Quickly correct behavior
For some children, corporal punishment may be a more direct correction than talking or moral education.
Promote obedience
In some families, parents may feel that gentle methods are not enough to manage their children, and corporal punishment has become a "quick solution".
Exercise one's will
Corporal punishment is considered to exercise children's willpower and endurance and teach them to remain strong in the face of difficulties.
Shaping values
Through corporal punishment, parents hope that their children can clearly know which behaviors are right and which are wrong.
Emotional corporal punishment
When parents are in a bad mood or out of control, corporal punishment may bring psychological trauma to children, leading them to become aggressive or lack of self-confidence.
Habitual corporal punishment
Long-term corporal punishment may form a habit and have a negative impact on children's physical and mental health and moral development.
Rebellious thoughts
Children may regard corporal punishment as a threat, leading to rebellious psychology and affecting mental health.
