All forms corporal punishment are wrong where children are concerned.
In this essay I will try to look at children’s corporal punishment and how it can influence their future. Nowadays the discussion about this subject is very popular and this is due to changing our life style. Before physical punishment was a usual thing in child's upbringing and our teachers could use it for our education.
The most important point is that we should make a distincha between corporal punishment and violence. The term “corporal punishment” can be understood in many ways; UNICEF therefore propose the following definition: “Corporal punishment is the use of physical force causing pain, but not wounds, as a means of discipline.”i
Many consider that any sort of punishment is not good since it might cause harm or psychic problems with the child and with parents in the future. They believe that if parents would use physical punishment when their child are still children after that when their child grow up they will answer back. For example I have an acquaintance and he has fall out with his father who was cruel to him in his upbringing.
On the other hand, sometime children become naughty and cheeky and adults should teach them what wrong and right are. The child has to understand that if he would do wrong or an anti-social thing he will be punished and it teach him to join the adult life.
In my opinion, corporal punishment should be used only justified for educational purposes and are last resort. It makes children feel lonely, sad and abandoned and it promotes a negative view of other people and of society as a threatening place. We must try teach their in a good way and be get on with them, because children our future and our mirror image.
