This research focuses on how the negative effect of hitting the children under one years. It involve 3.870 families as the samples of the research. The result of the research showed that hitting the children under the three years can make them to be more aggressive and it can make them to have some depressions and restlessness when they reach the age of 5 years.
The previous research indicates that hitting the children will have a great influence toward the children`s behavior, but no one who has done some investigation related to this problem.
A survey conducted by the Child Trends Data Bank found that 75% of the woman and 65% of the men agreed that the children can be hit little harder. Based on some reports show that 90% of the parents believe that hitting the children lightly is allowed.
But we have to consider that basically it is not allowed because based on the research done by Tulane University published in Pediatric Journal in 2010 show that hitting the children under 3 years can make them to become more aggressive when they reach the age of 5 years.
The children under 1 year can`t be given some punishment because they don’t know why they get some punishment from their parents, and why they are hit.
Hitting the children can be used as an alternative punishment but it should be done for the children who is 2-6 years. It can be done when the parents try to give some explanation while the children do some bad habit and the parent can give a timeout punishment for them. But it can be used as the last choice to be done and actually it is not recommended.
Summary:
- Hitting the children can encourage them to be more aggressive when they reach the age of 5 years.
- The light hitting can be done for the children who is 2 years of age, but it is not recommended.
