Should Parents Be Allowed To Hit Their Children??

Should parents be allowed to hit their children? Why? I think parents should be able to hit their children but their should be a limit to how you hit them and what you hit them with. Three reasons why parents should be allowed to hit their children is to show discipline/ control, limitations on how far you should go, and to show who is boss.



My first reason why I think parents should hit their children because of control. When parents use control they show who is boss. Also it keeps them out of trouble.




My second reason why parents should hit their children but I do not think you should go past the hitting with the hand and the belt. I think if you go further than that, then that is abuse.




My last reason why you should beat your kids because you should not be able to go to far with hurting your child. Such as a bat/ stick, and a cord. In a book that I am reading “Huckleberry Finn”. Jim’s father hits him and cursed at him, which was to me on the boarder line of beating you child vs. abusing your child.



In conclusion this is why I think parents should be able to beat their children because it is to show who is boss and it show discipline.
