Smacking is one of the most common forms of discipline at home, but it should not be justified under the name of good parental correction for many reasons.

First of all, smacking is not always an effective discipline method. Rather it may cause side effects. A study shows that smacking can work for young children up to age 2-3, yet it does not work for older children. Furthermore, the change IN children’s behaviour patterns may take place only in presence of a smacker. In other words, smacking could succeed in stopping the behaviour immediately but fail to shape it in the long term. I have seen some parents spanking their children, saying “I told you don’t do that.” When children are smacked without reasonable explanation, which commonly happens, they do not understand what they have done wrong and it could discourage them and ultimately lead to low self-esteem.

Not only is smacking an ineffective discipline method, but it also can cross the line between smacking and child abuse. In particular, when smacking is regularly used, children can become immune from smacking. As children take it for granted that smacking always happens as a result of their misbehaviour, parents need to increase the degree of smacking to make it work.
