Adverse Effects of Corporal Punishment on Children
Corporal punishment adversely effects children and should be discontinued due to the impact it has on children. Research has proven that it is detrimental to our children and that it causes aggression issues, and can even result in physical abuse on children. There is a movement to create no hit zones and to stop the use of corporal punishment completely. I agree that corporal punishment is detrimental to our children and other means of discipline should be used.
One study shows that children are more prone to aggression and that they dont even follow through with the good behavior after corporal punishment is administered. “This study confirmed previous research showing that child compliance is short-lived and that CP is a risk factor for physical abuse, as well as for child aggression (Proulx, Morgan L; Douglas, Emily M; Straus, Murray, 2018).” Another study shows that the effects of corporal punishment and the effects it has on African American people, which was the basis for this study. “Meta-analyses of the effects of corporal punishment generally show it to have detrimental effects (Simons, L.G.; Simons, R.L.; Su, X.(2013). The last study is using research to move you to their idea of corporal punishment being stopped completely. The use of CP is wrong and there should be No Hit Zones established (Vaughan-Eden, V., Holden, G. W., & Stacie, S. L. (2019). This study is trying to incorporate these no hit zones everywhere to protect our children.
In conclusion, I agree that corporal punishment should be stopped for the good of all children. The research and references I have provided will show you that to end corporal punishment, we are basically saving our childrens future.
