The family is the first environment in which a child is, grows up, learns and develops. It is very important that the child grows up in quality and healthy conditions, so that he can develop properly. Raising a child is not an easy task, it takes a lot of patience, compassion, attention, understanding and support. Many parents use corporal punishment to raise their children, often due to ignorance, lack of information, or they believe that it is an acceptable way of raising a child, and that in this way they will develop into a good person. But all this in most cases only brings damage to the child's development. It is very important for parents to put aside their stress, anger and problems when they are with their child, because their stress often reflects negatively on children. If parents use punishment, they must know which punishment is best depending on the situation that has occurred, how to enforce the punishment and be persistent. The main goal of this paper is to show that corporal punishment of children is still quite prevalent even though it is prohibited by law. Explain the negative impact of such a way of raising on the child, on his growth and development, but also on the relationship with parents. In exchange for corporal punishment, there are many other ways of disciplining and learning the child, which are much more pleasant and better for the child, but also for the parents. We are a model of behavior for children and it is very important how we behave towards our child, because when the child grows up, he will behave in the same way towards his environment. Conversation and healthy communication are one of the most important elements of a healthy upbringing and relationship with a child.
