When I was a child this was standard fair in the house. Sure enough after getting discipline I didn't do it again. I am not talking about beating child either. I got spanked or whopped with a belt a couple of raps on the behind. Then I had to apologize for what I did wrong. I just don't see the wrong in it.

Depends on what type of parent you are.
Studies show that whupping a child does reinforce the idea that physicality is a solution to some problems. As an adult individual we know this not acceptable (despite the way governments interact).
If you as a parent can show a lifestyle that reinforces the idea the punishment was merely corrective and does not resolve the issue then whup your kid. If you can't figure out how to do this, then your child would be better of if you didn't practice corporal punishment.

yeah fair enough you dont want your child to turn into a brat no one would but how can anyone justify belting them? short sharp shocks may work to get a kid out of a tantrum, and i Darsey belting Them one would make them never do something again but out of fear not the willingness to do The right thing
have you ever watched Supernanny she gets some real brats that in most cases there parents slap about does a load of punishment reward things naughty step and stuff and then they are little angels
i know you think im soft but are there not other ways to deal with kids

There is nothing wrong with spanking a child as long as the child knows what they are being punished for and that it is out of love and not anger.

I don't see anything wrong with it. I spank my child. Like you said...it's not like you're beating the child. The child needs to know what's right, and what's wrong. If they get spanked for doing something bad, they more than likely will remember that, and not want it to happen again....so they won't do it again. I don't want my daughter growing up thinking she's gonna be the ruler of the house. I see people who are actually afraid of their kids, because the kids run them!!! This is NOT gonna happen to me! My daughter is NOT gonna grow up and be a menace to society, running around being bad!!! No no no!!! You have to let them know who's boss! If they do something bad....spank their lil behinds!

I agree. It's ok when necessary, but not out of anger. And not with your hand. You don't want your child fearful of you. Use a wooden spoon or something. One of the best child psychologists I've heard is Dr. James Dobson. He has a great book called, Dare To Discipline.

What's wrong with whoopings?! Well a whole lotta nothin!!! I strongly believe in "spare the rod, spoil the child". I see so many brats acting a daymn fool in the stores with their parents, screaming, hollerin', throwin' tantrums, just acting like a total nutt!!!! I'll be daymned if I ever see my child acting a fool like that....you best believe, he knows better (cuz he know's he'll get that azz tapped!)

If you can find another way of disclipline that works with your child, then use it. But, some children are sooo stubborn and spanking is the only thing that seems to work. You should never spank out of anger. If you are angry, find another means of disclipline. Spanking should be used to correct and if used right, I don't think there is anything wrong with it.

my parents were worse than yours..nothing is wrong with beating your child..but i still believe that..they are just kids,pre-teens they make many mistakes..when i was 11 i never wanted to see my mom after what Ive been though i understand that she loved me but i was tried of being beating with leather belts..because during school i had would have problems with teachers and friends and when i get back home i would have to deal with my mom which was stressful..and that almost made me hate her..I don't suggest beating up your child it might cause her/him stress and depression..i was suicidal at 4Th grade when i was nine..because of my life..i really don't suggest you do that..maybe you should just talk to your child..in a soft way and he/she will listen and stop being naughty if you do that if what he/she did was serious then ground him/her.be a good parent..its not good for your child to end up like me..But it is still your child and it is your decision of how to cope with your child but if you want your child to be happy..take this advice..

to those of you who oppose spanking, future columbine shooters. NOTHING wrong with spanking, theres a line between spanking and abuse, get over it. YOU notice how many teens are in troubl with the law, drugs, knocked up and unmarried and disrespectful, geee you think they got any discipline?

NOTHING is wrong with whooping your child. White people who want to be FRIENDS with their children by negotiating and requesting and scolding and giving time-outs and standing in the corner. All that says to the child is, "You can run over me. It's ok." If you whoop the childs behind that says, "I am the parent and I you do what I say. Why? Because I will whoop your behind!"
It's very effective.
