who thinks that children need to get spanked?

Question

do you agree? why or why not?

Answer 1

Children need to be spanked to get a point across. You are a parent NOT THEIR FRIEND!!!***** Lily is a freak!!!!!!!!***** Don't sit here and give your spill of SSHHIITT unless you have a completely snow white life! scroll down and read proverbs31 mom's answers. Children have no fear of nothing or no one they have no respect for anything or other people, esp for the elderly!!! You need to handle your children as needed, now there is a difference between beating the crap out of them and spanking them to where they will associate the memory of "that sting" on their bottom when they do something wrong. ****PARENTS DISCIPLINE YOUR CHILDREN...DON'T WAIT FOR A JUDGE TO DO IT BY LOCKING YOUR BABIES UP!!!****

Answer 2

I'm sorry but "timeouts" suck. They do nothing for the stubborn children of today. Kids today are getting progressively worse behaved. Since the "timeout" came into use kids have gotten more out of control. I think a little fear is very healthy. It worked for me. I'm normal. I have good morals. I'm honest. I believe in spankings. The "fear" is another form of "consequences", Now theres a word young people today aren't too familiar with. Do you know in Mississippi they have corporal punishment in the school system. Kids get a paddling from the teacher if they don't turn homework in excess. Apparently some people still believe in a spanking. I do not beat my children. I have control. You have to be able to control yourself. My kids are spoiled but I give it my best. Grounding and spanking. But everyone has there choice. That is what this country is all about.

Answer 3

Ouch. There's a loaded question if I ever heard one. "Need to get spanked" or "should be spanked"? I don't think that children NEED to get spanked in order to grow up as responsible adults. I think that in certain circumstances spanking is appropriate if the child knows the differnce between right and wrong, and is told the reason for being spanked and the behaviour that's expected of them in the future. ie, an 8 year-old is caught playing with matches. In this instance, a spanking can reinforce the gravity of the situation and how important it is for the child to learn a lesson. I don't think that a child should be spanked because the parent is tired or angry. I don't think that a child should be spanked because the parent needs to take his/her anger out on someone. I feel that if it's using sparingly and appropriately, spanking is sometimes appropriate.

Answer 4

I believe in strict discipline. There are certain things which you can't compromise. I believe that you need to shape a child's character when they are still small. There are certain rules to spanking. It should not leave a mark on the body and you should counsel the child afterwards, explaining to him why you spanked him in the first place. However, I would restrict spanking up to when the child turns 10. After that, you should move from corporal punishments to counselling. Spanking should be the last resort.

Answer 5

I think children do need to get spanked. It's not getting 'the belt' or anything where there is physical scars from spanking. It's showing you are the authority. I DO believe however that spanking shouldn't go past the age of about 5 or 6. After that you should be able to talk to your child or take away priveledges.

Answer 6

If children don't have anything to "fear" then they will just keep acting up. If you put that "fear" into them then they will think twice before they do something wrong. Look how many children in the 70's and 80's went to school and some got paddled. I know I didn't act up in school because I know if I did it was to the Principal's office for a paddling. Spanking is needed.

Answer 7

I think kids should get spanked when the situation calls for it. Too many kids, today disrespect their parents. In case you haven't noticed, when our children misbehave in public, in school in front of company etc, when OFFENDED individuals see this happening it isn't the kids they are looking at but the parents.
"Time-Out" may work for some parents. "Talking it out" may work for some but it don't work in my house.
I tell them like I told my brothers when I was raising them, "You can call the cops or cps if you want to but you need to remember that it's going to take them about an hour to get her. That's an hour that I have to spank your a**. There are so many parents out there that are so afraid of their children. We've all seen the talk shows where they get sent off to boot camp. I say, "Forget that, save a buck and tear their a**es up. Remind them who the parent is.

Answer 8

Oh, this is an EASY question.

GOD thinks children need to get spanked (so, as a believer, I do too).


Proverbs 13:24 - New King James Version (NKJV)

He who spares his rod hates his son,
But he who loves him disciplines him promptly.


Proverbs 15:10 - New King James Version (NKJV)

Harsh discipline is for him who forsakes the way,
And he who hates correction will die.


Proverbs 19:18 - The Message (MSG)

Discipline your children while you still have the chance;
indulging them destroys them.


Proverbs 22:15 - New King James Version (NKJV)

Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child;
The rod of correction will drive it far from him.


Proverbs 23:13-14 - The Message (MSG)

Don't be afraid to correct your young ones;
a spanking won't kill them.
A good spanking, in fact, might save them
from something worse than death.


Proverbs 29:15, 17 - New King James Version (NKJV)

The rod and rebuke give wisdom,
But a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.


Proverbs 22:6 - New King James Version (NKJV)

Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it.

Answer 9

I think that if a child miss behaves they should be spanked. There is a big diff. between spanking and beating ur child. The world sees any spanking as child abuse. the bible says that the man who spares the rod on his child does not love his child. That's whats wrong with our generation. Its a major lack of discipline.

Answer 10

I do believe children need to be spanked when they get out of hand. I only have one child, but he has had his share of spankings. My child is very well behaved, as I have been told by almost everyone I know, but even he gets out of hand every now and then. I try not to spank my child because it hurts me more, but I can only give him so many talks and chances before he needs to know that I mean business. If you don't teach them when they are young, someone will, whether it be someone they mouthed off to or the law. Spare the rod, spoil the child!
