Physical Punishment and Children


In my opinion physical punishment is not good for children.
There are a couple of reasons.

First, according to psychologists hitting children can cause slow development for children.
For example their IQ can be reduced because of punishment or children can lose their confidence easily. Once they lose their confidence often they become bullied by other children.

Secondly, hitting children can cause serious physical damage. Especially when parents are angry, they treat children quite strongly. Accidentally they can hurt children or give them serious injuries or brain damage. Sometimes it leads to death.

Thirdly, physical punishment does not work with children. If parents hit them many times, children get used to it easily. It makes children be negative. And also it makes the relationship between parents and children very bad.

As I mentioned above, physical punishment to children can cause serious physical mental and social problems.
Therefore it doesn't work properly for children.
What is good for children then ? Parents in Australia need to think again about this question.
