Unless the kid is mentally instable. One would not have to spank often.

Start early and in a short time they will understand how poo works.

I will not be putting up with any screaming tantrums. Unacceptable behavior.

Didnt think so.

Lol at using these horrendously flawed research.

Just lol @ having kids.

i'm not opposed to spanking or slapping, but closed fist and whipping w/ belts and chit is wrong imo. there are a lot of different ways to discipline a child that are way more effective than beating the chit out of them.

Lol at using your hand on a 12 year old

Hell lol at using your hand on a 8 year old.

I would seriously laugh if my parents tried to spank me with their hand.

I'll beat the fuk outta my kids










Jk, hopefully not

My mom used to spank me with a wooden spoon and it hurt like hell. Then I started to build up the strength to hold in the pain, and I would react like one of these:















Would rustle the chit out of her.

No.

Will I? I did! Until they were old enough to reason and understand time outs and chit like that - around age 5 or so. They're 11 and 8 now and I haven't even needed to raise my voice to them in two years. They actually listen and do what they're told now.

Cliffs: spank when they're young because they don't understand reason yet. Then once time-out and taking things away become effective, you don't need to spank anymore. Then after they know their boundaries of what they can and can't do, life is easy. Be consistent with your rules.

I was spanked as a child. My mother was spank (actually beaten on several occasions), as was pretty much every generation before her. I was probably the only one not to be hit with a closed fist or hit in the face. I have turned out fine. I've never been arrested or done anything that would warrant an arrest. My mother was the same way. I spank my children, who are nine and seven. I don't do it for every little infraction. It's the last straw after other parameters have broken down: warning, repeat warning, if severe enough infraction, spanking. Usually, it's a grounding from some electronic or withdrawing of some sort of treat. I would never hit my children in the face, nor with a closed fist. It's always been on the butt. I have popped their legs before, too, but never to the point where it's bruised. If I can cite five generations of family members having corporal punishment and not being arrested or having sociopath tendencies, I can refute 50 years of "scientific" studies indicating it's harmful to spank. My citation covers different eras, socioeconomic statuses, sexes, geographical locations, and education levels.


I think the key to corporal punishment is love. If you love your children, and show them that you do and that you want what's best for them, corporal punishment works. If you snatch them up, beat the hell out of them, ignore them, spend no time with them, never explain why you are getting on to them, never reward them for doing well (school/sports etc), and generally mistreat them, corporal punishment won't work because they won't care about the rules.

He who spares the rod, spoils the child

Literally burst out laughing at work, thanks. Last time my mom spanked me I think I did all 3 of those. Then she would just wait for my dad to get home from business trips to whoop us. Used belts, paddles etc. we turned out fine. Fuking world is going soft, need to watch the cow being attacked/eaten by the bear every now and then to remind us of what we really are...

First time I ever spanked my son it was with an open hand. Then I read this article about how children view you hitting with your hand vs. an object. The next time I went to spank him, as soon as I said it and raised my hand I saw how scared he was and I told myself I never wanted him to fear me raising my hand at him. Never spanked him with my hand since. He straigtens his behavior now if I threaten to take my belt off

I think physical spankings deserve a a place on any disciplinary list. For me it goes as follows,
-verbally tell my daughter to stop
-tell her again in a much angrier tone( most of the time she Chris and stops because her feelings are hurt. I then explained why I had to do what I did and make her understand why her actions caused my response)
-verbally threaten physical punishment
-administer physical punishment
-have a talk after the crying about why she was punished and to get her to understand why her actions caused all of this.

Most times I find that she breaks down and cries after understanding that she's upset me and momma. It's normally enough to get her to stop before things get out of hand.

Nah, I wouldn't. They are children. You should be able to talk to and influence them through nonviolent actions. No need to escalate to physical correction.

Though I got my @ss beat my everyone in my family when I was a kid, I couldn't do it to my own child.

