Question

Do you agree with the practices of the majority of U.S. adults, who use physical punishment to discipline their children? Has your opinion changed as a result of studying child development ? Explain

Answer 1

I think physical punishment has a negative impact on a child especially at a young age. Let’s say you discipline you young child he’s 7 you punish him in a physical way that going to impact the way he sees discipline. As he grows up he might remember this is a harsher way. And then when he has kid the physical discipline could possible be worse then the discipline you provided. (This is just my personal opinion and how I would answer the question)

Answer 2

Personally I think that physical punishment to a degree is okay but not excessive physical punishment. I think that over use of this type of punishments could lead to problems.
