We might have seen children of different types. Some children may be quite and disciplined, some may not be disciplined and mischievous..
And I had seen some parents beating the children to teach discipline, sometimes they handle them cool, and sometime they will be in harsh mood(beating) to teach them discipline..
What do you really think, whether Beating is good for children?

well i think its needed if we want to teach our children. but it also need a right way to beat children. beat only to teach not to make them pain. also not to overreacted when beat children. sometime its a need to give them a lesson.

hi hatley. that's a good question. how we want to beat our children without to make them pain. well its not pain if you just use a small twig wood to beat your children and also only beat them if they have done the wrong thing and didn't want to listen to our advise. do not beat them because of anger but because of love. we want they to know that every bad or wrong things that they have done got a bad consequences. if we do not teach them from home then when they are outside and with bad influence from outside of home. then its might be too late to teach them. and its better to teach our children when they are still kids because when they have grown up. a small twig wood will cannot be used to teach them anymore.

Hi arun,
Not at all, but it depends on the parents and their attitude. Some times parents may be much depressed and they can’t tolerate the kid’s behavior especially if they behave like mischievous. I don’t think any parent is happy to beat their kids but sometimes the circumstance play an important role. We should love our Children and taking care of them nicely. Patience is the best weapon to deal with them.

hi arunmails well as far as I see it the only thing beating is
good for in cleaning rugs, you beat them to get the dirt out. kids are not inanimate objects they are human beings. no beating is not good for children or adults. it is abuse plain pure and simple. scolding , standing in the corner, time out, these are used quite successfully for a lot of parents, also taking away priveleges too. works really well. beat rugs do not beat people.discipline is teaching and teaching is not beating. beating is done in anger and teaches the child if he does not like something or someone beat it or beat him. I raised a fine adult son and he was never beat, scolded, deprived of some things but never beat.

Children need to be raised with respect and kindness so that they learn how to treat each other. Harsh treatment whether physical or psychological cause nothing but fear and resentment.

This is a subject that could really be very touchy, but I'll bite anyway. I don't make it a habit of beating my children. Now, I will spank them occasionally and usually when I resort to that is when they are doing something that could be very dangerous for them anyway. The majority of the time though, when it comes to the way that I discipline my children is in a more diplomatic sort of way. I will give them time out or whatever other action is appropriate and then after the punishment is over, I will talk to them about the crime that they have committed.