This is what happens when you don't give a kid a good smack. This is the result of just simply saying "no! dont do that, that's bad" it doesn't work

You're assuming they understand reasoning. I assure you they don't until a certain age. It can be necessary to spank so they get the message, especially if it is a safety thing - i.e. your 2 year old keeps ignoring you when you tell them not to run into the street or stick their hand into a pot of boiling water. Or if they do something majorly wrong.

Once they are at the age of reasoning, you can put them in a timeout. Once that starts working, you can stop spanking. Once that stops working, you start taking privileges away - i.e. toys, TV, or whatever it may be that they want. Or "ground them" whatever.... After a while you can just tell them things and explain why they should or should not do something and by then, they should respect you and do what you say. That's the point where I've gotten to with my kids. It doesn't start out that way, it takes years.

Some never get there though because the parents were / are inconsistent somewhere along the line and the kids don't respect their parents.

Although I'm not against it per se, I don't think I'd actually pull the trigger on it simply because it's not exactly my style. I'm more of a mental, analytical, manipulative if you will type that would be certain I'd be able to extract the type of behavior from my kids that is prudent. That all being said lol no kids for me crew lulz I mean who are we kidding here.

Everyone's got their opinions. My dad spanked me extremely calmly and rationally, and always explained why it was happening, and it didn't seem to harm me, but i was a hell of a handful when I was younger. I grew up to be a respectful, upstanding citizen. I have been well liked all my life, have a really successful engineering career, and have a great relationship with my girlfriend. I'm kind of bias to it, unfortunately. But, I am also really starting to lean against it with all of the new data coming out, and am willing to admit that I may be an anomaly.

I get spanked by belts, wooden spoon and cords when I was a kid until I was about 13. This mindset is prevalent among older generation parents. I can't speak the older generatiom Western parents but the methods are worse for the eastern parents.

There are benefits in this. They will behave with respect and won't make the same mistake again. They are also more likely to become real men and not a typical rebellious teenager.

I was only yelled at as a kid a few times. It was phucking terrifying. So no, would never hit or even scream at a child. That said, lol at wanting to have kids in 2000 16

That says two hundred thousand and sixteen doby..

Will RKO kids crew

Are you gonna spank your daughter? brb will be in BDSM porn the day she turns 18.

Yeah I will spank my children, never hard enough to really hurt them but enough to let them know some things cause bad things to happen

Well it can completely backfire. I would get a light smack or maybe a pressure point grab on the shoulder if I did something ridiculous. Nothing that is going inflict damage. I don't have kids but I don't think I could seriously hit them.

Psycho strict parents or neglectful parents create a lot rebellious teenagers and sloots. There is a middle between the two extremes.

No. Spanking or hitting is something I find unnecessary. As long as a child is properly raised their WHOLE life, you should be able to avoid it.

When they get old though, I encourage them to try it out.

Yes. And as my father would do, snap a belt for intimidation. My mom used to give me the old bar of soap in the mouth when I said said bad words or ill intent words. I can count on my fingers how many times I have swore in front of my parents. And I'm 25.

There needs to be some form of punishment that involves fearful consequence. Otherwise, the action will out-worth the punishment.

I will never do anything out of line, and will of course explain what they did wrong. My dad used mostly intimidation, and I will probably side more with that. You have to assert rules/boundries/limitations etc.

Always lol at the parents that send their kid to their room or take away their phone or computer. That ain't gonna do chit captain

Used to cop beatings when i was younger, I think the last time i got beat was when I was 12. I was a terrible kid
Both my brother and sister got it too. My brother was best behaved with my sister being the youngest and also the worst behaved and probably copped more beatings then me and my bro combined.

Mum used to try smack us but we would just laugh at her when she broke the wooden spoon on us, and then promptly go put on 2 pairs of pants in anticipation for the beating that's going to come when dad comes home LOL

Was always a smack with hand, next level was the belt. Only once have i got hit (whipped) with an electrical cable across the ass.

I have 2 kids now, and its hard. Every kid is different. They are 5 and 7 and are starting to understand alot more where i can just threaten of an impending smack and that is enough for them to listen etc . I haven't smacked them in a while because they are listening more. This is a good thing IMO
