My opinion is that if i had a child and he or she misbehaved i.e. Lied, stole, talked back, threw a fit or whatever I'd beat their little ***.

My mom used to beat me with a brush or a wooden spoon. I never held it against her because i knew i did something wrong. Mind you this was not an everyday thing, my mother is not abusive.

I did things like lying to her and at one point stole a phone card and talking back.

Amen to that. You have to get the upper hand, and spankings (not love swats or pats) will get the job done. I have raised three boys and four grandkids, and I have spanked all of them at one time or another. It is amazing how much good to correct behavior a spanking will do. Too many "parents" today are just going through the motions and not taking care of business. I see them in the stores every day. Moms or Dads will be there with a child (spanking age) throwing a fit, crying, making noise, and all they do is just say, "Now, Junior, you quit that and be nice." I have to bite my lip and go to another aisle. Time outs and verbal threats do not work well. America is raising one of the most disrespectful generation on the books - that is the reason that we have school shootings and all of the teen suicide, etc.. Parents beware - do your job or all of us will reap the "benefits" of our untrained undisciplined young people.

I personally don't believe in spankings. I was beat as a child and still carry the emotional and physical scars. I have yet to spank my kids and they turned out just fine. I understand about misbehaving but there are other options. It has to be handled early.

okay i am not a mom but am around kids and i love them...but i believe that if the child misbehaves s/he does need to get there azz beat but like a spankin or slap on the hand...when i was younger and got in trouble i would mostly get really beat...it is something i will never forget...but i do believe in the right to show your child that you are the parent when they act like they are...my niece, i spank her and i know she feels it...it is no tap on the butt she'll say ''that hurt'' and i just tell her that ''it was meant'' to and have her sit on the couch untill she can stop cryin for one min...and it works well with her.

I believe in spankings. I have 5 children and I have spanked them occasionally when necessary. I have found other ways to chastise my children when necessary but if they get completely out of hand then I will spank their behinds. Most people say that spanking leads to violence, but that's all a crock of bull because I was spanked as a child and I am not violent or angry as a matter of fact most people say that I always seem to have a smile on my face. The fact that parents are afraid to spank their children is what is wrong with the children today. Most of the children today are rude and disrespectful, but I don't have that problem with mine because my children know that i will spank their behinds if the get out of hand and I do not tolerate disrespect.

From the answers that I have seen on your question, my answer isn't a popular one. But, no I do not believe in spanking, I have never done this to my children and never will. I don't want to cause physical pain to someone I love so much. There are other ways of teaching children right and wrong. Everyone has different parenting styles that work for them but, I think it is wrong.

Absolutely Since so many people quit disciplining their children is when teenage age crime increased and most kids nowadays have no respect for anything.. My generation was spanked and on a whole I'd say we were brought up pretty good

A good spanking -- especially while young--helps set the ground rules for children and in the long run leads them to respect of the parent who cared enough to keep them in line. As they grow older, the spanking should be replaced with conversations concerning reason, choices and responsibility.

The argument against spanking has I believe lead to the increased lack of respect shown by the youth of today.I was spanked as a child and I spanked my children.I also expect them to spank there children if they are disobedient.If you don't want your child spanked don't ask me to baby sit.

I believe in spanking, like a swat on the bottom or something like that. You beat your child, you deserve to be beaten as well.

If you're talking about a hand on the butt, that's fine (if the punishment fits the crime). But just don't be using rulers, belts or wooden spoons...
