Although, currently, the legislation indicates that hitting children is abuse, approximately half of Spanish parents beat their children. If we talk about beatings that endanger the health and physical integrity of children, the question is clear, that is a crime. However, opinions change when talking about whipping, a fish or a slap to get the child to obey or punish a bad behavior.
To mistreat is to treat someone badly, hurt them and use physical force violently. However, despite the physical and psychological problems that may arise from the scourges, society is still divided and the laws, apparently clear, are not so because they are permissive with whipping or pescozones. Is it whipping badly?
There are many nuances. Many of the parents who use spanking today were probably beaten, and much more, by children, and they claim, many, that they left no traces on them or even benefited them. Of course, it is not the same to beat up as to whip, but, if this were done to an adult, an old man or a defenseless person, all our alarms would go off and we would consider that he was being mistreated. In this sense we launch a new question of the week:
If hitting an adult is mistreating it, should whipping children be considered abuse?
When a loving father gives a whip or slap to his son, he usually does so overwhelmed by circumstances, overwhelmed by inappropriate behavior and endorsed, in some ways by the upbringing he received. Therefore I would like to ask you what you think of whipping, cheeks or cakes. Are they useful for something? Do they teach anything?
We have all, once, been exhausted and nervous, about to explode. Some people, even convinced that the physical punishment is not correct or useless, have fallen to whip their son, although then they feel guilty and want to learn other resources to avoid it. Has it happened to you? Have you ever given your children a scourge?
Last week's question
Last week we asked you: If you could go back in time, what would you change about your birth?Well, although all mothers tend to remember, even if there have been problems and childbirth did not happen as they wished, those moments as the most beautiful and intense of their life. However, there are things that could have been otherwise and, if we could go back, we would change them.
The answer most valued by our readers is that of Ana Bueno Bayo
The truth is that I prepared a lot for that moment, I wanted to feel everything and go through a conscious birth, although my pregnancy was so wonderful that in part I did not want it to end. When the day came, the first contractions were great, I was alone, I wrote to him, I spoke to him, I welcomed him, I sang to him, I got nervous, and when that began to accelerate, the greatest illusion of my life traveled through me. The rest was a respected birth, good, beautiful and only 2 or 3 hours from the last part. But if I could change something ... I would change myself at that moment. I do not know if I expected much, but I stayed with a thorn ... I realized my own threshold of pain and I really wanted to stop that, I felt unable to give birth, I felt that I broke, and that nothing (or breathing, not even the ball, nothing) could calm him. In the end it was an excellent delivery, with 7 pushes and easy recovery, the little one went out without suffering and at one point he recognized his tit… lived naturally but I don't know if I could do it again; _ (
In the rest of the answers we can find, above all, the unforgettable memories of a very important day and the enormous happiness of the birth of the child, although it highlights that many readers wish they could have had a more natural birth and with fewer unnecessary interventions.
Now you can answer the new question for this week in our Answers section but we ask that, during this week you have to answer it, answer in our section and not in this entry, so that we can take it into account for next week .
