I have some unruly children and they don't behave unless I get the belt and spank them hard. is it wrong to discipline your children?

Disciplining children is an important part of parenting, however it is essential to use positive reinforcement and other techniques such as time-outs before resorted to using corporal punishment. corporal punishment carries a risk of potential harm and can cause negative affects on children in the long-term therefore it should only be used as a last resort. Alternatives include giving children consequences that are proportionate to the behaviour, setting reasonable limits, providing affection and praise and modeling desirable behavior. It is never wrong to teach your child right from wrong, but hitting them isn't the way to do it.

No, it is not wrong to discipline your children as long as you are doing so in a loving and safe manner. Spanking them hard enough to cause physical pain may be seen as an unreasonable form of discipline though, and should be avoided if possible. Finding other forms of positive reinforcement or disciplinary techniques should be explored first.
