I got my ass paddled when I was a kid and my kids will get spankings too if they are not doing what they're supposed to. That said, it would only be either my hand or a paddle. And it would only be to the kid(s) that spakings were effective on. Some kids don't respond to corporal punishment, but respond to groundings, taking away privledges, etc. and some kids are vice versa. I'm pro-corporal punishment but I also know that children are always a case by case basis.
Spankings.. pfft.. Damn wusses the lot of you! Rubber hose works best! Then lock them in a dark cupboard until they learn to behave. And if that doesn't work, baths filled with iced water and mild electrical shots can work wonders. Or alternatively, shave their heads and make them stand on hot coals with a couple of bricks on their heads.
I ant no psychic but i can see spankins in the future for you'r kids... lol.!!! The thang is... i was never spanked (by my parents) or even yelled at... but i perty much minded what they said an wasnt even sassy to 'em... i thank i aquired respect for them from how they treeted me... but the closest i com to curently havin hate for sombody is 1 of my 7th grade teechers (from about 45 year ago) who hit me wit a 1" thick bord he called a paddle... an the teecher i have the mos respect for is my 7th grade science teecher who never paddled any body but we all minded what he said perty good... but what he woud do if you crossed the line was... look you in the eye (even from across the room)... an not say a word but hold up 2 fangers an then make a couple of "zero" signs wit that sam hand... an that ment write 200 sentences for not mindin... an the thang is... he woud never tell us what to write... but whatever we rote was fine... i thank i received that punishment only 1 time... but from the 3th grade on... his science class was the only calss i ever enjoyed at school... an i also made A's an B's in that class... but i guess botom line... i thank if a parent resorts to spankin its cause they dont have the know-how or willin to make the time to learn beter methods.!!!
So it would seem. And it shows! Hmmm... Yeah. I can see how you managed to do that.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Quick question. This teacher of yours, is he still teaching? /Seriously considers homeschooling for kids now.
So you would start with hitting and if that didn't work, you would move on to groundings? Why not do it the other way around?
You can't start with the hitting anyway. I wouldn't start spanking a child until they were old enough to know what I was spanking them for. Until then, it would probably be a stern 'NO!' or just prevent them from doing what they aren't supposed to until they do get old enough. Maybe by then they will have shown me whether they are the type to need a spanking or grounding/privledge withheld. I'd proabably start with a light slap on the back of their hand. It doesn't have to hurt to make them realize they did something wrong.
You forgot the bamboo sticks shoved under their fingernails and hot pokers to the eyes, because after all it is just all fun and games till somebody loses an eye! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Depends on the child! For some children it does good, great even, for some its over kill, harmful. All children are not alike and attempts to lump them together and pretend a universal strategy can be made to raising all children is not only ignorant but even quackery. You should raise a child and experiment to determine what teaches it, start with non-corporal and end (if worse comes to worse) with military school, the goal of creating a functional adult that can achieve what ever goal it wants to get happiness in life should never be compromised simply because you don't want to do tough love: if non-corporal is not working its time to take off the belt, if that fails ship em to a hel/ military school, no questioning it, do what best for them no matter how much it hurts you.
perants dont spank the child because the child deserves it they spank them because they have lots control over the situation. spanking a child does not work, what if your child has medical conditions that makes them misbehave? some children cannot help what they do, in that case they should not be spanked but spoken to, i ground my youngest or i take away somthing important to him i.e his computer or tv i do not spank him
No. They spank the child because the child does not want pain inflicted on them. You'd be surprised at what (normal, sane) people won't do if they know the result will be pain. There are several things I knew better than to do out of fear of getting a spanking. Spankings worked for me, and all of my cousins, mother, father, aunts and uncles. We turned out just fine thank you very fucking much. Stop being such a damn liberal.
Your a fool. You don't know the full range of children, I've seen children where grounding and taking stuff away is useless: for some children spanking is all that works, for some not even that. True, for many children you can get by with far less, but to saying you won't do something for a child out of personal ethics is just plain foolish and selfish.
No I see it as a violation, not a legitimate punishment. I was never spanked, but I do remember my step father threatening to 'beat some respect into my head'...and every time I remember that I just morph into an angry rabid wolverine inside. I don't have the right to take my hand to his body in a violent way, why should he have the right to do it to me? Whereas I have no problem with taking away privileges and so forth. That is a system of punishment and not violating them by putting your hands on them in a violent way.
but...but...you're always talking about physically doing harm to others. <GASP!> You're all bluster aren't you!? Deep down you're a cream puff aren't ya. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
