ABSTRACT

Parents in all societies grapple with how to raise their children in a way that prepares them for the complexities of life. In order to accomplish this daunting task, parents rely on their own socialization into parenting, their intuitive sense of right and wrong and their overall cultural beliefs have been examined empirically. It reported that 59% of the Jamaican mothers in their study indicated that they used a belt or stick to beat their children. Grant (Leo-Rhynie, 1997) found that 84% of mothers of preschool children in his study admitted to beating their children. In Smith's (1989) study, 71% of rural parents and 55% of urban parents reported flogging as the most frequent response to perceived misbehavior in their children. To emphasize his point, Smith noted that spanking (a milder form of punishment) was virtually unknown, being practiced in only 3% of families. Walker et al. (1998) noted that 53% of the adolescent girls in their study reported that they had been physically punished by their parents during the previous year. In addition, children complained that adults, especially their parents, often publicly humiliated them
