Should Parents Be Allowed to Hit Their Child?

The big question is should parents be allowed to hit their children. Well I say yes. They should be allowed because of behavior, respect to others, and also they should be allowed to a certain extent.


First of all children are not angles. If your child was to act up in the streets or while you’ll out period, you would hit them. Also they might act up in school. He / she might be getting bad grades, and when you put them on punishment it don’t work so you would bet them.

Secondly, what if they were to disrespect others you would be so mad. Your child would probably talk back to their teacher and or an adult’s period. They might talk about other people and or spread rumors. That might embarrass you.

Finally, it’s ok to hit your child to a certain extent. You can hit them but don’t hit them to hurt them, just to hurt their feelings. In Huck Finn his dad hits him to hurt him for example, “I reckoned he was gone he come back and put his head in again, and told me to mind about school, because he was going to lay for me and lick me if I didn’t drop it.”

To sum up I do think that parents should hit their child. They should hit them for behavior, respect to others but only to a certain extent. They shouldn’t hit them to hurt them but to hurt their feelings. Other then that parents should LOVE their child.
