Darden the U.S. Supreme Court denied the federal appeal of an 18 year old student who was paddle for leaving the campus for breakfast. While being paddled she sustained injuries to the hand and butt and was taken to the hospital. Some would say that Corporal punishment is connected to slavery and it’s morally wrong to hit a child in school. The failure of the teacher is to blame not the student. McCarthy, C. (2008).

Try not to get caught in the moment release your anger on the child but don’t let wrong doing go unheard. Effective parenting is being consistent with rule of the house and not focusing on the bad but as well as the good. Rosellini, L., & Mulrine, A. (98). When to spank.

In this article child development specialist and child advocacy agencies discuss ways of alternative methods of discipline and the issue of why or way not if it’s beneficial to spank children.

What it doesn’t do is teach them to do better. Spanking should encompass a multitude of other alternatives: talking, removing activities and toys, time outs etc. In many cases, it is not the spanking that has caused the problems; however, it is the history of inadequate or ineffective parenting.

We all know how important it is to have obedient children. At times, their lives will depend on it. We also understand that discipline is about much more than shaping a child's behavior but to develop a child understanding of right and wrong when it’s appropriately used. We should also model ourselves after God’s love and perhaps we can start to build a better tomorrow starting with our children. The extra Article: Samuels, C. (2008). Corporal punishment.
