b/c there's too many rights activist people around today and they want into everyon'e business where they don't belong just to cause trouble that's not there. how else are you supposed to dicipline your kids?? they'd be wild otherwise just like all the other kids out there now days whose parents are too scared of their kids when it should be the other way around.

I personally do hit my son. I would never in my wildest dreams beat him but if he is acting up and he just won't stop I will crack his little butt. He's almost 3 right now and he's going through the terrible two's right now and he likes to try me to a point if I let him. However if I tell him if he doesn't stop he's going to get a spanking usually he stops right away. I just don't believe in letting my son act like one of these hellin's in the store I see sometimes "Mommy give me I want it now, You better give it to me NOW!!!!" I sure as hell don't think so. When I was a child if I had ever done that if my mother didn't hit me right then and there I would have gotten my butt kicked at home there wasn't such thing as Super Nanny or Nanny 911 back then.
But on that note I also don't believe in hitting my child with anything other than my hand I will never hit him with an object if my hand can't do the job then I will find some other way to punish him.

Well, first you have to decide if IS effective. Studies show that punishment, of any kind, does not do anything long term for the child when it comes to shaping him/her into a good, responsible adult. However, positive reinforcement does.
I was not spanked as a child. . . I was punished, but not hit. There are many ways to raise a child, one way is to hit them when they've done something wrong. I am a prime example of not having to hit your kids when they do something wrong. And in my view, if there's a way to do it without violence (good or bad) then why not choose the one that isn't hitting?
It boils down to what are you teaching your child when you hit/spank your child when he/she does something wrong? It would tell me that when someone else does something wrong, I hit them. Spanking is hitting, and hitting is violence.
My honest opinion . . . I hope I don't insult anyone . . . is that spanking is a lazy form of parenting. It doesn't force the parent to sit down with their children and explain WHY it was wrong. You just spank the kid and go on with life. But ask yourself. . . if spanking is effective, then you really should only have to spank your child once. Because if it worked, the child would misbehave again.
Everyone like to hear what they do right. By positive reinforcement, it allows the child to focus on the GOOD person they are, not the BAD. Then they'll be trying to recreate that feeling of pride by doing more good things to hear their parents say that they are proud.

I don't know, but most people up here need to whoop their kids bad asses for old, new and next week too. Read up on some of the questions up here about the bullshit these parents ALLOW their kids to do and get away with. Not in my house, buddy boy. I pity the fool that calls the cops on me for disciplining one of mine. At least mine won't be arrested by these same cops 10 years later.

Whipping people has never been condoned however spanking in an appropriate situation is another thing altogether. This is now frowned on by the dare I say it the liberal faction of our society which says that any form of physical restraint is not appropriate and should never be used well lets look at the stats and you will see the constant increase in juvenile violent offenders since these "reforms" were put into place. reaper out............

People are too scared they'll get hauled off for child abuse now. I was born in '80 and I got my fair share of whippings...

the people without kids would see it happen......enough complained about it so they had to make laws .........but their where all the kids that got beat very badly........i think you should be able to swat them on the butt once or twice without worrying about getting turned in........a quick swat will end the ten minute fit they throw for not getting the toy they wanted....and after they get swatted a couple times for whatever they are doing......they know not to do that again.........dont hurt the child....just swat them hard enough to make them not want to do that again

because back in the 50's, 60's and 70's, kids were seen and not heard, but now society has showed them that it is ok to be heard and seen, and some have taken it too far
it happened because ppl were to scared to report it for fear of repercusions. now it is totaly different
some kids need a whoopin because they r so mouthy and disrespectfull to their peers.
it really sucks how society has changed the fundementals
of life itself...

whipping your kids is not neccesarily bad but WHIPPING means different things to different people....thats where it gets sticky becasue a lot of ppl unfortunately think beatin the hell out of their kid is not worse than crackin them in the ***...the ones who overdo it ruined it for the rest of us who just wanna crack them in the *** when they need it
