Children: To Spank Or Not To Spank
Number of pages:
3
ABSTRACT:
3 pages in length. Disciplining children has become more and more challenging with the ever-growing perception that spanking is both abusive and unnecessary. Each side of this hotly debated topic maintains reasons why it is either beneficial or detrimental to use spanking as a means of appropriate discipline, citing such aspects as later life psychological issues (critics) and failing to realize the value of a few open-handed swats across the behind (proponents). The extent to which the decision to spank a child has become central to much dispute is both grand and far-reaching; that disciplining children in the twenty-first century must now realize the potential for law enforcement involvement speaks to a forward-moving trend that questions the validity of a long-standing method for correcting misbehavior. When compared with such non-impact punishment alternatives as time-out, spanking has steadily become a least favored approach. Bibliography lists 1 source.
