Punishment for Childeren Is Ti Good or Bad
As children grow up, does punishment affect children in a better or a worse way?

Punishing children differs from country to country. Some parents choose to punish their children while the others take the term "punishment" as physical and mental abuse. According to the story "Golden Mountain" by Irene Kai, Margaret raised her children strictly as possible by punishing them with the green stick when they have done something wrong and sometimes her children were even beaten up for no reason. Also, by reading the chapters "Mother" and "Oi Ling," it seems that the children had to put up with a painful life that they had no freedom for themselves. As the reader, it was painful to read how Oi Ling and her sisters got beat up, but it seems that after all the punishments that they got from their mother they turned out to be better as adults. At the end of Margaret's life, she was not alone as Wong Oi did; she had her daughters with her and did not felt alone when she died. As a child from a different country, I was punished by my parents as a child, but I did not had to go through a hard life as Oi Ling and her sisters did. I believe parents should punish their children, but not as hard as Margaret did for her children. Parents should punish their children for a limit and should consider about their children's feelings as well. Comparing children who have been punished by their parents with children who weren't punished by their parents it shows that, children who are punished by their parents have more respect and care for their parents. Also, children will not only respect their parents, they would also respect every adult and also keep up the respect for their elders even after they become adults. By looking at our current society, most parent's end up in retirement homes because their children doesn't care for them or doesn't have respect for them. Parents need to make sure that they earn respect from their children, but also need to make sure that they

    Children need to be disciplined because it they are not, they will run rapid. However, some parents or adults cross the fine line between discipline and child abuse. Some people believe that there is no place for physical discipline but children need firm discipline. When children are only told “no” they just ignore the parent and continue with what they are doing. Parents need to be able to discipline their child but they also need to know where disciplinary begins and when child abuse begins.…

    There must be a concern for the negative effects of physical punishment of children's undesirable behavior. One main concern is that abusive parenting is a model that children adopt an acceptable method of parenting their own children. There is certainly a correlation between children who have been subject to harsh physical punishment and children who grow up to be abusive adults. Also, modeling violent behavior for children strains relationships they have with others. It is generally seen that children raised with violent punishment are more violent in thee relationships with others. They are classically conditioned to see fear as a source of pain and know that this can be used to benefit them, as they have seen their parents use it. This is a side effect of classical conditioning of fear. There are many other negative side effects of physical punishment in children as well.…

    Simple physical punishments; such as pinching, flicking, and spanking, are carried out on us at a very young age, and all throughout life. Our parents are here to discipline us, to teach us the difference of right and wrong. When we first misbehave, our parents might tell us to “knock it off” or “stop” and they may raise their voice when asserting these commands. We sometimes stop when told to, but sometimes we ignore their commands and keep misbehaving repeatedly. This is where physical punishment comes into play. A form of physical punishment would and will be carried out on us. At first it may be a simple punishment, but gradually the punishments intensify. Once a punishment has been carried out, many of us become cloaked in fear of punishment and from this fear we learn not to do that mistake again. Simple punishment is used for the good of children and to discipline them, “Dr. David Safir, father of five and grandfather of five, CNN asked him to talk to us about his views on spanking. He said he was spanked as a child, spanked his own children when necessary and believes the occasional use of physical punishment -- not abuse -- can be an effective tool for parents” (Zeidler) If these simple punishments are executed out…

    As previously mentioned, if the punishment is not harsh enough the result is repeated offense. If a criminal relishes in committing a crime and the court system does not properly punish them for it, then they actually have no reason not to repeat the crime over again. The National Institute of Justice, part of the U.S department of Justice, studied how likely criminals are to relapse after being released, claiming that “Within five years of release, about three-quarters (76.6 percent) of released prisoners were rearrested” (Durose, Cooper, and Howard). This statistic proves that there is a significant chance that a criminal will indeed carry out the same action as before. The most significant way that an offender is punished is through what…

    Physical punishment has a negative psychological impact on the child or children. Stephanie Lyon’s article “The Psychological Affects of Spanking Children” presents the idea that when you spank your kid you begin to devalue the parent-child communication, meaning that the child will become less social with their parents. She explains that corporal punishment puts a certain distance between the spanker and the spanked because the child may start to feel afraid of the parent(Lyon). This could be detrimental in home situations where the parent-child relationship may already be strained, such as single parent homes or blended families. Also some children are forgivingly resilient and bounce back without a negative impression on mind or body, for others it hard to love the hand that hits them and will often drive the parent and child farther apart from each other. The child starts to lose trust and begins to see the parent in a different way.…

