| But there are other, better ways of raising a child. Children do not do what their parents tell them, but rather what they do. So if you hit a child they will learn to hit others.
I was never hit once by my parents that i can recall and i turned out good. I and my siblings where never spoiled children, and (at the risk of sounding pompous) acctually recived a lot of praise from other parents for our manners.
I dont believe that its necessarily wrong to hit a child in a parenting purpose, but i do think that there are better ways that dont include any kind of beating. |
