PARENTS ONLY! why do parents think that spanking their kids help?

Question

spanking your kids or smacking them in the mouth doesn't help anything it just makes them think of how stupid you were to spank them. and then it makes them hate the person who spanked them and they will continue to do what they got spanked for to vex you. so if you spank your kids STOP!

Answer 1

People spank their kids because their parents spanked them. It's passed down from generation to generation. Unless they are willing to break the cycle, they are going to spank their own kids.

Answer 2

One thing is spanking the kids and other is abuse them. Some people think to spank a kid will help in their discipline.

I think you can discipline your kids without spanking them. Depends how good you are to show them who has the authority in the house. We are the adults here, we need to make them Understand we are in charge.

Now some people go to the opposite side. They don't discipline their kids at all. That is wrong too. Many kids are growing with out any manners, any bars, they think they can do what ever they want.

I see kids every where screaming to their parents, arguing with their parents like adults, I see some 2, 3 and 4 year old kids hitting their mothers. That is Wrong too!!!

Parents need to discipline their kids and don't let them do what ever they want... These kids are going to school and they don't respect their teachers, they hit other kids.

People say, "Oh is Only a child"... Well that Child will grow, and if this child doesn't have any bars as a kid in the future will not have any bars either.

I think Parents are getting very lazy to spend time to discipline and bring love and support to their kids.

If they can't face this responsibility... There are many ways to prevent pregnancy. Be a responsible parent and if you will not be responsible then don't get kids.

Answer 3

I agree with you for the most part. I only spank my child when whatever she is in trouble for could hurt her more than a spanking, such as when she walked into the road without watching where she was going. I spanked her little butt right after I snatched her from the road. There is NO REASON in my mind to EVER smack a child in the mouth. If my daughter doesn't clean her room, feed her dog, do her homework, then that is her problem. She has to live with the choices that she makes. ex: if she doesn't do her homework, then she gets a bad grade and then she doesn't get paid for good grades.

Answer 4

You don't know what your talkin about. I spank my 2 year old son and he is very obedient. I have a friend that doesn't spank their kid and is very rude to his parents and will bite anyone. I also have an uncle that doesn't spank his 3 kids and they are the the worst nosy *** kids i have met. I believe spanking a kid shows that the parent is the one in charge. If you don't give strong discipline they will walk all over you. Then you'll be calling NANNY 911. You must have been traumatized when you were getting spanked to still hate whoever did it. I was spanked several times and still got love for my parents.

Answer 5

Ok, Hott Linn! Who do you "hate" and who smacked you in the mouth? You come across as angry! If it wasn't you, is it someone you know? Smacking never solves anyhing, you're right it only makes the person being smacked more hurtful and spiteful!{ an easy way to learn to hate} Whoever it is needs "help"! {along with the person smacking!} Even when somebody isn't controlable it doesn't mean that someone can smack you around and "spank" you!They should see a councelor or child proctective services to help!

Answer 6

Honey, spare the rob, spoil the kids. I don' t believe in popping them in the mouth but a spanking helps sometimes, I will talk to my kids and tell them to behave or warn them or punish them in a different way first but it that don't help, they WILL get a spanking! Kids do not end up hating their parents for disciplining them, they love and respect them for teaching them right from wrong. you can spank your child in a correct way. I wonder if you are a parent. If you are or not , don't tell someone Else how to raise their kids.

Answer 7

I spanked my kids all the time and they are just fine and love me very much. Thats why our kids now days dont listen to a damm thing we say . theres nothing wrong with a little spanking now and then. I dont believe in smacking a kid in the mouth thats pretty harsh. Didnt your parents spank you?and if they did do you hate them for it?

Answer 8

First, you are not asking a question, you are making a declaration. Second, there is a big difference between loving discipline and abuse. I spank all three of my children, in fact one one them went to bed just last night with a warm bottom. They do not hate me and I can assure you it DOES correct the problem. I would never hit my children anywhere except across the bottom. I do not "smack them in the mouth", I don't even hit their hands.

Answer 9

I completely agree with you!! There are many child psychologists that say that "spanking" actually is harmful to a child. You tell the child to be good, yet you do to them an act that is unacceptable if they do it. Also, if you hit your child you will only cause him to fear you, not respect you. That is why hitting your child works, though incorrectly, because your child fears you. The child actually learns nothing of why his behavior was wrong, just that he/she must fear you and therefore be good. I am not a parent but i help to raise my nephew, and i have NEVER hit him and he listens to me more than his parents who do hit him.I was also hit when i was a child, my mother used a leather belt, my father used his palm. However, it wasn't until i was older and they started taking things away instead of hitting me that i would actually obey. Because the pain from getting hit fades, but not being allowed to use the phone or computer for a couple of days is far more worse. When priveleges are taken away or time out is used a child learns that only good behaviour will get him what he wants. And too many parents hit their kids because it is so much easier than taking things away or being consistent with time outs.

Answer 10

I wish my mother would have spanked me but instead she just dropped me on my head repeatedly! And then called me "special"
I reward my kids for good behavior and punish them for bad behavior such as taking away a favorite video game or toy. Because of this they always obey me! I never once spanked my kids. Parents who do are just training their kids how to fight!
