Is Child Spanking Acceptable?
I chose to do my research on the discipline of child psychology because it is very interesting to me and I would really like to learn more about how parents should go about disciplining a child.
My first research was from the ““Canadian Health Network””, Health Information You Can Trust. It is an article/journal on Child Psychology. Positive discipline will help your child become a healthy, caring, responsible adult. It takes and effort, but it is well worth it. Positive discipline is about teaching and guiding your child. ““It helps if you start setting the rules at an early age,”” says the Canadian Health Network. Personally, I think that if you discipline your child to do as I say, not as I do, it would really help the child. There are a lot of parents out there that tell their kids not to drink and do drugs, but when the child comes homes, that is all the childs sees. How can you tell a child don’’t do this or that if you are doing the same thing? Parents are the childs number one role model and that’’s who the child looks up to. So if the child sees mommy and daddy doing it, then it must be okay. That is how children think. I think a lot of parents’’ wait until the child is a teenager to try and teach the child right from wrong.

Wrong, children know and they have an instinct on certain things. ““You should be a good example to your child no matter how old they are, if you start from the beginning, you will have less problems in the end,”” says the Canadian Health Network. Another topic in these articles and journals is how you praise your child. It really upsets me when I’’m in a store and a child is acting up and to get the child to shut up, the parent buys that child a toy or something. That is just so annoying to me. My motto is, ““Don’’t start nothing you can’’t finish!”” If you are constantly buying a child things everytime he or she is acting up, then that child will constantly act up on purpose because they know that it will get them what they...
