     "We are not saying that spanking children must cause violence, but parents are taking it as an example for their children. , they may think that spanking children is a right way and that they may carry that forward and get in trouble at last, "said Jeff Temple.

    In the study, Temple's group interviewed 758 persons. About 69 percent said they were spanked during childhood, and Spanking makes children have poor relationships with their parents later in life. , in order to avoid the punishment, they may tell a lie.

    Nowadays, more and more teenagers have too much pressure. They find their1are getting heavier and hours they spend on their homework are becoming2. They think they should be allowed to practice their hobbies. But their parents think the hobbies can3their schoolwork. Should parents allow their children4their own decisions?

    Liu Ying, a fifteen-year-old girl, is a singing star at school. She always wants to be a professional5when she grows up.6, her parents don't want her to practice singing because they think their daughter should study hard to get good7and go to a good university. "She needs to spend more time8her homework because it's9to become a professional singing star," says her father. But Liu Ying really10. "I know my parents 11me.

    My friend feels that every kid before a certain age（not sure what that age really is）can't make his own decisions, but I don't agree. I feel that young children have the ability to choose, and parents need to provide them with the tools to make that choice. With these tools, children can make decisions to benefit themselves and make themselves happy. I have always encouraged my children to make their own decisions. However, sometimes things change—usually when they go to school. When they are at school, do they have choices about things, such as what to learn and how to learn? It is as if the children are not allowed to make their own decisions. Decisions are made for them! Will they be able to make decisions by themselves when they grow older? Many parents feel that it is easier to teach than to give children space and time to learn on their own. Getting kids to make decisions and to learn from the wrong ones takes a long time. I guess there is still a lot to learn about being a parent.
