[12] Should Parents Be Allowed To Hit Their Kids?

Your mom walks up to you after seeing your straight "F's"on your report card, she slowly grabs her belt and beats you, causing you to hit the ground. Should that be allowed? I believe parents should be allowed to hit their kids because it shows kids consequences for their behavior and parents become "respected". Although the "hitting" should be limited.

Sometimes kids think their is no consequences for bad, reckless, or even the "I don't care" attitude. When you hit your child the become aware that they can't just do what they want whenever they feel. Also helping the realize they must do better!

Parents at this point in time just aren't respected! Maybe that is because they let their kids run over them like a lawn mower. Kids talk back and argue with their parents; totally stepping out of line, crossing a child's place. When you hit your child they'll soon learn that you are the parent the one who is in charge.

Although hitting should be limited. For Example Huck's father was extremely abusive. Being an abuser is not what you should accomplish. Never lock your child in a closet, as if they are some type of estranged pet. A pet is not what you want to raise. Let them know you still care and love them.

In conclusion, I believe parents should be allowed to hit their kids, but with limitations. I know that to get respect you must give it.
