Should Parents Be Allowed To Spank Children
Whether or not a parent should discipline their children using the method of spanking is an issue that always seems to be in debate and up for discussion in each and every family in all of society. Any form of spanking can be considered abuse or the only way we can reach a child in terms of making them understand something. There are several points that come up when arguing the issue of spanking. In this essay I am going to argue why it’s a good thing to discipline a child using the method of spanking in order to show a child the difference between what’s right and what’s wrong, establish the parent’s role as a child’s protector, and to prevent simple unruliness and disobedience.

This role can be established through the method of spanking seeing as how the parent uses this controlled amount of force to keep the child from doing something wrong or potentially harmful. As a parent, they have to also take on the role as protector of a child and protect them from harmful situations. Whether they give them a stern look or spank them to show them the error of their way, sometimes we have to hurt the child in order to really help
