Critical Analysis of "Corporal punishment and its effect in Children" by Rimal HS¹, Pokharel A²

Introduction
In the year 2013, Authors have researched and reviewed Globally and in the developing country
specifically Nepal, stating that “ Corporal punishment in children is still a major problem throughout the
globe and more common in developing countries like Nepal. Several researches done across the globe
have clearly established the fact that use of corporal punishment at home, school or alternative settings
is associated with higher prevalence of externalizing behaviour of youth, substance use, depression,
juvenile delinquency, poor academic performance and marital conflict as an adult.” ( Journal of
Kathmandu Medical College, Vol. 2, No. 3, Issue 5, Jul.-Sep., 2013)

Summary of work

This research stated that how will the corporal punishment work by stating that “Advocates of physical
punishment may have observed that it may lead to immediate compliance but this outcome tends to be
short lived, with the child learning to avoid the behavior in front of the adult, rather than actually
changing their behavior.” , “Globally, more and more countries are establishing legislation that provides
legal defense against assault of children by parents as part of discipline and many countries are
reviewing their legislation in this area. It is important to educate parents about the most effective forms
of discipline that will help to guide children’s behavior.” But still also inconsistent in the countries and
especially to the developing countries fir the reason that some are still lingering to the effects not now
but on the long run. Some may disagree in using corporal punishment to the extent that they will injure
a child not only physically but emotionally.

Argument
They have already discussed on what will be the effects of Corporal punishment and also the long term
effects. And inNepal, Corporal punishment remains a significant issue in many developing countries,
including Nepal, and it can have profound negative effects on children's well-being and development. Also In
Nepal, corporal punishment is still widely accepted and practiced in various settings, including schools,
homes, and institutions. This is often rooted in cultural beliefs, lack of awareness about child rights, and a lack
of effective positive disciplinary techniques.
Unfortunately, I don't have specific data or research on the prevalence and effects of corporal punishment
on children in Nepal. However, based on global research and studies on corporal punishment, we can infer
some potential effects it may have on Nepali children.
And also as statedCorporal punishment is still widely practiced in Nepal, both at home and in schools, despite
efforts by the government and child rights organizations to discourage and ban it. It's important to note that
these potential effects are based on global research and may not fully reflect the specific cultural and social
contexts of Nepal. More research and data on the prevalence and impact of corporal punishment in Nepal
would be helpful in understanding the extent of the issue and developing appropriate interventions and
support systems for children and families.

Conclusion
In Conclusion, I can state that Rimal HS and Pokharel A's research regarding on the corporal analysis and
it's effect on children is a really great piece of work. Because they stated on the research that Corporal
punishment is still a major problem not only it is exercised in Nepal but to some countries. The things
that fascinated me in this study not only they touched on how will be the probable causes of corporal
punishment and it's long term effects. Also they have stated the solutions on how to handle this
situations.
