To Spank or Not to Spank?

This is the topic of my textbook and I found something interesting, so I would like to talk about it. Especially, there is a fine line between spanking and child abuse for me.

According to our survey of our class, there are only a few students to support corporal punishment and I am one of them. When I was a kid,  I remembered if I did something wrong then I always got corporal punishment form my mom. As I have lots of sibling, it was quite useful  for us to stop fighting and it was also easy for my mom to teach us. The common corporal punishments were forcing us to kneel down on the floor or hitting on our palm. This is what I had an experience when I was young from my parents, but I know it is a big different thought now due to time, education and concept changing. For me, it is not black and white. And I think that, by and large, most people would agree with me, for there is a fine line between spanking and child abuse. It is hard to define, unless parents are cruel or violent treatment of their children.

I do believe that spanking is work for little kids who are in the kindergarten age because pain helps children learn right and wrong . The most important thing is that spanking is done out of love not anger  and you have to let your children understand why they are spanked, otherwise spanking might teach children to solve problems with violence. If you are a parent what do you think about it? Spanking or not spanking!
