To spank is not the only a way to deal your children

In “Our view on corporal punishment: To spank or not to spank?” the author writes about corporal punishment. Fifty years ago, a lot of children were spanked, but nowadays it has been changed. It is a form of violence and that causes psychological harm. There are some places where corporal punishment is still allowed. So government should change the law. I am going to write about the ways to care for children. Parents can control them by giving advice and letting children know how much the parents love them,; conversation is the most important thing.
First, when children do a bad thing, parents might give them punishment. But I think that is not the only a way to make them realize they did a bad thing. The parents can give them advice. When I was a child, my parents never spanked me, even once. They just gave me advice; then I didn’t do the same thing again.
Second, all parents need to show children how much they love them. Most children don’t know whether their parents love them or not. So if they shout or give advice, they think just that their parents don’t love them. So a more important thing is that parents need to show them how much they love them first.
Third, conversation is really important, not only between family but between every relationship. There are not many children who talk to parents and spend much time. I also have not spent time, or had conversation a lot with my family, because my parents were so busy. I was lonely, so I thought of everything bad at the moment. Even if you are busy, you need to make time and have a conversation with your children. Then your children would be smart without spanking.
Corporal punishment is a big problem in the world. I don’t think children are animals. They also are able to think and understand. So if you really want your children be a good person without corporal punishment, you ought to say them how much you love them, have a conversation a lot even if you have much time, and also you can give them advice instead of spanking.
