Do u think wooping your kids is wrong?

Answer 1

I wooped my little girl once and tears came to my eyes and she came and sat in my lap and said, as she patted my shoulder . thats ok Daddy, I deserved it, I never hit her again.Thats up to you hon.They are your children,

Answer 2

All kids are different, some will listen and some won't and it's just as simple as that. I personally don't think there is anything wrong with a spank if they need it (as in you've already tried talking to them and they didn't listen). I wouldn't use the word "wooping though" it sounds worse than spank but I knew what you meant :). I know from experience (neices and nephews) that sometimes that IS the only way they'll listen!

Answer 3

Depends more on what the "wooping" consists of. A smack on the behind or a violent beating? I've always thought that using physical punishment on a child said more about a lack of control on the adult's part rather than on the child's. I'm not saying to raise a pack of spoiled brats, but there are better ways to teach what's right and wrong. I raised two sons who are both in college now (one is in law school, actually), and they never, ever got into any kind of trouble in school or elsewhere. I did not have to beat them to teach them the right way to behave. Usually, the best thing to do is set a good example. They see you hitting, how can you tell them not to do it to anyone else? Children live what they learn and learn what they live.

Answer 4

That's touchy. Sometimes wooping your kids shows kids that hitting is okay and we all know that it's not. Sometimes a quick tap on the bottom gets does get their attention real fast when they are about to do something really stupid or dangerous. Like running out in the street or playing with a growling dog.

Answer 5

I'm from the old school, spare the rod spoil the child!! i feel that's whats wrong with these kids today , parents don't beat that ***, & the kids are running all over the parents, i got my tail wooped, & so did my kids, they all turned out to be good kids, except one, the baby boy i spoiled him, and he didnt get spankings, and he turned out to be my worst night mare!! all my other ones are fine, have good jobs & stable family life.

Answer 6

It really depends on what they do I guess, the only time I ever put a hit on their behind is if they did something that would hurt them, like go near the street. It's hard to punish a child today because sending them into their room isn't a good idea any more......not with most of them having video games to play, computers and stereo's to listen too. I thank God all my kids are grown up now.

Answer 7

Yea i think it is wrong because you are like hurting your child and also that is child abuse, if you have to diplince your child just put them in time-out or take something away from them. Wooping is not good at all and i recommed you not to do that.

Answer 8

I think spanking a child is always wrong because spanking is not necessary to guide a child to responsible, polite self-discipline - the goal of every parent, for the child must leave one day. Because spanking has been shown to lower iq, create aggression and resentment in a child so punished, and because spanking doesn't usually change behavior, it is wrong to use spanking. Because spanking violates the fundemental trust between parent and child, it is wrong to spank. Because spanking teaches that someone who loves you can hurt you, spanking is wrong. Many people who argue in favor of spanking and point to 'the collapse of society' are overlooking the fact that most Americans spank. Surveys find 65 - 87% of Americans spank. The collapse of society has more to do with massive change in social roles, day care, and the mind-numbing effects of tv.

Child learn from loving guidance and need a foundational relationship with a mommy who is reliable, loving, and a good role model herself. When children are strongly attached to mommy, best accomplished by human milk on demand for at least two years and no separation from mommy of more than an hour here and there for the first five years, this children are independent (counter-intuitive to some) and eager to please mommy and daddy - and by extension, those mommy and daddy identify as others to listen to.

The book "How to Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk" puts forth a beautiful alternative to violence in parenting. It's an alternative that strengthens the family, strengthens mom and dad's position in the family, and helps children grow capable of taking charge of their own lives.

When a child solves a problem facing him by figuring out what to do to not get hit, he is not really solving the problems before him, and his parents have missed the greatest opportunity for growth and development.

My foster-sister is researching the hypothesis that the violence of slavery has been retained by many african-american families - they use it against each other. My fs is looking at the connection between the extreme violence characteristic of low ses african american families and the extreme violence characteristic of the interractions between young african american males.

Answer 9

It all depends what your intent is. If its just to woop them then yes I think that's wrong. If you do it for every little bit of bad behavior--yes I think that's wrong. Actually I think if you "whoop" a child it's wrong. In my opinion whoop and spank are two totally different things.

Answer 10

No I don't think that it's wrong if the reason is good. Just don't go around handing out whoppings all day. There's nothing wrong with a little discipline every now and then.
