Do you agree with hitting as a punishment to your child?

I saw and heard that some parents will do hit their children as a punishment if they do some thing bad or wrong. Honestly I don't really agree and like that. I don't think it is also a good experience for the child especially for their psychological aspect. If you have another idea or more information, feel free to join this discussion.

I agree with you when you say your don't agree with hitting your kids. I was brought up with Corporal Punishment, and I can see advantages to the Newer Idea of Psychology, instead. For instance, How can you teach non violence with Violence? There is much, to much, Violence in the world today without using it as a teaching tool.Psychology makes a lot more sense to me. When a child is disobedient you sit him/her down and explain the circumstances. You might tell the child that if he/she keeps his/her bedroom clean all week you will give him/her a dollar. But if, on the otherhand, the bedroom is not cleaned, then you will see that he/she cleans it on Saturday, and will also have to clean the hallways and stairsteps as well.

In this regard,I say more.In fact,blame those parents.In china,there are some disadvantages of the university entrance examination,most of the results they decided a person is fate.Children perform better,we will be able in good schools,we will be able to find good jobs,the future quality of life will be better.Those parents to allow their children later than before,they are very strict on the right.Of course,some parents own education is not high,so it would not be a good method of teaching children. I think that China is education system unchanged,this situation will not disapper.We said,I said not right?

yeah. i think its right. but not to the point of really hurting a kid. when i was a child though i was hit, its really kind of light punishment. it really dont hurt, i cry not because of pain but because im ashamed im being hit in front of my sister and brother and relatives.
