Child Discipline

Nooo don't do that. What people are you guys if you do that?? You're kids,too-.-

 

well.... getting spanked isn't as bad as it seems. i've been spanked plenty of times and i can honestly say it's done much better than those stupid timeouts they used to use instead where i would just go to sleep

 

Well getting spanked really teaches you to do right, not like those other punishments, it may seem barbaric or something to other adults or kids or somethin but I'm going with it's effective

 

yea, what u said, i'm so shocked and disappointed that so many people said NO.

 

I think kids should be Spanked but not to hard. I was Spanked as a kid and I turned out just find but I thimk now-a-days some kids get hit by there mum or dad cus they need to let so seom stress when they should hit there pillow not there kids

 

I think that if you raise your children from birth the right way, then spanking is really not needed. I understand some physical discipline, but very mild; nothing that will actually hurt.

Also, some parents just over discipline their children. They may spank a child, but that does not teach the child anything except that if they do something wrong they will be physically hurt. But they don't know why the thing they did was wrong. I hope this is understandalbe; I feel like I'm kinda jumping from one thing to the other.

Basically, you need to first understand that a child does things that may be wrong without knowing that he or she is doing something wrong. Most of the time the child is simply playing around. So spanking a child without letting the child know what they did wrong and why it was wrong is really not good parenting. You cannot just solely use physical punishment. You have to verbally communicate with the child to a point where both of you understand one another. And, in truth I really do not like any form of physical punishment. I'm just not a violent person and I believe that words will speak much louder.

.... I hope that made sense...

 

Hmm...I don't know. I think that spanking should be done once...and hopefully the kid will get the message so you won't ever have to again.

My father spanked me once when I was 3. I had hit another kid in daycare and he spanked me in front of everyone and said "You don't like that, do you? Don't do it to others." Since then I've been afraid of hurting people.

Now that I think of it that way, I'm not so sure if that helped me so much...I guess I'd rather be unwilling to hurt than willing to, but it's hard to break in a self-defence situation.

 

I think they should tell the child what they have done then spank them if they do it over and over again.

 

Yes. I would take it one step further and slap them if they kept acting up. Taking away there ps2 wont stop them from doing it over again.

 

I do believe Children should be spanked, although the parents should talk to them afterward. I have been brought up this way, and I think I turned out okay. I can't stand when children are in stores, and they cry and their parents don't even restrain them. My Mom is all about disipline, and if I ever have kids, I would defiently spank them. I don't feel sending them to their room is very effective when they have Electronics up there.

 

I don't think they should because when my dad did that to me it hurt and sometimes made me cry. He dosn't do that anymore but still, I don't think people should.:( :)

 

The point of a spanking is to hurt. There is no point in a painless spanking. That would be like grounding someone but still letting them go places and do stuff.

 

When I was little I had the tar beat out of me just for looking at my dad wrong, if I was in the wrong room and he was mad, I got spanked, slapped and punched until I was on the ground....I dont think hitting your kid should be the priority of disipline, but if the kids out of control, by all means, spank them...kids need to know parents are parents, not friends, and should be respected as such

 

My dad did the same thing to me except once I got to the ground i started getting kicked. Now thats going over board but spanking or slapping your kids if they act up is fine. you should talk to them afterwards tho(p.s. my dad was a big man too).

 

Hell yeah, getting spanked for being BAD makes me kind of horny..

XD... but some times it hurts to get hit with a wooden spoon.... (i still have bruises from childhood spankings)

 

Yeah if he wasnt using something to hit me I would be getting kicked while on the ground too, it continued until I got fed up and kicked his teeth in though...after that I never talked to him again

 

well....if ur Chinese (like i am), ur parents DO beat u, lol. and my mom used anything she could find, like a coat hanger (u think it doesn't hurt, but it DOES). but my parents chilled out with it after a few years.

 

ok, did you know that its not illegal to spank kids with anything? You can spank them with a hot flaming iron and you wont get arrested. Its illegal if you spank them and give them damage such as scars, bruises, etc. Bet'cha didn't know that... I love my career ^^

 

Spanking is fine as long as it is within reason, but slapping over the head or back, kicking you while you're on the ground is just wrong. My parents did spank me but never kicked me but they didn't have to do that just to make me cry. All they have to do is yell/scream at me, call me a'little sh**', or call me other names and stuff.
My mom once called me a hateful old hefer and said I made her sick just for not playing the clarinet for her. She even pushed me up against the wall before. My dad was the one who spanked me most of the time, but now he'll sometimes slap me across the back of my head. (Trust me they give me bad headaches!)

 

i agree with you. but who else likes watching b itchy kids get spanked by their parents? i do!
