First of all, corporal punishment will do harm to children's physical and mental health. Corporal punishment can cause physical harm to children, such as skin abrasions and fractures, which are the consequences of violence. At the same time, children may feel fear, pain or anger, which may cause psychological discomfort. These physical and mental injuries may leave a long-term shadow on children and affect their lifelong development.
Secondly, corporal punishment will have a negative impact on children's psychological growth. Children have strong self-esteem. If parents often punish their children, they may feel powerless and difficult to succeed, which may eventually lead to their inferiority and inability to believe in themselves. In addition, children may become too timid or lazy because of corporal punishment, which will affect their physical and mental health and psychological growth.
Finally, corporal punishment will affect family relations. The family should be a harbor of love, and corporal punishment makes the family full of violence and fear. This bad family environment will affect children's social skills and interpersonal relationships, and even affect the relationship between family members.
Based on the above analysis, corporal punishment is more harmful. So I think we should emphasize rational education methods, such as communication, praise and guidance, to ensure the healthy growth of children and family harmony.
