does smacking chidren affects their mind??????

I agree with you. I have seen so many children taking wrong paths because of this excessive beating. Children psychology says that child's brains are the most effective and they tend to remember the events that hurt them the most and those events that make them more happy. They need love than beatings. Love can teach them better. IF they don't get the love they go searching for love and eventually end up in wrong arms. Also they will never ever listen to you and there will be a stage when they take every suggestion of yours as negative and they do exactly the opposite which could be disastrous and i have seen it personally happening with so many children.

No one needs to be beaten up by anyone.....Take it from some one who has been beaten by parnet's and ex-husband....I have made up my mine that never again would anyone hit me cause I was going to hit back.......Not by physical but I would have them arrest and let them spend some time in jail.... Yes it does effect their mind and also cause damage to the brain every time you get hit in the head......It also damages other organs in the body if they are hit hard enough....Anyone who has to hit should not be able to have children or live in public...

In disciplining children, an existing open communication line between children and parents is a must. Children get beaten up only when necessary. Parents will have to talk to their children (best if done privately) about the wrong they committed, why is it wrong and what would be the right one. Parents must always painstakingly explain to their children everything and listen to what their children have to say in return. Beatings shall take place only as a last resort. There are times when children become exceedingly trying despite a string of warnings which had come their way. Determining when it is best to beat a child requires wisdom. The fewer beatings a child gets, the more he is afraid of getting it, the better disciplined he becomes. The first time must therefore be really painful...take a small twig from a tree. It must be free of protrusions so it will cause no bruises once it lands on the child. Explain why the child must get a beating, since it will be his first, he has no idea how much it hurts and just make a laugh at it. Make him lie on a couch or bed on his tummy and then give the hardest blows you can, making sure they all land in the butt. Three blows will be enough. Tell him to get up, then tell him to hug you and say sorry. Tell him you hurt when you had to spank him. You do not want him to go through the pain because you love him so much. He made you compelled to do the beating because his behavior had gone off hand. Then make him promise he will not make you cross again by not heeding your advises. You will notice that it will take months before you have to beat him up again if you do this all as a ritual everytime the child needs to be spanked. Spanking done this way will never affect the child adversely, actually this is one of the many ways wherein we can inculcate the value of responsibility in them. No child will be harmed physically and mentally if beatings are carried in this manner by parents and guardians. The kind of beatings that have arisen controversies is the type which we see some are doing. These are blows given out of anger rather than flowing out of love. The elder picks anything he can lay his hands on. Then give blows to a child no matter where it hits him. It is mighty harmful. Even a newspaper can do much harm it the blows land on the head of a fragile child... how much more if, he uses the buckle of his belt, or a piece of wood lying on the ground, or a chain. This is what you say will cause mental and physical harm. This is needless, a needless exercise which must be stopped.

I can make this real easy for you. If I smack you, will it affect your mind?
