In my town, I saw many parents beat their children even if for some small mistakes!They will not communicate with kids in peace ! And they always said that : kids grew in their beats! I am very confused , because i always consider that communication is the best solutin! Am I wrong ? Beat child is the only way of teaching kid?

Beating is not the solution for a kid to know their mistake. If they commit mistake or did something wrong try to talk to him and explain to them that what they did is wrong and they will not do it again. Kids now a day are different they are more open and easy to learn and understand for me communication is the best to teach a child to their mistake. beating them can not do right you just teach a kid to be violent we parents must have more patience, broad ubderstanding and love for our children soon as they grow up they will learn from their mistake and avoid to do it again. Talk to them nicely explain to them their mistake and what happen if they keep on doing it and give warnings that if they do it again you will funish them.

beating is not good. i do spank my kids or give them punishment but does not beat them. but of course i always start with talking to them. now that they are teens already i sledom spank them for the really listen to me (i hope lol). spare the rod spoil the child but not by beating but by spanking.

No way! this is mean and in my country you could take action so these kids didn't have to live like that but this isn't the case around the world and i know i have to accept that. I really hate child abusers i think it is cowardly and cruel and just a powerplay game for frustrated adults with low self esteem and offer their child no parental guidance. you shouldn't teach your kids to lash out when angry! where does that get you in life!

Absolutely not, beating a child is wrong. And for something that is small, all they need is talking to and if they don't listen, take something away like games or priviledges. Now if they are out of control in their behavior, then a smack on the bottom in needed to get their attention, but never beat a child..
