ReplyDeleteYEP
ReplyDeleteIts amazing how many neanderthals on the shore still believe in this archaic, ineffective, behavior control technique, that has been scientifically proved to be less effective than many other, non-corporal forms punishment. When parents don't get educated, they are doomed to make the same mistakes their parent's made. The rise of the disrespectful little sh*ts is the result of single parent homes, and the breakdown of family values, often where the children are stilled spanked.
ReplyDeleteThere is not a child that has ever been born that doesn't need a spanking once in a while. And it is for their own good. To teach them right from wrong. If a child is never spanked or disciplined they will run out in the road in front of a car. And the mother says " now Honey stop don't do that" and the child doesn't listen because they have been raised to do whatever they want instead of what is right. But the disciplined child will be doing the same thing. And when the mother says stop. they will stop before getting in the street because they know if they don't they will get a spanking. That's just how it works folks. I know because i raised three kids and now have seven grand kids. And yes they all survived because I was a disciplinarian.
ReplyDeleteNO...spankings teach children the answer to the problem must be physical. You have a problem you slap, punch, bite...whatever. What could be a teaching moment turns into a moment where a child learns physical aggression. It has been studied and proven.
ReplyDeleteAND for all of you out there that think you are a good person (and maybe that is true) think of how much further you could have come in life if someone praised you when you did something right instead of hitting you when you did something that someone else was judging you lacking.

ReplyDeleteAll that spanking taught their child was to not to run out in the road with their parent standing where they could see them. Now, if a car actually hits them, then the "hot stove rule" would ensure they never ran out in front of a car again. You simply rationalize your own ineffective behavior control punishments over your children. Ask yourself, "why did my children lie to me?" It was to avoid corporal punishments. Children are not stupid, and that's how you treat them when you spank, instead of TEACH. Spanking is a poor substitute for teaching.

ReplyDeleteThank you! At least there is one other person on the shore that gets it. Apparently you were taught effective parenting techniques that did not include cruel and abusive corporal punishment. I never wanted to teach my children to fear me. Now THAT would be a stupid thing to do!
No to spankings...much better ways to discipline and teach responsibility.
ReplyDeleteMy son is three and I do not spank him. I explain to him why what he does is wrong and there are real world reasons why we do or don't do things... and not just because he'll get beaten for something. He asks "May I" and "Please" and "Thank You".. he share and is empathetic and generous. When he see something that is wrong or bad he points it out as such.
ReplyDeleteDoes he still do noodly headed little boy stuff? Of course... he's a three year old boy... but he listens not because he fears I'll beat him, but respects that we love him and are helping him.
11:42 a 3 year old can not comprehend such things. I guarantee you that your 3 year old will at some point disregard all that you have so lovingly told him and so the opposite. Then what?
ReplyDeleteAll of you morons that are against spanking should move to Montgomery county where the rest of the f------ morons live Be sure not to spank all of the illegal sob' s that live there
ReplyDeleteYou bunch of liberal snow flakes spanking in the correct way is neither cruel or abusive. Nobody on here said you should beat your child. But you can discipline with corporal punishment and still not be abusive. If a small child disobeys and you give them a solid pat on the behind and explain to them what they did was wrong. This is not beating them to death. It is called discipline. And if you know what the bible says it says "Spare the rod and spoil the child". That is why we have so many idiot snow flakes coming out of school today. Too many spoiled brats. They all think they are entitled because of parents not teaching them to be responsible for their actions. That is the problem the kids do not respect or listen to their parents. And then as adults the still do not listen or respect the law or anything else.