    Children cannot possibly benefit from “discipline” in the form of punishment. Simply put, punishment is disrespectful treatment of a child that will result short-term cooperation but further behavior problems long-term. No child should have to endure such negative modification methods intended to humiliate them with a goal of teaching appropriate behavior. Sadly, however, some adults think they are doing what is best for the child. But what can a child possibly learn from hearing a parent say, “If you hit your brother one more time, I'm gonna spank you!” The child interprets that message as “if I hit him, then you're going to hit me.” There is no valuable lesson…

    When I was a kid I knew better than to have a tantrum, especially in public. I specifically remember my dad dragging my older sister out of Safeway by her coveralls taking her to the truck and spanking her, just once and not very hard. I never threw a fit with my dad after that, my mother was a different story because she refused to spank us and rarely followed through with her threats. Flash forward 22 years and parents don 't…

    Spanking In Children

    As an only child my parents have always spoiled me and wanted the best for me. However, when I did something that was completely unacceptable, I encountered a spanking. Punishments were a way for my parents to teach me that my actions weren’t always the best decisions. Different wrongdoings resulted in different forms of punishment, which ranged from certain privileges being taken away to spankings. Although, during the times I was being punished I felt a sort of resentment towards my parents, I later came to realize that all the tough love was for my own good. A parent has to be able to know and love their child well enough to be able to notice when a spanking should be mandated. Spanking enforces good behavior, lets the child know who is…

    CORPORAL PUNISHMENT

    Corporal punishment in regards to spanking has been used for hundreds of years in educational systems and in house holds and is still legal in all fifty states for parents to use in there household because it is an effective way to punish a child for wrong behavior. Even though in the last couple of decades this topic has been very controversial, many countries and educational systems have decided to outlawed corporal punishment because of the belief that it has created more and more violent behavior in children. But, there is still no direct link to spanking causing children to have more violent behavior. However, if youth violence and dysfunction is increasing at the same time that corporal punishment is decreasing, we should be open enough to consider whether the two trends are related. Maybe there is no connection. But maybe lawmakers and child welfare workers should pay more attention to the research suggesting that physical discipline can be helpful in certain contexts (Larzelere,2005). The whole reason for ‘punishment’ is to stop a behavior from happening again by applying an unpleasant stimulus immediately after a bad behavior has occurred. Therefore, we use corporal punishment because it is a method of punishment called punishment by application which spanking is applied to the child after a bad behavior, preventing it from happening again, which also help implement discipline.…

    To be able to learn from our decisions and actions, we must be able to accept the consequences as it is the only way to learn. If the consequences are favorable, humans will learn to accept their actions and decisions. If they are not favorable, the consequences usually teach humans to not repeat the action or decision they have made. As adults, the consequences for poor choices usually result in a reaction from the surrounding society. As an adult, humans learn to accept what they can and not accept what they can’t, though some choices are not made, inevitably an adult has a choice. A child on the other hand, living in an adult world, does not have a choice as to what consequences they suffer due to their actions and decisions. As an adult in the life of a child, the adult needs to make the decisions on what type of consequences should be placed on the child’s negative actions. There are many controversial discussions on this subject, especially when it comes to corporal punishment of a child. Is corporal punishment needed to discipline children? Whether you agree or disagree with corporal punishment of children does not matter as much as the impact it has on the child.…

    First of all, even the pain of punishment will disappear, the scars on body and heart somehow will remain for the entire life. With no doubt, teaching children not to spill the milk on the floor by simply slapping on their bottoms would be a rapid way to warn them not to make the same mistake again. However, I think your children would remember how bad you treat them more than the lesson they’ve learned and reflect this rage on their children in the future by teaching them in same way. In addition, some researches even have shown the causes of some criminal’s psychological problems can be traced back to their parents’ serious physical punishment or even abuse. The former dictator of Iraq Saddam Hussein would be a good example.…

    No person should ever be put in physical pain for wrongdoing. This statement applies specifically to children and teenagers . There is no a lesson out there that can be more effectively by caning to children than by a verbal explanation. I oppose that parents should cane their children for their wrongdoings because it may lead to trauma, parents should be advisor rather than hitting and children may involve in social problems.…
