do u think it is ok for parents to beat their children to discipline them?

Question

my parents beat with hangers or slaps.

Answer 1

Beatings! Lot's & lot's of Beathings!!!!
Just kidin'! There are other ways to diciplin them but if all else fails a swat on the booty is neccissary. Once they're old enough to want to go outside & play more then restrictions are best. (Friends, phone, shopping)

Answer 2

Did you think that was okay when they were doing that to you? Discipline entails many different aspects and results. Try to be more passive aggressive in your approach. I do not advocate "time out" in their room. Think about it, when you were a kid how horrible was it to be in room? Especially when you have toys and everything else at your disposal. Often I could care less and forgot that I was being punished because I was too busy dragging all my toys out and playing with them. Spanking, I only resorted to that form of punishment on two incidences with my children. And that was a direct result of a behavior that would have endangered their lives i.e. crossing the street without permission, wandering off farther than they knew the boundaries were. Other than that, the best punishment I found was to have them do an extra chore they absolutely hated, or deduct a portion of their allowance that was comparable to the offense. There were times they would be negative into the next week, but it worked out great. The most important thing is CONSISTENCY! You must follow through with the punishment even if it means your going nuts because their whining they can't go out and play, or the T.V. is off, etc. At the end of the night, we would have a chat about the incident and ask them what would have been the better choice they could have made BEFORE they got into trouble, and they didn't argue the point. They knew.

Answer 3

Beating and disciplining are different, a hanger isn't a customary discipline tool. I don't really think it's a good idea. I have some asian friends and their mothers do slap when their children get out of hand, but I'm against that. My mother has slapped me a few times but that was when she lost control. I think it's ok to spank a child, but once a child reaches a certain age its pointless, it's just a bad way to let out rage.

Answer 4

Children sometimes need a sharp short shock in order for them to realise something is wrong in what they are doing. A firm slap on the back of the leg, or a slapped back of the hand, never did me any harm and I don't believe it was abuse. It was to make me understand, that after being told 5 times "don't do that" that they really meant "DO NOT DO IT" Regarding "disciplining" women. Are you some sort of backward freak? How dare you say that. Women are grown adults in their own right and are FREE to make their own decisions and take their own actions in life. If any man wants to try beat me into submission or to teach me a lesson, I would put a knife straight through his heart, in his sleep.

Answer 5

Absolutely not! In fact, in most states that would be considered abuse. Physical discipline, such as a spank on the butt is one thing, but picking up a "weapon" to hit your child is unacceptable.
How old are you and is this abuse still going on??? You need to tell someone, a teacher, coach, trusted family friend, if this abuse is still going on. Even if you are a minor (under 18) that still does not give your parents the right to hurt you physically, no matter what you may have done. Please, I urge you, if you think you are being abused, tell someone. Get help. There are social service programs in every state that are there to protect children from abusive parents. They can help you.

Answer 6

I am okay with Spankings, Beatings are cruel. Remember Kids do not come with an owners manual. Parents try to do their best. Maybe they were beaten when growing up, they acquire that behavior. They though that is how it was done. You have a chance to change things for your kids. Brake the Chain and forgive your parents. I am pretty sure they regret been so ignorant. Good Luck and Be Happy!!

Answer 7

Parents should not beat mecilessly with hangars or sticks but surely they can swat or slap to make the point and instill discipline in the younger ones.

Answer 8

Beating is NEVER ok - an occasional slap on the hands or spanking is MUCH different than beating your child. There is a fine line and it should NEVER be crossed. Tell a trusted adult as soon as you can.

Answer 9

No I do not think that its ok to beat them..There are tons more ways on how to discipline kids with out hitting them..That is just a wrong thing to do plus then you are showing them that its all right to hit people..

Answer 10

That's physical abouse and you should tell someone. It's not ok for your parents do do that.

I don't think any parent needs to hit their child. It only teaches that when you are frustrated, violence is ok.
