Should Parents Be Allowed to Hit Their Kids?

Should parents be allowed to hit their kids? I believe so because it’s a form a discipline, you will be able to keep your child in their place, and it helps you get your point across.
Don’t you know those kids who just don’t listen? Talking doesn’t work. So 96% of the time if your child doesn’t listen and is constantly disobeying you, your next instinct is to start swinging. When you hit your children you let them know whose boss. A quick smack will say “now stop” without you having to say a word.
Sometimes the youth get out of hand. Like for example in the supermarket. You tell them they cannot have something. They begin to act out. What do you do? Give them what they want and show that when they want something all they have to do is act out to get it? Or smack them upside the head and show them who has the upper hand? Other times your youngsters back talk you when you’re in the wrong mood. Back hand them and they will think twice before those smart remarks slip out through their lips.
Hitting your child is a form of punishment. That doesn’t mean abuse your authority. Huck’s dad abused him. He hit him for simple things and locked him up when he wasn’t home. That’s not civil. Be realistic. Kids will be kids but sometimes they act too grown and they need to stay in their place. Don’t let the force take advantage of you.
In conclusion, parents should be able to hit their kids because you get your point across quicker, it’s a form of discipline, and you will be able to keep your child in their place. Why shouldn’t parents hit their kids?
