Has your child ever struck you?????

Question

HOW FAR DO YOU LET YOUR CHILD GO !!!!!!!!

Answer 1

If you're talking about an older child...then no.

That is far, if that happened. I think I would call the Police and Press Charges. My gut says that "if I let that happen once, and there were no hard consequences for that, it would happen to me again" because I hadn't shown my child the boundry limit.

I have 5 kids, 3 boys, 14-19, and I'd have to do the "tough love thing" if they hurt me like that...that's assult. Period, no matter who you are and not matter how much you love them.

That is not healthy or normal and the adult has to do what it takes to stop it. They will respect the parent later, but the waiting for that repect would be very very hard, could take years.

You could live in fear, that they would do it again, it gives them control over you...and is that what you want to "example" to them, that they can "bully"? Stricking anyone is "Warped and Wrong"

Hope whoever this applies too, does the right thing:)

Answer 2

Just as parents may not abuse children, children may not abuse parents. How old is the child?

The state's attorney's office would want you to report that strike. It's called battery. But if you report it, you're going to have lots of trouble with the Department of Children and Family Services and your child may end up in juvenile hall. If the child is old enough to reason with him, then you can explain that his behavior is unacceptable and that if you were to call the police, they would charge him with battery and he would have a record which would hurt his chances for good employment etc.

Do not let a child hit you. Do not hit the child. give him a time out. Stand him face into the corner until he calms down. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Practice 1,2,3 Magic.
If he wants to hit something, give him a pillow or a punching bag.

Answer 3

Once. Then I struck him on the butt and he's never done it again.
A child needs to know that hitting a parent is not acceptable, ever!
You need to ask the child if he would like to be struck, because it hurts you when he/she does it, if he persists you need to fight fire with fire.
I am not promoting violence, however children need boundaries and time out is good if it resolves the situation, but some children just won't go for it and before the child starts hitting other children in Day Care or Kindergarten one needs to take action.

Answer 4

immediately say no grab their hand -
advise them that if they do it again, it will be a spanking

a pat on the back low enough and often enough will cure any child's ills (that is where God put the padding for a reason)

my children got a pop with a wood spoon (never hit them with your hand) for each year they were old - 6 years = 6 pops
notice - pops not beatings -
they cried more that they were getting the spoon rather than being hit!

my 31 years old sopn was driving me the other day - and said Thanks Dad - I asked - for what ?
For teaching me how to drive - that catch look after you have made the decision to turn a corner - I have 'caught' 5 cars coming to have an accident with me - that I was able to stop and let them by - thanks Dad

( I had to dial 9-1-1 for an ambulance - not really)

yeah - spankings have warped that kid

Answer 5

My nephew (who's 4) and generally a good little guy hits my sister on occasion.

If you want a child to hit people or think it's ok... then hit him or her back. If you want to stop a child from hitting... then time out is a great alternative. Time out or nap/bed time is the other best option.

If the chid gets up from his/her bed or corner... just put'em back every time until your little one falls asleep or sincerely apologizes.

Answer 6

Yes i have been struck by a child before and no i dont condone it you have to understand the situation. the child i speek of is disabled and has a problem controlling anger.

Answer 7

My children have never hit or disrespected me in my presence. Now when I say in my presence, they have did things at school that I have disapproved of and I let them know. But as far as hitting to, no. And I hope that day never comes. One thing my children see and hear is that I still fear my mother today. It is not a fear that she will harm me. But out of respect for her. My mother hasn't been there much for me and my children know that. However, I tell them that she is still my mother and the lady who gave birth to me regardless. I will always respect and love her. We, as parents, I believe do not spend enough time talking to our children. Life has us preoccuppied with so many things that we think that there isn't time or forget. But I have found that sharing my past experiences, talking about their future and goals, and letting them know that I expect more from them has helped.

Answer 8

When my daughter was 3 she stomped on my foot and broke my toe. I was so afraid of what my reaction to her would be I wouldn't let her near me for over a hour. I called my sister to get her right away. She was so hurt that I didn't deal with her that she never even had a temper tantrum again. to this day we are both close and fiercely protective of each other.

Answer 9

Yes. Once by a three year old and again by a ten year old. The three year old was okay, he was only playing and accidently hit me in the face. The ten year old slapped me and I slapped him back, then called the police on him for assault.

Answer 10

i don't have a child but i have a younger sister. once she hits me that's when i take her had and tell her to stop. then i take her to our room and tell her that it is not nice and not good to hit. after about talking about it fir an hour or less she apologies and she does not do it anymore
