Corporal Punishment has been long a controversial topic throughout the world and so I am curious to know what your opinion is:) And you may choose as many choices as you wish.
Feel free to share your personal light on this serious subject!
I believe sometimes corporal punishment is warranted. But it should not be used a lot, nor should it ever be used in anger. Ideally you would never need to use corporal punishment instead you could explain and reason with the child. Unfortunately children are not always rational (nor are many adults) so reasoning is not always an option. Also younger children developmentally view morality in terms of rewards and punishments. So it is a method that can be understood. That being said I try to avoid the use of corporal punishment whenever possible. I would much prefer to use time outs or removal of things like toys, games or tv.
For more information you can go here to see what this means. I’m sure there are more cleaver ways to like this but I don’t know them. I love your blog!
