Throughout cultures, countries and even continents the thing most people commonly share is the having children. Offspring are the things (people) that no matter what happens in this world that we have passed something along to them whether it be in knowledge, wealth or even characteristics that can better them. From authoritative, neglectful, permissive and even authoritarian parenting the way you parent your children will always have a lasting effect on them but in all those things there is an important part in all of them: the disciplining of children. The discipline of children can range from things such as confiscating items or hobbies, isolating for a period of time to even what some may consider extreme things such as spanking. While some parents may agree with the term spare the rod spoil the child other may turn to communicating with their children. I believe that you should not have to physical harm your children to get your point across. Childhood is deterimental to how your children are going to be in the future. Children may grow up to be successful people, with good character and good morals if you teach them that being that type of person is what can lead to have a great life instead of instilling fear into them and pressuring them to be that person in order for them to not get physically hurt. Physical punishment on children can often lead them to be violent towards others (such as bullies) and have sociopathic tendencies. Instead of having to physical harm your children to teach them right from wrong it is better to communicate with them. Parents and children alike should be able to express their emotions respectfully. Parents should be able to listen to their children because their feelings and thoughts matter just as theirs and any other adult's. Parents holding conversations with their children enable them to express their emotions with not only them but others too. In the future, if I do have kids of my own I will not use physical discipline upon them and I hope many others don't too.
