Should parents spank the children?

        Nowadays the number of children who have trend to violence is rising especially in the age of 6 to 15. One of the causes for this bad behavior is parents spank children when they ignore meals, leave in a terrible mess after playing, tell lies or neglect studying. Should parents do that? In my opinion, spanking children is the worst way to teach the children because of some reasons below.

          First of all, that parents spank children will injure badly on the children’s health. Parents often thrash their children when they are in stress and bad temper. At that time they can't control their feeling as well as behavior although they know exactly a thrashing will leave bruises and scratches on child’s body or may cause affection inside. To illustrate, my next door child 2 years old is a typical example. She very active and rarely obey the elderly to have good lunch. It often takes much time and patience to feed her. Under the both pressure of works and caring child, her father_ a fireman is often out of control hitting her. That makes her scare at any lunchtime. She loses her appetite, which causes her losing weight and stomachache. Because of the bad effect on children’s health, we never should spank children.

          Spanking children also affects badly on children’s thought and behavior. That child from 6 to 15 is the highest stage of learning from people around and of course parents the closest people affect the children most. Children often imitate as what their parents behave. If their parents greet respectfully to the elderly all the time they meet or always visit for grandparents’ health, children will do the same just because they are taught that all things parents do are true in any way; therefore, when children are spanked because of their mistakes, they have trend to teach in violent way with their next generation. Moreover spanking leaves not only a scar on the children’s skin but also a hard cut in children’s feeling. It also mainly causes the negative of children thought and behavior, which are the results parents never expect.

          Some people say that spanking children is the only useful way to teach them_ the stubborn children. It is just the excuse for their powerlessness. In fact, No one is bad at first he comes to life as the idiom ‘man is good-natured’. The more spanking children the more stubborn the children are. The ways children behave show exactly and directly the parents’ result of teaching as well as the effect of environment so should we spank the children? I hope both of us have our own good choice to teach children.
