media type="custom" key="5327467" Ban on Smacking I want you to firstly consider - to what degree can the law be too intrusive in our day to day lives? The handout I have supplied you has differing views on parenting and if it is acceptable to smack a child. Should the law be involved to this degree in parenting? You are required to write a response to the material provided clearly arguing your point of view. (I expect more than a two sentence response as this is a very sensitive issue for many people who have polarised opinions

Parents shouldn’t let their children off for doing the wrong thing but physical punishment isn’t any better than what the child/ren did in the first place. Parents shouldn’t hit their child/ren because of a little mistake they made because it could cause the children to hit their toys and want to hit other people. If parents want to discipline their children they should tell them calmly what their doing wrong not by smacking them and yelling at them. Smacking should be illegal and should be fined money if they hit their child/ren. Mother of 3 Belinda O’Sullivan says she would hit her children 3 and 2 on the hand or bottom because their in danger, because their misbehaving near a busy road but she wouldn’t hit her 6 months son because he doesn’t understand. While as Mangan Georgiou smacked her first child when she was young but realised it was wrong straight away and hasn’t laid a finger on her ever since and never smacked her son. “I used to think a little smack won’t hurt, but it’s violent” but since she doesn’t like smacking she takes TV privileges, doesn’t aloud them to have friends over or pocket money withdrawal instead of smacking them. Personally I wasn’t really hit as a child and if they did something wrong I would yell at them but if they were did danger I would have to do something to get their attention. 2.
