Should parents be allowed to hit their child?

I think parents should hit their child, but do you agree? Well I do because it sets them straight. It helps them with their behavior. Last self-respect and for others.

Parents should hit their child. Why? To set them straight. Let them know who call the shots. Not saying that they should hit them all the time. Just to put them back in their place. For example: When your child get out of hand put them back in order.

Another reason why parents should hit their child is. Behavior. Sometimes you have to let your child be a good person and sometimes hitting them gives them a taste of reality. Besides its not like their child is being beaten. It’s just a little slap or two. Hitting your child let them know that a thing that they do or are thinking of is wrong. Or maybe right but said at the wrong time.

One last reason why a child should be hit by their parent is. Self-respect and for others. Giving them a taste of their own medicine. How? They hurt you when they act out showing people like you didn’t raise them right. So words wont scare them when you cuss them out but your fist would. Not trying to be verbally and physically mean. But it is true. Now of days kids are not that affected of words. Sometimes you need to put your hand on them and your point across.

To bring things to wrap parents should be allowed to hit their child. Why? For one. To set your child straight. It helps them with their behavior. Last self-respect and for others. Again not saying that you should beat your child. Just a slap or two. As a parent and maybe as a child do you think that it is fair for a parent to hit their child still? I know I do.
