Synopsis: A kid Ian Swanson moved to Sweeden with his family where they banned hitting children. For Americans and other countires it is normal to hit a child if they cause disrespect. Parents will hit their kids without thinking if they get mad because it is normal. Parents hit their kids because when they were kids they got hit. In Sweeden they banned hitting kids and it is very against the law. They see no reason why a parent shuld hit their kid. That only bad will come by hitting a kid
Analysis: I think that Sweeden's law against hitting kids is nice and that like 30 other countries say that they agree with Sweeden about not hitting a kid. In my opinion though parents should be ale to hit their kid. Obviously, parents cannot abuse their kids, but if a kid disrespects a parent then the kid deserves a nice beating. This can be a difficult topic to debate about, but i strongly think that parents should be able to hit their kid if its in the right manner. For example if a parent says not to touch the food on the table and after the kid touches it like 10 times after he was told not to. If he tries again the parent can give him a nice little smack so learn his lesson.
Yikes! I'm not clear on your postion. Discipline and abuse are a fineline. I'm not sure how such a law can be constitutional....
ReplyDeleteI don't quite agree that all Americans hit their children. But I do agree that a parents should be allowed to spank their child, not hit, or like you said "Don't tough the food" a little smack on the hand. But under no circumstance should hit their kids across the face or anywhere besides their hands and bum. But I respect your opinion. Also, there might be some parents who hit their children when they're mad, but it is actually considered abuse.
