chosen: I strongly disagree with the notion that any type of corporal punishment is acceptable. While physical harm may not be caused, emotional damage most definitely will be. In the parent's place, an alternative method of discipline should have been used. The use of physical aggression is not an appropriate form of reinforcement and only causes resentment, anger and distrust between the parent and child. Furthermore, children are more likely to use violent language and gestures, as they observe and imitate the same in their environment. Thus, it is important to be conscious of language used at home and other influences that may affect our children in negative ways.
