should i spank my 5 years old daughter for back talking to me ?

Answer 1

Each parent has their own way of disciplining their children. If you are comfortable with spanking then it is fine. I don't think spanking is a viable option just for talking back though. You might try talking to your daughter and explaining why talking back isn't acceptible behavior. To make sure she knows she did something wrong, give her a time out, or no tv for a couple hours.

Answer 2

I'm a persepctive teacher, but I do not have any kids; therefore, my answer will vary depending on the circumstance. CHildren will always tend to test the waters. ALl will be defiant at one point or another. Try to talk to her by stating "don't talk back to me". DO it often when she does. If it doesn't work then spank her once in her rear and tell he why you are doing it. Eventually she will learn to respect you and others. Also DON'T ask her why she did something and spank her for responding to you, which was the case with me when I was younger. LOL

Answer 3

I have a son who's 6 and he talks back to me i put him in the time out corner and after his time is up i sit him down and find out why he is being rude and disrespectful to me.I also do the same with my fiance's daughters too as i do my sons. I only would spank if it was something dangerous that they did

Answer 4

Sure, then you'll have a sassy little girl and a violent one! Of course I am being fastidious, you teach her how you expect her to talk to you and this learning is on going as is the teaching and it begins as soon as the child is able to talk. If she says something in appropriate then correct her by modeling the behavior you wish for her to exhibit. A good consequence may be a time out, or removing a favorite object. Talk about the behavior and demand and apology, this lets her know her behavior was not okay.

Answer 5

No!! You tell her it is not acceptable and it is wrong to back talk and she gets time out for x-amount of minutes and if she does it again you will give her more time out and it will get longer each time she does it. Please don't spank her though it just send a message that violence is OK and it's not it's abuse!!

Answer 6

YES! DONT GO OVER BOARD BUT 5 IS PRETTY BIG TO BE BACK TALKING. AT THIS STAGE THEY KNOW SOME DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG AND IF THEY DONT IT'S TIME YOU TAUGHT HER THAT YOU ARE THE PARENT. TAP HER ON HER BOOTIE OR TAP HER ON THE HAND WITH ENOUGH AUTHORITY THAT SHE KNOWS YOUR NOT PLAYIN AND TELL HER YOU DONT TALK TO MOMMY THAT WAY OKAY IF YOU DO IT AGAIN THEN I WILL HAVE TO SPANK YOU AGAIN AND I DON'T WANT TO DO IT BUT I WILL HAVE TO.

Answer 7

No, definitely not. Talk with her and let her know that her behavior is not acceptable. Ask her what she is so upset about. An appropriate punishment of say, 5 min. time out is my recommendation.

Answer 8

When she back talks after you've told her "No" I think you should pop her mouth and let her know she's wrong. If she still continues to back talk you pop her on her butt and place her in time out.

Answer 9

yep. my parents did all da time and now i don't even PRETEND to backtalk to them. but then again- my parents hit me more than they were supposed to and i've grown to pretty much hate them. i kno it's wrong to hit ur kids cuz what my parents did to me was wrong but i wouldn't be as strong of a person if i wasn't used to the abuse. ur child deserves to be punished but don't make it a habit. try takin her toys away or puttin her in timeout sometimes.

Answer 10

Yup. You don't have to smack the crap out of children, but a little fanny warming never hurt em. If you don't stop it now, it will only get worse. Be the parent!!
