Child MED – Corporal Punishment Big Bruizer CHILD Costume
For parents– is it appropriate? I work with children and every now and then I get parents who tell me that it’s okay to spank their 1 year old because they do it at home. My work’s policy prohibits spanking, but we do discipline appropriately for their age. For instance, I think it’s more appropriate to spank a child at age 3 than 18 months. But it seems a lot of parents believe spanking is appropriate at 18 months, even though that seems awfully young.
The argument is that children that young do understand and know what they are doing, hence they need a punishment to fit it. Now, I’m not a parent but I know a lot about child development and it doesn’t seem to fit. Children do a lot of things out of a strong desire for curiosity and also test boundaries. So spanking a child who is 18 months because they wanted to see what would happen after they tipped a can over seems inappropriate.
What do parents think? What do you do?
I don’t want this to be a “spanking is bad” question, but whether it’s appropriate for certain ages. It’s not for me to decide whether or not spanking is good or not good.
Also, I know a lot of parents who spank their 1 and 2 year olds because the parents are convinced that their children DO understand what they are doing because their child will do something inappropriate and then look at their parents for their reactions. Does that mean the child is simply looking to see if they are overstepping a boundary, or is the child waiting on their parent’s reactions as to whether or not they should continue with the behavior? I don’t think it makes a child “bad”.
