Exercising Physical Punishment.

To exercise physical punishment or not is an issue nowadays. Even the government has spent time on this topic. In Holland, physical punishment is banned by the court. Parents do not have the right to exercise physical punishment. Discipline is also a big problem nowadays. Teeners have problems being on time and there is no respect for older people. I believe that this will change if physical punishment is exercised.
(this is your position statement)

If children do not want to listen, it is a good thing to physically punish them for their behaviour. Otherwise, they will not listen again the next time because they know they won't get punished for their behaviour. When the parent is able to exercise physical punishment, it helps them to gain the respect of the child and teaches the child to be disciplined.

Parents can not have authority if they can not exercise physical punishment because children, especially teeners, have the habit of getting defensive when older people confront them when they misbehave. If these children or/and teeners, after asking the same question, still do not want to listen, they must be physically punished.

Exercising physical punishment is a good thing because children do not want to listen. It is a good way to gain respect as a father or mother. In Holland, physical punishment is banned by the court, but it must be changed in the future, because physical punishment teaches children to respect the adult.
