If the child is punished the correct way, it will not cause the child to turn to violence. Spanking is a very effective tool when used properly. There are specific ways in which to spank children. First of all, the parent should establish boundaries. When the child breaks these boundaries, he or she should be punished.
It is surely wrong and unfair to punish a child for responding in a natural way to having important needs neglected. For this reason, punishment is not only ineffective in the long run, it is also clearly unjust. 3. Punishment distracts the child from learning how to resolve conflict in an effective and humane way. As the educator John Holt wrote, "When we make a child afraid, we stop learning dead in its tracks."
Should parents be allowed to spank their kids? A child should definitely be spanked of course by the parent or guardian because a firm spanking teaches one not to do something bad again. A simple pop across the wrists or on the hand could possibly save a child's life in certain situations. A pop on the wrists or a pop on the butt is something the child will more likely remember far more than such of a "stern talking to" or a time out. Eventually after a few spankings here and there the child will learn from right and wrong very quickly.
4.3 All settings should have a designated person to deal with child protection issues. If I have concerns that a child is being abused it is my job to disclose this information to the designated/manager of the setting unless I think by disclosing the information will put the child/young person in further danger. This can be very hard to work out so having colleagues to discuss this will help me come to a quick conclusion and more accurately. This can become very difficult if I feel that there is child/young person abuse issue and the designated/manager thinks that there isn’t. I think if I have a doubt then it is better to be safe than sorry, maybe monitor the child and gather more information but if the child is in significant danger then report it to the safeguarding board immediately.
This is where children/young people will be taught that no matter what anyone else says a child/young person’s body is theirs and only theirs. this will help in the short term because it will help give a child/young person the confidence to start saying no and being able to tell someone if they feel their body isn’t just their but someone who is abusing them. It will help in the long run because I the future a child/young person will remember this and know that no one owns their body but them and that means they can avoid abuse, and bad situations where their body is being used by other people. Providing children/young people with information on how to get help such as child
Staff need to treat all children and young people in the same way because if children think they are being treated differently to each other it can cause resentment towards the other children aswell as the staff and could cause conflicts between them both. Being consistent with rules and boundaries allows children and young people to think about their behaviour and what the consequences will be before they act. It will allow them to make decisions based on seeing the experiences of others and what they have seen when others have or have not followed the rules. If they see someone adhering to the rules and being give praise or a reward for doing so but then that same praise or reward is not given to them for the same thing, they may feel as though they are not valued and may cause them to act differently in the future by not adhering to the rules.
A staff member may unconsciously or consciously grab a child or drag them in an attempt to get them to perform a particular activity. This mishandling may cause physical harm such as bruises or psychological harm on the child. Thus is against the United Nations Convention on the rights of child 1989, every child matters: change for children (2003) and Human Rights Act 1998 all of which promote the welfare of children and addresses their safety. Under the Independent Safeguarding Authority's (ISA) and Vetting and Barring Scheme all those wishing to work with the children provide an enhanced disclosure which is usually in the form of a CRB check. This is one of the ways that eliminates the possibility of offenders working with the children and safeguards the children against abuse or potential abuse.
For example a child may not want to be friends with someone in their class any more, they may not enjoy being in their company and want to play with other children instead. We can support the child in ending this friendship by helping them explore their thoughts and feelings, talking to them about why they feel they should end it, what would be the pros and cons of ending it and how they plan to do so. By talking it through with a child care worker the child will be supported and informed so as they can make the best possible choice for themselves. When talking to the child we can show them support by ensuring they know that no matter their reasons for wanting to end the relationship that they will not be judged and that you are there for them no matter which decision they choose to make. There may come a time when we ourselves as child care workers need support in helping the child to end a relationship.
In my culture, it is a belief that beating a child, along with other unorthodox methods of discipline, will build character, and straighten out a child’s behavior. Tim Holt, father of 4, likes spanking because it “gets [the] attention” needed from the child. The article continues by introducing James Dobson, a psychologist and founder of Focus on the Family. Dobson believes “The minor pain that is associated with this deliberate misbehavior tends to inhibit it”. Beatings are done with the goal to teach children a lesson, and ensure they will not continue to misbehave.
For example if you tell a child not to do something they are likely to wonder why they cant do it, and do it anyway as they are curious of the reasons why they are not allowed to do it. Allowing children to take risks also enables staff the opportunity to assess them efficiently which may enable them to provide the support the child needs. The UNCRC states that every child has the right to make choices, this means children should be allowed to make choices about managing their own risks in a controlled environment. Depriving children of taking risks can: Lack of experience to carry out tasks efficiently Decrease opportunities for physical opportunities An inability to cope in stressful situations Problems managing other forms of risks Poor social skills Children should be able to take both physical risks, social risks and intellectual risks. It is important for children to take physical risks because; Helps them to learn to negotiate natural hazards such as ice Learn to use equipment safely and purposely Developing control and coordination Children should also be allowed to take social and moral risks because; Helps them to develop an understanding of expectations and rules within different social settings Develops reasoning skills Helps them to negotiate with others including learning to say ‘no’ It is also important for
