People say as long as there's no last damage, physical punishment is fine. How a!
Question:
People say as long as there's no last damage, physical punishment is fine. How about psychological damage?
Answers:
Are you asking this question because you are one of those people who believes in giving physical punishment? Has someone told you to knock it off, so now you want to say mean things instead, or worse yet... add psychological cruelity along with physical harm? If so, you need anger management and communication skills. Seek professional help.
A spanking with YOUR HAND, when a kid runs across the street without looking, plays with fire, hits another kid or animal, things that could potentially harm them is where a spanking can teach them that those things can physically hurt, should be combined with a good discussion of "why's and why not's".
I believe that once people have reached their age of reasoning they should not be punished by touch. That's why adults talk things out.
No one should EVER belittle, embarrass, ridicule or laugh at anyone. Especially a child who looks up to you for the right answers. Hurtful remarks affect everyone differently. I remember more hurtful things said to me in my past that formed my insecurities, than why I got spanked.
