Child physical discipline by parents has been a hotly debated subject. The
majority of parents consider that one of their most difficult problems is managing
their children's behaviors. According to WHO, approximately 60% of children
between the ages of 2 and 14 get regular physical abuse from their parents. They
believe that the only way for a child to learn from a mistake is by being physically
punished. Physical punishment to a child can be divided into three main parts:
negatively affecting children’s physical and mental health, bad family’s
relationships, imitating their parents' punitive behavior.
One of the primary reasons for stopping physical punishment is that it
negatively affects children’s physical and mental health. When children make
mistakes, some parents become aggressive and strictly punish their kids by using
physical violence. This can lead to serious injuries for the children, and scars
resulting from punishment never disappear. Furthermore, they may suffer from
several mental health issues because they are cruelly treated. If they keep enduring
the violence, they will undergo depression. In fact, it is said that physically abused
children tend to have dangerous behaviors. For example, trying to hurt themselves
is one of the riskiest things to do. In general, physical punishment should be
eliminated due to its serious consequences.
Secondly, physical punishment has a very negative impact on the relationship
between parents and children. According to George Holden, president of the
Department of Psychology, Southern Methodist University, most related research
indicated that corporal punishment had very negative effects. Dr. Holden noted that
those who use them often have very little good relationships with their children.
The child is afraid of punishment absolutely being afraid to come close and talk to
her/his parents. Over 70% of children living under the physical punishment are
constantly alert and avoid their families’ members. Nowadays, it is easy to witness
many children who are stubborn, uncontrollable, or even disrespectful to teachers
and adults. Scourging will cause the child to fall into two extremes. One is too
frightened, too shy, so low on themselves to share with their parents. Second, it
makes more and more difficult for children to oblige, even not wanting to stick
with their families.
Finally, the use of physical punishment in educating children can lead to their
imitation of this kind of violent behavior. Children who frequently experience
physical punishment from their strict parents often have a tendency to bully other
kids. Additionally, they might raise their kids in the same way as their parents did
when they are grown-ups. As a result, their offspring might be brought up in such
an extreme educational environment, and this keeps happening over and over.
Ironically, not only the children whose parents are stern are influenced by this sort
of punishment but also others. In brief, physical punishment should no longer be
used by parents on their kids because it can have a negative impact on their
manners.
In conclusion, these findings may not be useful in developing parenting

education programs that aim to; having a detrimental effect on children's physical
and mental health, harming family connections, and mimicking the harsh discipline
of their parents. It is generally advised that parents utilize non-physical means of
discipline like time outs and reasoning, spending time with children to help them
learn exactly what they did wrongly and fixed their problems at that time.
