Society seems to me to be very wussified nowadays. No one seems to spank their kids anymore. When I was a kid (which wasn't that long ago) I got whipped quite a few times and I think I'm better for it now. None of this time-out stuff or taking away my TV or video games, just a good old fashioned beating. It forced me to take really accountability for my actions and make a real change, unlike these new "punishments" kids get today. Anyway, just wanted to see what you guys think.

I just want to say this before I start hearing it. I'm talking about disciplining a child, not abusing one. There's a big difference.

I agree. I got "whipped" when I deserved it and have never thought or felt I was beat. It truly drove the point home. I knew I would be held accountable for my actions. I do spank my kids on occasion but I feel it should only be used when verbal warnings are not working, not for every little incident.. I have done this since my kids were little and they are great kids. When I ask them to do something they do it mostly without me raising my voice. I get lots of comments on how good my kids are. I believe it is because they have been disciplined, spanking playing a part in that.

I prefer the term spank instead of whip, but when I was younger my mother used to give me "beatings." Whatever the form of discipline we would all agree that children definitely need it regularly. People who would disagree with that are usually the ones who have those children who talk back to them and have no respect for them. By the teen years the parents are getting cursed out and the kids are running things. Let the parents decide which way they want to live.

There should be more constructive whipping now a days. I wasn't one of those that fore-say was "whipped" but I saw a lot of other kids getting in and that fear alone lead me not to do a lot of stupid things, even those who got whipped did. Back in the day we didn't have anything to be taken away (i.e., tv, computer games, etc.), hell, to be sent to your room, by yourself, was a blessing in itself. Yes it more than likely did make you a different person, and it obviously didn't kill you or a lot others. But then you have and had back in the day those grown-ups/parenting individuals who took it to far. So, was it the fear of a whipping, the whipping, or some other factor that worked back in the day? There will be pro and con answers to this one and I will read them all. I am for "constructive whipping". Good question.

I'm all for spanking! I think that's what's wrong w/ the majority of society's trouble makers today...they didn't get spanked. My family lives very close to each other. ( My grandfather had a lot of land & gave each child a piece when they married for a homeseat.) So for me and my cousins, it was like growing up w/ mulitple parents because we knew that any one of our aunts or uncles could spank us if they felt it was warranted. So far none of us has ever been in jail or developed any kind of drug or alcohol problems. Most of us are in our 30s now and occassionally when we've done something stupid, you will still here one of us say, "My mom's going to kill me." LoL
I send my kids to a private school where we all, me, my husband & both of our children actually have to sign a contract agreeing to corporal punishment.
My oldest is in 7th grade now & she started at that school in Kindergarten, thru all those years there has only been ( 4 ) fights at her school & I think that's because those kids know, "Even if I beat that kid up, I'm still going to get my butt beat in the office." It's a no-win situation for them, so they keep their anger in check.
I honestly believe that is really the only way to insure you are going to have a good child that grows into a respectable, productive adult.

I think it is ok to whip your child. Every child needs some kind of discipline, but there is a big difference b/n whipping and abusing.

i was never whipped but i was really smacked around pretty bad, i dont hold it againstmy parents, but i really dont think its okay. You could get arrested, plus you put such an ammount of psychological damage on the child. I mean does hitting really do anything, its not like you hit them once and and its over with, i would keep getting hit for doing the same **** over and over again, so its not like a magic tool lol.

i think it is OK to spank your child when they need it once there at the age to understand. i would not spank a two year old they gonna get more more out of time out because that's all they wanna do is GO GO... but a 4 year year old spank him/her there to the age to know!
