Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: YES

Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

no, spanking is not the solution to your problems...u should talk to the kid with love and understanding, for them to be able to understand they are doing wrong..
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: YES

Kids do not think as much as they feel and follow their instincts or desires of their yummy tummy. It's a negative enforcing.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: YES

Love and understanding does not solve everything. The child will realize that his parents do not get mad when he does the mistake so he will do it again. You have to make the kid realize he did something wrong.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: YES

But if you talk to them with love and understanding when they do something wrong, then they won't see a consequence so they'll keep doing it. Having a little discipline isn't wrong.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: YES

Its a combination of love and understanding combined with dicipline. It seems pretty straighfoward to me. Love and understanding with no dicipline will not teach but dicipline with no love or understanding as abuse.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: YES

You can't show love or understanding to a kid who just did something bad. It's like praising them for their wrong doing.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

Some kids don't learn by spanking them..So why waste your time on that, when you can always take something valuable away from them.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

Yeah,why waste your time when they are going to do the same mistake all over again.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: YES

I agree with you but most young children don't have anything valuable to them . So what would you do from there ?
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

Spanking should not be an option to discipline a child, parents have a lot other options before spanking. Its better to talk to them about what they did wrong and solve the problem in a proper way.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: YES

But when they grow up they're going to realize that there is no severe punishment to their actions. They're going to think they can do what ever they want because all they're going to get is a talking to.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

I don't think anybody would have liked to get spanked by there parents therefore , spanking shouldn't be an Option
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

I disagree on the parents use spaking as an option to dicipline because the childrens are not going to be scare of what their parents are going to them and also because if you do that to your childrens are learning what their parents show them and also because that is not going to help that much the childrens
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

Honestly, I believe that spanking shouldn't be accepted to discipline a child. There are many options that parents can take. That's why we have a mouth to speak and say what's right from wrong and wrong from right.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

No child should get hit. There are different punishments you could give your child.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

Exactly, I think spanking creates fear. I don't like that feeling.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

yes, it does..and instead of them understandingthey wont.. because they dont understand why u are spanking them...
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: YES

But one of the best ways to punish someone , is a good butt whoopin.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: YES

Spanking can help your child remember what he did was wrong.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

I agree spanking is nt the only thing to teach a Child from right to wrong
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: YES

i dissagre because the are little kids and they do no know what they are doing
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

Children should not be spanked because they should be treated as equals lol I wouldn't want my child to hit me.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: YES

They could hit you later if they are not disciplined and have no respect for you because no boundaries were put.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: YES

That is true, it could come back to haunt you if you don't choose to discipline your child in this way.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

If my children became my parents, We would all die..lol..a point I have discussed with them just recently in joking conversation.But I do disagree with you sorry. Yes I agree that we should set good examples for our children in terms of respect etc. But I have to say that in my experience children need a firm boundary otherwise they will push and push till the limit. I know..I have 4 and have seen it myself with 2.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: YES

I agree, but spanking doesn't have to be used constantly and it will show them that some things are more wrong then others
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

No, because instead of spanking them teach them to not do it again. The parent should teach them from right and wrong. Once the child learn they will be well behaved. They don't need to be spank for everything
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

No, i don't think they should be spanked because in my opinion i don't think it works, maybe it will once, but as they grow up it's not a good technique to do, because then y'all wont have a good relationship and the relationship will not grow. There is other techniques they can learn from.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

Exactly! Once kids grow up they will just laugh at the fact that they are getting hit.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: YES

Maybe be they will learn because spanking hurts and it will hurt them.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

A parent shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline a child because they might grow up traumatized and they might feel unloved since they would get spanked a lot, that will cause a low self of esteem. Also spanking shouldn't be an option because at that moment the parent would be full with anger and they wouldn't be thinking logically.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: YES

I disagree! Majority of teenagers were hit when they were younger and they do not feel traumatized, it's only a way of teaching children to not do anything bad.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

No because spanking might effects the relationship between the child and parents. And Children can pick up on the parents attitude acting violent. There are better ways to solve problems, for example using the other techniques.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

Spanking a child is not an act of violence. It is a disciplinary action that children learn from.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

No, because they don't really understand what they are doing since they are barely growing up and still trying to understand the world.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

Good point. They are too young to understand what they are truly doing.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

I agree whit you because they are still litle kids and they dont realy know what they are doing
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

Parents should not rely on spanking their children when they are misbehaving. Although, it may sometimes seem necessary to spank your children, in my opinion it should always be the last resort.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

I say no because spanking doesn't really solve the problem, anyone can get over a spanking fast, and do whatever they did again. So its better to be a bit strict, than to abuse a kid.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: YES

I believe spanking teaches your child only one life lesson (and it's a bad one).
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

Physical abuse towards children causes them to fear their parents and may cause a stutter.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: YES

I don't agree because some kids are really bad and their behavior is not acceptable so their parents have the right to spank them to correct their behavior with out being abuse.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

I don think spanking is necessary I think punishing is the best way when kids don't behave.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

I don't think that spanking should be necessary,spanking would last just a minute, but punishing could last up to 2 or 3 weeks or maybe more.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

You'r so write. Punishments will make the children see what they did wrong more.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

I agree with this alternative punishment because it wouldn't involve physical violence.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

Spanking should never be the answer. Spanking should be the LAST option. Yes, I agree that if it gets to a certain point you can lightly spank the kid, but never to the point where you're beating the kid.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

