Hello student,

Ideas about how to punish children have changed over time. Also, they

differ from culture to culture and family to family. Some parents believe

that that spanking children is the best way to punish. Others think that

parents should never hit their children. Most parents punish their children

in the same way that they were punished by their parents. Although all

parents agree that children must learn the difference between right and

wrong, there is a lot of disagreement about the best way to teach them

this lesson. How did your parents punish you? How did you feel about the

punishment then?
