should we spank our kids when they do something wrong?

Question

i think that if they don't learn when they are younger(7 years and up) they get more bolder and feel they can get away with anything, knowing that they will be only repremanded and sent to their room, wheres there is a tv, computer etc.(o pity me they say) but when they get older and get in trouble with the law the police don't hesitate about beating the crap out of them and putting them in handcuffs, in which they end up in prison.at this stage the parent is called a bad parent because they did'nt raise there child with respect to others, where a little caning would have guided them in the right direction. the majority of kids are great but there is a handfull that needs a helping hand (cane) to guide them in the right direction.

Answer 1

hell yea,beat that ars

Answer 2

It goes without saying that it depends on (a) the child in question, and (b) the offence presumed. Only the parents can truly decide what kind of punishment is appropriate. I do not agree that spanking should never be allowed. When done properly, it is not abuse, but an effective deterent. Some children probably need it, while others may actually learn the wrong lesson. (They may fear grounding more than corporal punishment, so they can get away with "only" a spanking.)

Your question also asks if spanking them now prevent bad behaviour (i.e. criminal conduct) in the future. Unfortunately, what constitues a child's nature isn't totally in a parent's control. However, a child can learn to have some level of respect for the laws of society, and if spanking does that, I agree that it beats the alternative. But again, it depends on the child.

Hope that helps.

I believe there is a time and a place for spanking. I think it can be an effective disciplinary tool in EXTREME situations. And the place is definately at home, no where else but. I also believe that spanking should be something that's thought through, not done in anger. There's nothing like the feeling of knowing you're going to get spanked. It scares the crap out of kids, and they'll learn to respect it more and know that you mean business if it's a once in a while thing that's not done in the heat of the moment.

Answer 4

Sometimes kids get a little disrespectful and that might be from not discipline their child I'm not a big fan in spanking but sometimes it's the only way.That's probably what's wrong with kids today not being discipline enough they grow up to beat on parents and breaking the law and stuff like that. I'm 26 now and I know IHad a spank in here and there and turn out great sometime it's a good thing.

Answer 5

I am all for spanking your children. I do not agree with taking it too far though. I was raised with being spanked and even though I did not need it much, it did teach me a lesson. Most children do not learn from just standing in the corner, or sitting on a naughty step or going to their room where as you said they have all the "goodies". Being grounded does help, but sometimes there just needs to be a spanking. There is absolutely nothing wrong with spanking your child on the butt and when I see the kids in the store who are yelling and screaming at their parents and all the parents are doing is saying quiet down honey, its ok honey, Dont act like that in the store, people are looking I want to go over there and spank them and give them something to scream about. Wow-just heard my mom come out of me there!! Scary! Hehe. Can't wait to read what others have to say to this question!

Criminals Started getting younger since they found out that a parent or a teacher could go to jail for smacking them.If you spank them while they're young,you wont have to punch them when they are older.
