Should grounding children be banned?
Well grounding is a form of discipline, and yes it is old fashioned but so was whooping the child (note I’m saying whooping not beating. Beating is wrong.) I dont think grounding should be banned, solely because that I believe that it will cause undiciplined children to grow up and be unrespectful people further corrupting the society of today. Since the ban of whooping children as a form of punishment, teens have become more disrespectful and bad habits have given to rise. I think that by banning grounding, this will make children even more disrespectful in the future because it fails to teach them right from wrong as effectively, and as an end result, more crimes ect… (Of course banning whooping probably was a good move, since many people fail to acknowledge the difference between whooping and beating) Spare the rod, spoil the child.
No, I don’t think it should be banned. Well, I actually can’t pass an honest opinion because I’ve never been grounded in my life – my parents have the same opinion as you seem to. However, if I had a kid who was behaving badly, I’d ground them without a second thought. It’s better to discipline them when they’re young so they aren’t screwed up when they’re older. (I’m not saying that your kid will get screwed up if you don’t ground them, BTW.
Wow!!!! I’m guessing you’re either a child who has recently been grounded by their parents or you don’t have kids. Grounding is not cruelty. It is a valid means of punishment. Grounding does not mean locking your child in their bedroom. It can mean that they just aren’t allowed out with their pals. Not all children can be reasoned with and different things work for different kids. Each parent does what best for their kids and what works and I don’t think anyone else has the right to question another parents means of doling out discipline, unless of course their beating their child up. Each to their own.
