Do you believe physical disipline is good for your kid?

Question

I mean cracking their @ss when they act up, or do you just "repremand" your kid, yelling, sending them to their room ect

Answer 1

Depends on the situation.

Although I do think there are times to give the kid a spanking, but ONLY when all other forms of discipline have been exhausted.

A parent needs to talk to their child (and actually be a prent to them. Yeah, I know, that's WAY tough, but then you shouldn't be a parent if you wanted it easy.) and find out WHY the kid is acting that way.

The next thing should be consequences for their actions like punishment: taking away their fave toy, taking away privleges, etc.

And finally, spanking should be the ultimate last resort when all other options have been exhausted.

Also, if the parent is spanking more than actually showing love, then they are NOT being good parents.

Just look at how horribly spoiled rotten those jackazzes on MTVs Sweet 16 are. The back of my hand is ALWAYS itching to lay the SMACKDOWN on them.

Just my two cents.

Answer 2

Hitting, even a spanking, just shows a parent that they've failed to reach the child. If you have to hit them "as a last resort" it means that all the other things you did didn't work, and you're teaching the child that if everything else doesn't work, resort to violence.

Being a parent is really hard. It takes a lot of time and attention, and modern life makes that difficult. But the job is to teach children how to be good people, and that rarely involves hitting someone.

i trust that once they are too youthful to reason with, like 2, then a smack on the bottom is a thanks to bypass. surprisingly at the same time as they are being very naughty or doing some thing risky. i'm getting pissed off when I watch those new age mothers and fathers attempting to reason with their infant. declaring such issues as 'please do not attempt this' at the same time as they are demolishing a keep exhibit, or kicking at a parked motor vehicle or such nonsense. a company 'no' as a caution, then a flat exceeded short smack on the in the back of, that's in many cases properly cushioned at that age besides. not in any respect smack everywhere else and not in any respect use an merchandise although. at the same time as the youngsters are older although, timeouts, eliminating of privileges and so on. is a lot extra valuable. Sitting them down and explaining why their behaviour is unacceptable and what effects will outcome from their moves is a thanks to bypass. merely my opinion.

Answer 4

I guess Ive been lucky...Ive only had to spank my kids a few times and mostly when they were younger....sending them to there rooms never did anything...i just took away there privileges...that always got them the most...and Ive always explain why they were in trouble and why we shouldn't do certain things....

Answer 5

I was bought up with a smack on the bum when we were naughty, and I think it's a good thing. I hate this political correctness farce, as long as you don't beat the absolute crap out of your kid then it's fine. Sending them to their room is good - after a smack on the bum.

Answer 6

Physical discipline -- spanking, swatting, pushing, shoving -- is child abuse, assault even!
If another adult hit you when you mouthed off or did something he/she didn't like, how would you react? Would you pop them back?
Spanking never kept me from doing what I really wanted and spanking (I'm sorry to admit) never kept our daughter from doing exactly what she wanted. In fact, it created a lot of resentment and disrespect.
Removal of various privileges -- grounding, early curfew, television viewing or phone restrictions, financial "punishment" -- worked much better.

Answer 7

I never believed in yelling OR hitting - my kid grew up just fine.

Answer 8

time out always worked for me.

Answer 9

no,i have bed memories of my mother doing that to me.
