Smaking children is the best form of discipline. To what extend do you agree or disagree.

Physical

punishment

has become more and more ubiquitous among parents these days as an efficient way to ensure discipline. These parents believe that smacking is necessary for developing good behaviour.

This

essay will argue that corporal

punishment

is completely unneeded to raise well-behaved

children

. Some people have always believed that the perfect way to control rebellious non-obedient

children

is by inflicting physical pain on them.

This

type of

punishment

is most likely to make youngsters remember and fear the consequences of their ill-mannered behaviours. It

also

controls some

children

's tantrums and those who are stubborn and do not relent to slight punishments.

For example

, parents can resort to smacking if the

children

have a repetitive uncontrolled outburst of anger whenever they can't get what they want.

Therefore

, some individuals hold that

this

parenting style reinforces good manners.

However

,

this

kind of belief is completely preposterous and does not contribute to anything except damaging the mental health of

children

.

In other words

, youngsters have different ways of expressing themselves, even if the method used can seem unacceptable to others, they are communicating their worries through it, so oppressing them using violence

instead

of trying to understand the hidden messages will definitely have detrimental and unfortunately sometimes irreparable damage on their personalities as well as their psychological well-being.

For instance

, a study proved that

children

who have been exposed to physical pain as a form of

punishment

are more likely to develop personality disorders. Overall, the idea of inflicting pain on

children

is actually an attempt to silence and make them submissive which is not a civilized act. In conclusion,

this

essay argued that people who deem smacking their

children

to be the best form of discipline are in fact trying to oppress them

instead

of understanding. In my opinion, resorting to corporal

punishment

is an entirely unjustified and completely unacceptable form of raising

children

.

Hence

, I totally disagree.
