· Although punishing children ruthlessly can be barbaric and disastrous, I argue that non-violent punishment should be used in appropriate situations, because of the risk of psychological trauma the child undergoes due to violence, maintain healthy discipline, and possible alternate methods of rewards to encourage positive behaviors and prevent negative ones.  

CLAIM Punishing children DATA I will use this quote, “A number of recent studies have confirmed the widespread use of potentially harmful physical and psychological punishments in homes, schools and institutions” as a place of violent punishment to children(Garb,Yaakov, Tsofit 274).

CLAIM:  Psychological Trauma

DATA : I will use the following quote, “Studies from high, middle, and low-income countries document that…they continued by stating this borderline personality order, anxiety, sleep and eating disorders, and suicidal thoughts and attempts” (Hillis 396)

CLAIM maintain healthy discipline Data: I will use this quote, “Children’s internal representations are reflective of their earlier attachment experiences and the ways in which they internalized those earlier experiences.”(Lee 121)

Warrant:

CLAIM possible alternate methods of rewards

DATA: I will use this quote “an ‘average rating of the week’ is produced. This determines the pocket money the young people receive (less money with lower scores)” (Palomares 6)

Conclusion:
