The practice of physical discipline is better if you do not use a strap or stick. Your hand or a paddle on the behind will get the point across without leaving injuries or welts. The idea is humiliation and not injury or bigger and better pain.
Also there must be a clear understanding of the punishment prior to the infraction. If you are just whacking children at arbitrary times, the punishment doesn't mean anything. It just exposes you as a tyranical abuser.
Also do not hit your children in public, even on the buttocks. You may feel that this will enhance the humiliation feature of the punishment but it will work against you, and the observers will be made to feel extremely uncomfortable.

No! Without question,It is not okay! It is not okay to injure your kids. If you are so angry with your kids that you could ever think it would be okay, then it is time to walk away. Time out for parent and child until both of you are calm enough to work things out with reason, ration, love and understanding. Belts and paddles only teach a child not to get caught, they don't say anything about what the child did wrong, or why it was wrong, or how the child can to right in the future. When a child makes a mistake it is the parents job to teach them those things, not to beat them for having messed up.

Parents have a moral responsibility to teach their children right from wrong. Belts and paddles are two of MANY tools which would be useful toward this end. HOWEVER, in this current society, it would be unwise to resort to them even in moderation. The Liberal Morons have taken over the legal system, and you could go to jail for it.

What do you hope to accomplish? To teach him that someone bigger than him has a right to beat him up? Maybe when you get old and are ready for a nursing home. Instead of helping you down the stairs he pushes you down the stairs. Why, because he can and you taught him being a bully is the right thing to do.
Besides you walking slow and irritating him. Sound familiar?
Why not teach him that some things are inappropriate in certain places. Talk to him. make him take a time out.
Training isn't beating, it is talking, communicating.
My friend has a kid that is a brat. He talks to her and explains the difference between right and wrong what can happen to her if she chooses to do the wrong thing. Being patient and kind she seems to be responding. It isn't easy to be a parent.

"no no no" Oh my god! People anymore are such big pansy asses. I got my *** whipped with a belt all the time when I was a kid and it was the best way to deal with me. I am better for it. this is the reason kids are so damn wild nowdays b/c they're not afraid of the punishment. Stop being hippies and whip that ***.

The word "whip" is a strong one. I support disciplining children and letting them know that at home and out in society we have rules to abide by. If you choose to spank you child that is your spouse and your desicion alone and no onle elses. However if you abuse your child, pysically ,mentally anfd emotionally you are only causing them to resent you and the only way they will be able to resolve issues will be to use viomence. This is where I most definately think that child services MUST step in for the child's welfare. An adult knows the differerence between abuse and discipline.

Some type of ''corporal punishment'' is needed from time to time. I know I wouldn't be where I am without having received physical reprimands when needed. There are those who, for whatever reason, deal out frequent, unwarranted beatings and other equally brutal punishments. These people are child abusers and should be arrested for their crimes and punished accordingly!

You know this is too broad a question. Let me tell you this, corpral punishment is not wrong when it is applied apropriately. I spanked my son when he needed it. I didn't beat the hell out of him or leave marks. I personally used a little switch. Of course we are so enlightened these days that everyone on here is going to answer in the negative. So thumbs down for me but at least I'm honest. Oh yeah for all the bleeding hearts he turned out great and he LOVES his Mom!!!

In and of itself it's not abuse.
It depends on the offense, how hard you're hitting, things like that.
When it comes to corporal punishment, I think this is a good way to evaluate it: If you're doing it because the kid really deserves it, you're being a responsible parent; if you're doing it to prove to the world what a big, bad @$$ed disciplinarian you can be, you're nothing more than a bully.
