Should parents spank their kids


The naughty kid ruined the new expensive LCD TV.... Kids have scratched all over the new posh car... Don’t these kids deserve good spanking? The answer is no. If the kids have indulged in such menace, it is because they are not aware of the losses incurred. Moreover, it is not a deliberate or planned destruction. While the kids were busy playing and having fun the expensive products were destroyed easily. If you consider the situation carefully, is it their fault that you left such an expensive TV set where anyone could destroy it? Shouldn’t you have locked the hall so that that nobody messes with the LCD TV? Even your expensive new car should have been in top condition if you had locked it in the garage. Simply understand that kids evolve their understanding during their childhood. They have no special mechanism to guard your precious things especially while they are busy having fun with their playmates. There are even parents spanking kids after they met accidents. It is true that the kid could have been careful and avoided the accident. But again the kid has no intentions of inviting accidents. He couldn’t handle the situation because he is a kid and not grown up to use his defences or react quickly during such situation.


Should parents or other adults spank their kids in a fit of anger? Never spank your little prankster... Instead explain to him what he has done and make him understand the consequences for what he has done and the losses that incurred to you because of his careless activities.
Always keep out expensive products or appliances from the reach of the children
Improve the awareness on the importance of the common appliances. Instruct him to use the appliances carefully and if he is confused ask him to seek your guidance.
Never put out your anger on kids and spank them. Instead improve their understanding and plan their activities carefully.
Ensure that the kids know to use any appliance to avoid damages to appliances and thwart danger to the kids.
Also remember how your parents and teachers carefully guided you through such situations and impart the same kindness to the kids.


Sparing the kids without spanking is spoiling them... Many parents believe in this viewpoint and spank their children at the slightest opportunity. It is a pathetic sight to see some parents spanking their children even in public places. In places such as supermarkets, it is common sight to see children picking up products or toys and bawling for it. Many parents refuse to buy it for their children and even spank them. The onlookers are baffled at the sight and have no words to convince such parents.
Giving to some of your kids demand...love them more and let them understand that you simply love them and want them to be happy.
Make them understand slowly the importance things that they need and that they should collect such things and not futile ones.
Moreover, give the kids what they want and not what you think that they need.
Gradually develop their understanding and let them realise the importance of everything and even the value of money.


Parenting really requires painstaking efforts but it s worth it. It is the natural way to impart our culture to the next generations and develop them as valuable human beings for becoming the pride of the society.
