Paddle (spanking)

Okay little buddy, so sometimes parents or teachers might use their hand to give a quick pat on the bottom of a child who has misbehaved. This is called a paddle or spanking. The goal is to help the child understand that what they did was wrong and to discourage them from doing it again in the future.

But it's important that the paddle or spanking is only used when absolutely necessary, and only with the right amount of force. Otherwise, it can be very painful and scary for the child. That's why it's always better to use positive reinforcement and encouragement to help kids learn and grow.
