　　不打孩子的十个理由

　　Ten Reasons Not to Hit Your Kids

　　by Jan Hunt, M.Sc.

　　In Norway and Sweden, it is illegal for a parent, teacher, or anyone else

　　to spank a child. In some states and provinces, it is only illegal for a

　　teacher to spank. In all areas of North America, physical punishment by

　　a parent, as long as it is not severe, is still seen by many as necessary

　　discipline, and condoned, or even encouraged.

　　For the past several years, many psychiatrists, sociological researchers,

　　and parents have recommended that we seriously consider banning the physical

　　punishment of children. The most important reason, according to Dr. Peter

　　Newell, coordinator of the organization End Punishment of Children (EPOCH)1,

　　is that "all people have the right to protection of their physical integrity,

　　and children are people too.“

　　在挪威和瑞典等国家，父母、老师，以及任何其他的人打孩子都是违法的。在美国的一些州和省，只有教师打孩子是违法的。在北美的所有地区，虽然父母都不用体罚来惩罚孩子了，但是，有很多地方还在宽恕甚至鼓励这种打孩子的行为。在过去的几年里，很多精神病学家，社会学研究者和家长强烈建议禁止父母对孩子进行肉体惩罚。ＰＮewell博士（“停止惩罚孩子协会”领导人）认为，最重要的原因是：“所有的人都有人身完整性受到保护的权利，而孩子也是人。”

　　1. Hitting children teaches them to become hitters themselves. Extensive

　　research data is now available to support a direct correlation between corporal punishment in childhood and aggressive or violent behavior in the teenage and adult years. Virtually all of the most dangerous criminals were regularly threatened and punished in childhood. It is nature''s plan that children learn attitudes and behaviors through observation and imitation of their parents'' actions, for good or ill. Thus it is the responsibility of parents to set an example of empathy and wisdom.

　　１、父母打孩子，使孩子学会了去打别人。更多的研究数据表明，童年受到肉体惩罚与少年暴力甚至成年人暴力之间有直接的关系。事实上，多数危险的罪犯，都在小时候经常受到打骂和惩罚。自然界的法则是：孩子们从小就观察和模仿他们父母的态度和行为，不管那些行为和态度是好的还是坏的，他们照单全收。所以，给孩子树立一个有爱心和智慧的榜样，是每位父母的责任所在。

　　2. In many cases of so-called "bad behavior", the child is simply responding

　　in the only way he can, given his age and experience, to neglect of basic

　　needs. Among these needs are: proper sleep and nutrition, treatment of hidden

　　allergy, fresh air, exercise, and sufficient freedom to explore the world

　　around him. But his greatest need is for his parents'' undivided attention.
