of them said they are afraid to commit bad things again after receiving the
punishment
 when they were teenagers.
Therefore
, these
punishments
 are necessary for education if they are not too harsh for little
children
. In conclusion, it is true that physical
punishments
 indeed help
children
 to grow as better people in societies,
nevertheless
, they are not supposed to be too strict as they leave marks on
children
's minds.
