To Spank or Not To?

Spanking or hitting children seems to be the norm in many cultures and societies, for the effective discipline of children. However, experience and research work have proven otherwise. Frequently spanked children may find it difficult to fit into the society due to problems of low self esteem, display of aggression to others and the inability to be sensitive to the needs of others. We hit the streets to get people's opinions about this matter. We also considered 2 online articles to help expound on this topic. Using violence and traumatic actions to enforce good behaviours in children have negative effects on both children and their parents. Let us embrace the non-violent disciplinary methods in raising our children.
