Having social workers talk to families and suggesting solutions is important for this problem. First, the social worker will define physical punishment. Then, they will talk to the parents of each family and explain the risk of violence in a household, such as affecting a child's physical and mental health.

It will encourage them to practice this method to their children, which will be beneficial to the overall wellness of their

It is said that children who are mistreated by their parents and learned aggressive behaviors through social interaction went on to express these behaviors later in life and in their intimate relationships (Ehrensaft, Cohen, Brown, Smailes, Chen & Johnson, 2003). There is no doubt that witnessing and experiencing violence firsthand can increase one’s tolerance for violence and puts one at a greater risk for exhibiting the same behaviors as an adult. The intergenerational transmission of violence hypothesis also shows that childhood experiences from abuse or witnessing domestic

Psychological maltreatment is a pattern of psychically destructive behaviors such as rejection, isolation, terrorizing, ignoring, and corrupting the child. Psychological maltreatment hinders development of healthy self-esteem, the ability to obtain and maintain healthy intimacy and relationships, and development of social competence. (p.197) In order to prove psychological maltreatment the worker must observe components of identifiable parental behavior that creates demonstrable harm to the child implying a causal link between parental behavior and harm to the child. Due to societal views and norms detecting psychological abuse due to parental behaviors is difficult because the punishment is considered socially normal and acceptable.

In this paper, I will argue and show parents how spanking and physically disciplining our children can have negative and detrimental consequences because it causes psychological damage, a lack of trust between child and parent, and when it is not done in the right mind set it can lead to more serious matters such as child abuse. “In 2012, a national survey showed more than half of women and three-quarters of men in the United States believe a child sometimes needs a "good hard spanking." ” Some may argue that spanking helps the child realize that their behavior is wrong and needs to be fixed, when parents discipline physically it might be a quick fix to stop the behavior, but as time goes on it does not only harm them physically but mentally and socially. While I agree that when a child’s behavior is wrong, we need to help them fix it, but I disagree that it should be done by physical punishment. Studies show that when kids are spanked or physically punished they tend to act out in the same way and choose to be aggressive like their parents.

My mother was raised with an abusive father and a compromising mother (who too was dealing with the abuse), so I have seen how a negative experience can have a positive impact/result (message) on a person/child. I have now grown a curiosity to understand the different limits of child abuse and believe what my parents did benefitted me and any other children who received this discipline. With that in mind, I am going to define, and explore different aspects of child abuse with some modern examples.     Some people believe that physical punishments can be degrading and negatively affect the mental health of the child compared to those who think it teaches discipline and how to respect others without any significant damage to the child 's psyche.
