Never spank a child no matter what he or she has done. Spanking is only a means to relieve your own anger and does no good for a child. In fact, it tells a child that he can get what he wants or get people to obey him because they are afraid. It instills fear and sets him up for some pretty bad child behavior as it teaches him that using his fists gets him what he wants and is the way to deal with adversity. It is not only that; spanking a child is against the law. Just because you are the parent and the child depends on you does not mean that you can physically abuse him. Abuse in any form hampers a child’s emotional growth. Sitting down with a child when he has misbehaved is far better than lashing out with your fists. Talk to your child. Ask him if there is anything bothering him. Perhaps he needs to speak to a child counselor.
