"Children should never receive less protection than adults. . . [we must] put an end to adult justification of violence against children, whether accepted as 'tradition' or disguised as 'discipline'."
Paulo Sergio Pinheiro, Member of the UN Sub-commission on the promotion and protection of human rights, Geneva, 2006.

Yes, I believe a child should get the occasional spanking when it is deserved. Not a beating nor a thrashing and never with anything but an open hand on the clothed buttocks. The spanking should be administered by the parent at the time of the misbehavior with clear reasons why they are being spanked. I personally believe bad behavior should have consequences when time out's and other methods do not work.

Many parents insist that they don't enjoy spanking their child but they believe it's the best way to change bad behavior. But what if there was a way to change bad behavior without spanking--wouldn't most parents want to try it? Interestingly, there are many ways to discipline without spanking (and without time-outs). The word "discipline" basically means "to teach," and researchers have found that positive reinforcement of good behavior works better than punishment in changing behavior. It's longer-lasting, more internalized, and results are quicker.

∙ 13y agoNo, there just kids. They should be disiplined, but not harshly. No beating or any of that. Just a time out will do when there young, and if there still "bad" when there older, take away something for a short time. But your the parent, you decide if they should be punished or not for whatever thing that they did.

∙ 14y agoonly if they are being bad It should be used as a last resort only, there are many effective ways of disciplining children that do not require you to lay a finger on them. However if a child fails to respond to these methods then spanking is appropriate.

∙ 14y agoYes, a parent should discipline his or her child. It is not a matter of physical or emotional discipline. It is simply a parent's job to discipline a child.

That is a matter of opinion, some people think it hurts children's self-esteem, others think it is a form of discipline. I think parents should be allowed to smack their children, enough to hurt and teach them what they are doing is wrong, but not so much as to take belts and spoons and smack their children so much that they bleed.
