do you think its wrong to spank your children ?

Answer 1

Absolutely not!! Just remember that there is a difference between spaking and abusing a child. Time-outs are good, but sometimes they just need a good old fashioned spanking to get the point across.......

Answer 2

as a child i used to get spanked by my dad and i hated him for it but as an adult i look back and think about all the things that i did that caused him to spank me and think logically man i deserved that really. It did teach me a lesson. I do spank my older daughter now sometimes but i do feel very guilty about it and although she may not understand why now and only think that i am being mean she will understand as she grows older. Spankings are usually used as a last resort after previous alternative methods of discipline have been unsuccesful. If a parent must administer a spanking, it should not be done in anger(indeed discipline must be rational and consistent, not emotional satisfaction.) for spanking to be educational it must be percieved as logical and just: the spankee must know what exactly it is for. some recommend preceding the spanking with an explanation as to why they are being spanked. or in the case of older child having them explain to you why so that the child understands what the misdeed was. spanking is generally considered corrective punishment without the intention of any permanent or physical injury. so spank on the bottom. it barely hurts, never bruises a child and half the time it is just the embarrasment of the spanking and not any pain that gets the point across. of course their are many different opinions on this subject but the majority of parents agree that they try to avoid a spanking but if it extremely nescessary a spanking is ok. not a beating big difference. although it may be the law in some places it is still an ongoing argument of parental rights as opposed to human rights. example: a parent should have the right to discipline their own children how they wish. as opposed to a human beong has the right to not be spanked or touched by another human being in a way that is not allowed. you decide. good luck. although i envy those whos children can be punished by time out in a corner. this just isnt always effective for some children. if it was i think everyone would use it and not spank at all.

Answer 3

No. I was spanked and I turned out just fine. And 90% of the time, whatever I was getting spanked for, that's the last time I did it.

The thing with steady discipline is once the kid gets the idea, you don't need to do it as often because the child behaves better. What a concept, supervising and disciplining your kids so they grow up responsible and aren't dissecting cats in the back yard or screwing around at the age of 13.

Answer 4

No I don't think it's wrong.
It feels really bad to do it, but with some kids it's the only way they learn. Spanking seems to be the only discipline that works sometimes.
My parents spanked me and my 10 siblings for bad behaviour and we all turned out to be good and decent adults. As children we were really annoying little sods and we got what we deserved.

Answer 5

as far as this question goes well unfortunatly it doesnt matter what we think the law says no and its concidered child abuse. I dont personally spank my child for one i dont need cps on my *** and for two spanking was a huge part in my growing up, so unfair and it didnt teach me much of anything other than i really dont like my dad and rarelly even talk to him. There are other more civil ways to disapline a child for example taking away something they enjoy most t.v. video games frinds etc.

Answer 6

yes -of course no one is perfect- but if you reach the point where you have to spank them you should seek pro help. because a spank today is abuse tomorrow. and even if it doesn't reach the extent of abuse, your kida will stop responding politely after a few weeks.

Answer 7

no i think its wrong to let children run wild just because a hand full of people thinks its wrong thats whats wrong with kids these days we give them everything they want and there are no consequences for bad behavior

Answer 8

I don't spank mine i use time out or the corner thing you know you stand in corner for however old you are. An sometimes it just helps to get on their level.I've been at friends houses with my kids and saw them whip their children and my kids were terrified of them ever since.i think sometimes parents go a bit far with spanking especially if they are angry.

Answer 9

Not necessarily wrong (no parent's perfect) but not right because it doesn't work! Doesn't mean your child should 'get away with it', but there are better ways. Seeing your kid spanking their little brother/ sister, using the same words you have used in the past, isn't a good look, either.

Answer 10

Not wrong but I'd try all other resources first. A tap and a no no can do it, you don't have to smack or hit them.
