Band 7

In some countries, parents who hit or otherwise punish children physically can be arrested and punished themselves. What is your opinion?

#countries #parents #children
In recent years, there are still some
children
 who are suffering from physical
punishment
 from their
parents
, even if
this
 situation has decreased significantly. Obviously, it has a detrimental effect on
children
 and
thus
 some people think these
parents
 should be arrested and punished. Personally, I do not agree with
this
 idea. From my perspective, it is understandable that
parents
 hit their
children
 in some extreme situations where
children
 are so naughty and condemns in languages have fail to function. And sometimes,
parents
 are
also
 under huge pressure from work in the fast paced times. Those factors are much easier to make
parents
 lose their temper and punch their own
children
. Admittedly, the out-of-control
punishment
 has some negative effects on the young:
such
 as bullying others or developing anti-social behaviour.
Nevertheless
, I do not think they should be imprisoned.
Instead
, other social resources should be accessible to
parents
 to deliver some effective and feasible approaches. To be more specific, governments could allocate part of tax revenue to set up some parenting projects where adults could learn some theories and practices to educate and guide their kids.
In addition
, media should
also
 shoulder the responsibility for publicising correct education values to
parents
: imparting values or punishing with doing housework,
instead
 of solely physical
punishment
. In conclusion, I do not think adults should be arrested because of their
punishment
 to their
children
. At the same time, we should not ignore the terrible impact on growing
children
, so governments and media should organise some parenting projects and spread right education values.
