Successful people spanked when young or not? Mmm?

Answer 1

I think so,most successful people know how the real world works and respect it.Those people who do the time out thing teach kids that there is no real consequence to bad behavior.I was spanked when I misbehaved as were my sisters and all grew up to be fine citizens,my kids were spanked when needed and in the correct fashion and they listen well and respect others.There is a point where a spanking becomes abuse and if you go over that point then you need to pay the piper for it.Got no use for a person who abuses women or children.Only real fight I've ever been in was at a cracker barrel where I witnessed a young father verbally abuse his son and then hit him in the face.I'm a small guy but a big heart,I made sure he didn't get by with it this time,while he lay on the ground his wife ask that I not call the police in fear of social service intervention.Kids today need a bit more punishment than they get.

Answer 2

Corporal punishment or spanking if overused can become a destructive tool. Basically, what a child needs is for a parent or caretaker to be consistant. One of the early teachers in my church taught that one well timed, and placed spanking can eliminate the need for future acknowledgments of a child's misbehavior. As a former public educator, and an intern for a child abuse prevention program, I can tell you the NEA agenda, and CPS et al do not want parents to be successful Christian parents. It's their way or the highway. Honestly, the methodology and practices of public education promote disregard for authority figures. When these young people later become young adults, but have not matured emotionally or mentally, they begin to fill up the jails and prisons. I have been told to teach the children to call CPS or the police, tell someone at school, preferably an adult, if your parent yells at you, spanks you, or otherwise makes you feel uncomfortable, by forcing you to do something...anything that you don't want to do. Now, with that in mind, I read a study done by one of our Nation's top magazines (I believe it was Time Magazine). The study was a report on the exponential increase in adolescent crime after the government of a European country (one of the nordic countries) passed laws forbidding corporal punishment by parents as well as public authority figures such as school staff, etc. I read the article at least 10 years ago, so the details are not clear...but the overall gist was that if you just do 'time-out's' or restricting priveleges, the kids will continue to test you, and try to find your weak spots. Thereby getting away with defiance, and passive aggressive behaviors that later, when these brats grow into young adults, they don't get rid of...they want to test the authority of their boss, the police, or the judges in court. Now think about our national prisoner/inmate crisis...1+1=2! I interviewed several inmates in the local county jail, and learned the biggest problem these folks had was their respect for authority, and their schemes for circumventing the laws of the land. They had no respect for their parents, the police, the judges, the correctional officers, or each other.

Answer 3

Many successful people were beaten and abused as children. That did not make them successful, but probably delayed their progress. Spanking is a bit different. Sometimes you have to swat a small child on the bottom to teach them not to run into the street, for example. I don't believe in spanking for punishment only. Spanking should be reserved for an offense that threatens safety in my opinion. I am professionally successful and was never struck as a child, nor was I yelled at.

Answer 4

I was spanked.
I turned out fine. I get along very well with my parents.
I think children should be spanked. Parents these days don't establish punishment for their children at young ages, and when they're older, they can't control them.
All spanking is is a smack on the rear. It is meant more to show the child that they were doing something bad than to actually hurt the child.
