Letter To The Editor Smacking Children

Letter to the editor (smacking kids) 2/3/17

Dear editor, I strongly believe a good old smack is the best option to correct your child's behaviour.
A sensible smack just can not possibly harm your child but they can benefit from it. In this article I will tell you why smacking is the best medicine to correct your child's behaviour and also discipline them.

As long as your child knows you care for them and love them I see no harm, it just teaches them a lesson. There's a saying called "no pain no gain" this means that if you get smacked you know that what you are doing is wrong and learn by feeling the pain, you wouldn't do it next time because you will remember that if you do it again than you know there will be consequences. You think that if you smack your children it is wrong but many kids have probably played a physical sport and that requires tackling, bumping, shoving and sometimes punching which is way worst than just a simple smack for discipline. Also smacking will not only discipline your child but also toughen than up which prepares them for the dangerous world we live in,"Smacking with benefits".
This clearly shows that smacking is does not harm your child. So to everyone that thinks smacking will harm your child socially and mentally you are obviously wrong. So if a child does something wrong and you smack them this means you are teaching them something and they know they will not do it next
