Answer 2

What is a mistake?

Spanking can be an effective way of getting a child's attention and letting them know that what they have done is wrong. Make sure you don't spank in anger. Get yourself under control first. Explain why you are spanking and what the appropriate behavior should have been. When the appropriate behavior is displayed be sure to recognize it and tell the child how much you appreciate that they behaved the way they did.

Also make sure that the spanking is done because the child has misbehaved. For example, a very young child knocks over a glass of milk because he is awkward and not aware of the consequences; or he pulls the petals from a flower because he likes the color. The child is just being a child. You can have the child help you clean up the spill and they will learn that actions have certain consequences, but it is not necessary to spank.
The point is, make sure that the behavior is an act of disobedience, not just a child being a child.

With older children it is helpful to let natural consequences take the place of a spanking. For example, you ask your child to put away some dishes. They don't do it. Later they ask you to take them to a friend's house. But you can't, you have to put away some dishes. Hopefully, next time you ask they'll do it. They ask to go to a party on Saturday. You tell them they can go if they have finished their homework or some household chore.
When Saturday comes they have not completed the task. No party. Be creative.

A spanking when deserved is ok. Just don't do it out of plain anger or rage. A good spank and make sure after you do it you explain the reason why you did it. Sometimes the child doesn't really realize what they did wrong verbalize exactly what the wrong doing was and that the spank will be the consecuence next time.

Answer 4

I was spanked lots of time when i was a kid. I believe it helped me a lot. I'd grown up to be more mature and good. It scared me of course.. I'll think twice b4 i do anything that is wrong or bad. Now, I still think twice b4 i do something bad or wrong. But it is not the spanking i'm afraid.. It becomes natural.. A spank after u did something wrong is ok.. not to the extent of spanking for no reasons or minor prob.. My mum always explain why she spanked me.. I know it was me who made mistakes and do wrong.. so I gladly accept the punishments..

Now, when i wish my mum wld still be as strict.. I'm grown up now. She said I dun need spanking anymore. Cos I'll be responsible for myself now. I always believe, how a kid behaves comes form how he/she got his disciplne.. Good parents wld bring out good children..

Take care and enjoy the fun & love of family!

Answer 5

What is right for your kids is what works. Some kids can be punished in other ways and learn....others need futher punishment in order to "get the point".
Spanking, not beating your children is fine. Don't let others opinions interfere!
If a parent loves a child, they will correct them.

Answer 6

Spanking is ok, beating them is not. My opinion is that the world is f*cked up today because people don't punish their kids like they should. So the kids do whatever the f*ck they want knowing they don't have consequences. If more people spanked their kids, the kids will behave 100x better!! And for all you people who are like "hitting isn't the answer. You're only teaching violence. Blah, blah, blah!!" Whatever! I was spanked and I'm a successful businesswoman and mother who respects her parents cuz they set my *ss straight.

Answer 7

Spare the rod, spoil the child.
The rod of correction will drive the foolishness out of a child.

You know, there is a difference between abuse and correction with affection. A child needs to be taught the difference between right and wrong, and, sometimes the soft portion of the behind is the best place; because, that is where their brain is, at times. Good Luck!

Answer 8

Nah, just let them go, so they can start cussing out Adults, hitting anyone they want to, including Mom, Stealing what they can't beat out of Mom. Let them know it's ok, to go out and kill people, because they are the wrong color, they talk funny, or they have a quarter they want. And if they are really pissed off, take a knife or gun to Mom and Dad. So at some point and time, they will wind up in a coffin because someone is faster to kill.
Beat their butts, smack their hands, take away what is the most important TOY for a Month or year. Get the kids back on track of what's right, and what's wrong. The insanity has been going on to long.

Answer 9

I was spank when was a child and I'm a respecting adult now if you don't discipline your kids the old fashion way they will run over you and grow up to be misbehaving criminals in other cases that's not always true but you don't have to beat them into oblivion

Answer 10

it really depends on the child, not all are alike, it may work for some and not for others, and you need to think about the situation at hand, was this child doing something that u didnt approve of or was he doing something to hurt him self or someone else? i only spank my children when somebody could get hurt. but never for mistakes because we all make them and we all need to learn, would you want to be hit for making a mistake? we are human, thats what we do!

Answer 11

yeah, defo is. otherwise you will get little horible kids that dont respond. i know that if i was told no i wouldnt care. if i was threatened witha spanking i would be better behaved because of it.

definately a good idea, thats why people have done it for years

thinking about it tho - if its an honest mistake/accident then no. but if they have been knowingly naughty then yes. but if they dropped a glass of water or something by accident then no, that doesnt warrant a spanking
