smacking children is the best form of discipline. to what extend do you agree or disagree?

It is sometimes argued that parents should hit their children in order to have an effective nurturing process. I completely disagree with

this

statement and believe that

this

kind of upbringing could have two major drawbacks that would be mentioned in

this

essay.

Firstly

, smacking children or any other kinds of harsh punishments are considered destructive, due to their impacts on child's health.

In other words

, intense punishing could lead to physical and even mental disorders. A clear example of

this

phenomenon can be seen in social media. There is news about infants being tortured with the excuse of instruction. In these kinds of news, the physical damage is apparent.

However

, the major problem is laid in the subsequent effects on the children's minds. These kids would in turn confront significant mental issues namely depression, low self-confidence and even acute psychological problems.

This

way,

in addition

to their present sufferings, their prospects are

also

influenced by the method they are treated. As well as health-related disorders,

this

method is known to be a defeated one. There is significant evidence, which reveals that improper punishments not only convince offspring to obey their parents

but

also

encourage them to repeat the forbidden action but in secret. The results of a recent study on

this

type of nurturing showed that in 70% of cases, they did the same action they were punished for.

Moreover

,

this

research illustrated that the aim of repeating their bad habits was just to revenge their punisher.

That is

why smacking not only does not work but

also

accentuates the problem. In conclusion,

although

hitting is said to be beneficial in some families, it has adverse impacts on both well-being and manner of offspring. In my opinion,

this

way of upbringing is inefficient and destructive and the ones who act their kids

this

way should be treated as criminals.
