Band 6.5

Less and less parents these days are smacking their children. Some people think that this is leading to a generation of misbehaved children. Do you agree or disagree with this view?

#parents #children #people #generation
Nowadays,
parents
 are likely to educate their
children
 by not hitting them physically.
This
 probably leads to an assumption in
a

society that
this
 method is creating a misbehaved generation. I completely disagree with
this
 statement because there are indeed many ways
besides
 using physical activity to teach
children
 how to be good. There are a number of reasons why
parents
 hit their
children
 in order to make them obey either home or school rules.
Furthermore
,
this
 kind of education method is happening from generation to generation and becomes a habit. In Indonesia,
for example
, some
parents
 particularly hit their
children
 if they get bad grades or doing mistakes while in school whereas
parents
 could teach their kids in a good manner as well as give them a good example of how to live in a good society in a community.
Moreover
, it could lead to mental health issues for
children
 who always receive a physical attack from
parents
. In order to combat these problems, the
first
 step would be educating the general public about parenting once before they get married. It would perhaps be more effective if the government makes a law about physical abuse, perhaps even enforcing participation by levying a fine against those who still hit their
children
. Overall, it seems that a change of attitude is needed as well as more education given to new
parents
 and society to achieve a better education method to teach
children
 how to be good and bring a lot of benefits to a community.