I agree! There's no reason for a parent to beat their children. Even if they did something really bad. No one should ever do such a thing.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

I think parents should not spank because there's other way to make them behave.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

yes, I agree because there are better ways to teach them why they shouldn't do what they did.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

Parents shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline it just makes the child get mad than to see what they did wrong.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: YES

is better to correct the child at a young age ... instead when they grow up to be adolescent and don not respect their parents decisions and rules
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

I agree sometimes they will get mad, or hurt..but it is a consequence to a bad behavior. If my child hurts someone physically, repeatedly or steals 4 or 5 times...they are going to get a spanking because it means no other consequence has worked. That's not even the worst punishment. Boot camp lolBut seriously, I have considered it with one child.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

Because spanking is mostly out of anger and can be for more then what your kid had done like if some one else made thm mad thy let it all out on thm
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

Honestly, I Think It's better to try a different option besides spanking that can affect a child's way of thinking and may get depressed
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

I agree with you, I think there is a lot of other ways of punishing a child than spanking.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

There's some parents that spank their children for every little thing. And that is not right. They will always be scared of them.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: YES

Yes you are right but a small spanking for a reasonable cause i believe is fine.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: YES

But spanking should only be used as the last resource and it depends on the kid's age.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

I used to believe that physical punishment when done not out of anger, but as mentioned by others, the last resort, was not harmful, and I'm still not sure how harmful long term this sort of punishment would be really. But if it is not enough to instill fear or pain that is remembered, is it working? But if those things are needed for it to work I think then it certainly must lead to other negatives like low self-esteem, social awkwardness, fear-based decision making, etc.But the ideal way to handle ideal children is easy enough to talk about, some kids are simply little terrorists and that's sometimes bad parenting and sometimes just how they are, because they're brains are small and they are packed full of energy.What do you do with the kid that just doesn't give a fuck and is going to act out no matter what? What if they start hitting siblings and classmates? What if they kick and scream for hours when they don't get a cupcake? Sure, usually that behavior means something deeper is going on, but not always. I wouldn't know what to do with that kid either. Maybe that kid needs some fear? I don't know.I'm against it, but I don't begrudge it as a last result done the right way. I certainly don't judge a parent so long as it doesn't cross the line into abuse.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

I support what you are saying. I can understand how in some cases, as a last resort as you say, spanking can prove to be useful and work. But I want to emphasize 'Last Resort'. Because there are many other methods that are much more effective. But overall I see what your getting at and I understand you point of view.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

Well, I have undergone child development classes, therefore I believe in other methods of discipline that do not involve physical harm such as spanking. A child should not be hit in any manner for there behavior, this is the wrong approach. Instead, parents should use things such as a time out, first by explaining exactly why the child has to be in time out, making sure the child understands what they did wrong, then after a while, the parent should then ask the child to tell them what they did wrong, just to be clear they have full understanding on why they were put in timeout. Then the parent should then make sure the child knows they love them. There are other ways then to spank, ways that are far more effective, and create no physical harm. The last thing parents should want to do is hurt their children.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

Nope. I believe it shouldnt be done just to discipline a child. Parents could just scold their child just so they would stop what they are doing wrong. Hitting is not really a solution because aside hurting a child emotionally, it also hurts them physically. Kids wouldnt learn the value of respect for their parents because they would only learn how to be scared. They wont do the wrong action again next time, not because they've learned their lesson, but because they are just scared that their parents would hit them
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

does this make sense: you steal a candy bar from school then your parents steal your favorite toy. you stole something and were disciplined by getting something stolen. hm. same thing applies to this. you hit somebody then you get hit. you get told not to hit somebody, then told not to hit, then hit by the saame person
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

People should not hit there kids because the kid will think it is OK to hit someone else back like for an example at school they will end up fighting and abusive to others.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

no it gives nothing but fear.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: YES

That's not a bad thing if there scared to do something bad they will not do it
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: YES

So it makes them not do it a second time and they also learn that it is wrong.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: YES

Exactly. They will give them fear to not do it again. So they will avoid doing it.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

Because if the child is young they dont know whats wrong and whats right the parent needs to teach the child from whats wrong and from whats right
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: YES

By spanking they are learning what is right from wrong! if they misbehave later on they will be out of control and you will be regretting it.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: YES

I disagree with you because even though the child may be small if the parent were to teach the children at a young age they will know what's right and wrong.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

The child is young and doesn't know what is wrong and what is right.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

I disagree, spanking them once can show the child what is right to do and what is wrong.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

That is true and plus there are many ways to punish a child and spanking is not a good one
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: YES

Exactly the need to be taught and if it requires physical punishment then so be it.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: YES

yes they do watch a kid or if you have younger sibblings they know when there anouying you yet they dont stop
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

Not everything begins with violence, parents shouldn't hit kids for discipline, only if its necessary .
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: YES

i disagree because if you hit your child once they'll learn from it and not do it again, they'll also learn how to behave in public.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

No because hitting your child could mentally scar them for life. also it can make them think hitting their kids is alright.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

I strongly believe parents should not use physical punishment like spanking to discipline their child. The child will obey if they have a strong healthy relationship with a parent, if they have gained their respect. The parents should have a friendly relationship with their child and the child will soon respect them and agree to what their parents decide although they may not like it. They will learn that the parents know whats best for them.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

No because if we hit our children their gonna think that we don't love them.
