How do you feel about kids being spanked?

Question

I spank my kids. When I go in public my kids are the ones behaving themselves. I do think there is a limit between spanking and beating (A BIG ONE and if you beat your kids you should be in jail!). I think that the reason that kids are the way they are these days is because there not spanked!!!!!!!!!!!!! I belive that kids should have manners and respect thier parents. I would like to know other peoples points of view on this. I also feel sorry for all the kids out there that have no disaplin because even the Bible says if you don't spank your kids you don't love them!

And just James knows I was spanked and I have NEVER been in jail or in trouble with the law in anyway!!! I also want you to all to know I would NEVER hit my kids to take ou tmy anger!!!!!

Answer 1

Honey I agree with you.Now society says you can't spank your child, but you can't always talk out a situation. They are going to do what they want anyway. If they are brought up properly. they will know that spanking is a way, that shows that you love them enough, that you don't want them to get into trouble. Just look at the way the world is going now, and tell me that spanking is wrong. I say spare the rod and spoil the child. You don't need to beat them and that is why they have padding on their little behinds. It hurts there pride and then they forget about it. They will always know that you love them. Tell them this is going to hurt me more than it will you..When I spanked my children they new I loved them. but i would go into another room and cry because I had to do my job. They turned out to be fine children. I am very proud of them. God Bless.

I agree with you...! I only spanked my oldest on a coupla occasions when she was about 3 or 4 (alone) and later when she was about 6 or 7 (in front of her younger sister)... Never had to spank the other 2 once...! They're just real nice girls...

Answer 3

i think spanking is a very good way to discipline a child. its the children who aren't getting spanked who are making our children feel bad about themselves cause they think they are all that. Also i agree that there is a HUGE difference between beatings and spankings. so the last thing i want to say is YOU GO GIRL,YOU ROCK!!!

Answer 4

>Yup! It has worked for generations in this kinfolk and our community. My newborn gets much less spankings than I did and my mom had 7 different siblings that granny had found out the approach of having the real confession from the youngster that did incorrect. > my ultimate chum in basic terms had one spanking in his fifty one years of existence...yet then he became strangely vibrant and clever. maximum each and every person isn't...spanking is the final motel whilst it's time to discipline. you attempt each and all the reasoning and counting and time outs...whilst all that would not artwork and the youngster has repeated the comparable wrongful habit it's time to bounce initiate the strategies with somewhat soreness. >soreness is a warning sign on your strategies that something is misguided right here. some human beings pick to forget with reference to the soreness till they have attain the "its broke now" point. >In spanking my newborn i'm attempting to stay away from extra harm of dying or penitentiary time etc. My newborn is familiar with that i do no longer in basic terms dole out spanking what/whilst ever. this is an earned unfavourable consequences as whilst my newborn does something nicely there are earned beneficial consequences.

Answer 5

When I was growing up I got spanked. A LOT. I deserved it every time. Sometimes (not too often) I got hit by fists. I deserved it every time. I took some beatings in my time and I never once felt abused. My parents reprimanded me out of love. I'm much better off for it today. My father used to say, "they only remember one thing" and he was right.

Answer 6

I agree with you too. If I ever have kids they're getting spanked when they misbehave. A belt or something similar is going way too far. Actually injuring the kid is criminal and horrible.

Answer 7

If you beat them with a stick then No; but if you kick'em with your cowboy boots then that's acceptable.... I'm just kidding! Swat their behinds with your hands is a way to let them know that you meant it. And don't spank them out of anger is the best advice I could give, but it's ok to let them know who is boss....Have fun with your little ducklings!

Answer 8

Why do you feel the need to hit your children?

Obviously you do it when they are being naughty but is it not to get your own frustration out because they are misbehaving and not listening to you??

I dont think there is much of a limit between spanking and beating as the way i see it your hitting a defenceless child who cant hit you back and if they did hit you back you`d say they weren`t showing you the respect you deserve as their parent but how much respect are you showing them as your children??

Answer 9

right on girlfriend, i spanked all my kids and like yours they were the only ones not being total animals. Kids need to know right from wrong and to respect there elders.

Answer 10

I've only had to spank my daughter once in her life and she is 15. She is also extremely disciplined and courteous to her elders. I have a three year old son that is giving me a harder time at achieving this with him though. I think it all depends on each child, and how they react to your rearing.
