if u spank your kid do u put them over knee or have them le dwon or what and dose it work?

Answer 1

It depends on their age. With my younger kids i have them wait in our front room for a few minutes.....I then explain to them why mommy has to spank them i put them on my knee and spank them a few times. My older two go through the same routine but they just bend over they are too big to put on my knee (12&14)....luckily I don't have to spank them too often.
Very important though is that they ALWAYS get sent to bed afterwards,no matter what time of day it is....it gives them time to understand the punishment,consistency is the key.

Answer 2

I have never spanked my 5 1/2 year old son. He isn't perfect, but he's a very good child.

Answer 3

I really think that spanking only works for young kids. Because we're not trying to beat our children, the thing that they get out of spanking is that youre upset with them and that hurts their feelings. My son is about to turn two and he doesnt get spanked a lot but if i say "do you want to get a spanking?" he stops right away and says no. Once theyre past the age where you have to fight with them literally it is kind of pointless. I just hold him where his arms are over one of mine and reach around and pop him on the butt a couple of times. I don't like laying them down because if youre not holding them it's easier to not feel the pressure and force of your hand and you can really hurt them.

Answer 4

I always give my son a warning first then if he does whatever wrong again i follow it through with a whack on the arm or on the leg but only once. I try to use timeout mostly but that doesn't work for everything. I tell him why he was smacked and it's not behaviour that i'm going to accept. I go by a rule that if you smack them you make up for it by lots of kisses and cuddles three times over, so that they know they are loved but you are not going to put up with crap from them either. It's all a learning curve and if that doesn't work you can always put em in a cupboard jk i've never done that to my son tempting though : )

Answer 5

Make them lay across the bed and then you can get a back swing before the follow through

Answer 6

I have never ever spanked my kids!!! I was spanked growing up and I do no think that spanking works!! My 4 yr old (other is a baby) is a very respectful child and he is a great listener. For discipline, it's a If and Then situation. For example, if you don't listen, then you will go to bed early. Works like a charm--without violence.

Answer 7

I have to wrestle my son to the floor first, unless I can grab him by surprise. I say it is really a waste of my time as discipline (due to the wrestling, I get more angry and worked up) but when he simply isn't paying attention, a little pop usually wakes him up.

Answer 8

Dont spank ur kid, it doesnt work at all...all it shows is that viloence is used to teach the child from right and wrong, and thats defently t he wrong way.....
Time outs work! have a set corner somewhere in ur home and have a timer...its a min for their age...so if u have a 2 year old, then they sit in the corner for 2 mins....after 5 or 6 time outs a day lol they get the hint

Answer 9

Spanking never works, as it shows that the parent has lost control of their own emotions. Time out for certain age groups, ignoring their behavior, such as temper tantrums, and so on is the best solution. Think about it; if you are mad, do you want someone to hit you.
Parenting skills are difficult, because we only get one chance, and then they are grown. And typically, we do what was done to us. Be firm, be consistent, but don't hit them. A swat on the bottom is not what I'm talking about; I mean actually putting them over your knee, or laying them down; this puts them in a vunerable position, which makes the hitter the powerful one. Since raising a child isn't about who is the strongest or most powerful, other ways must be learned. There are great books out, great TV programs about parenting now (Super Nanny, etc.), and parenting classes. Good luck.

Answer 10

I don't swat them I tell then to stand on their heads till their brains fall out. In the case of my kids that is about 10 minutes and they are very repentant for whatever they have done.
