I believe they should not.
Sure, parents have their own responsibility for their kids, they may do whatever they want to them, but I don’t think parents know the impact it may have on their kids. Punish them some how, don’t use brutal force. Hurting children could have a bad influence and impact on not just them, but other generations to come.
Okay smacking like placing your hands on them and causing pain yeah 100% no whoever does that…just no. But like getting a belt is another story. It’s a way of discipline, so I’m not against the belt especially if you show mercy and your kid still doesn’t listen. Like I got the belt not that much when I was younger because I was a good noddle and my mom never liked giving the belt I mean who enjoys giving pain to your kids? But I grew up and I’m good and whatnot so yeah! I don’t feel mad about it because it’s not like she did it for fun. If she did I would be gone right now. But the belt yes. But never ever ever had my mom or dad ever and I mean ever put their hands on me and slapped me…that’s just something like deeper in my opinion at least.
I feel the same way about the belt. Spankings are okay because it’s a show of discipline but when you’re doing it out of no where all the time for no important reason, it’s totally wrong.
If you beat your kids that abuse. But a simple smack doesn’t do harm. And verbal discipline doesn’t work. Okay you gotta get a little ghetto like Marlon does. (maybe not idk)
But yelling at your kid No Charlie don’t draw on the wall does not do anything.
They’re people in the world who got a whopping, they are fine, and they know what true discipline is. Some things will just be physical. Others who don’t, will fail and are disrespectful, not all, but majority.
