is it best to dispcipline on bare bottoms or on?

Answer 1

No. Having been spanked on my bare bottom as a child, I refuse to do this to my own (when I have children). It is abusive, and if the parent cannot correct the child without having to rely on the spanking method, then I don't believe they are very good parents.

If you must spank them, do *not* spank them bare. Through the pants is sufficient--nothing more. However, I am absolutely against any forms of spanking whatsoever.

Parents should be able to discipline and teach their children right from wrong without resorting to violent or abusive tactics.

Answer 2

Bare bottoms spanking is not necessary to correct a child. This causes pain. Nor is using an object other than your hand. Altho it appears to work, I think this sends the wrong message to a child. A child should never be struck "above the belt." A spanking shouldn't be done in anger, only sternness. Whatever message you give a child while punishing them, sticks. A parent must be in control of them self while giving a spanking. Otherwise, if a parent carelessly or consistantly yells, smacks on the face or head, spanks bare-bottoms, grabs, curses, or any combination of these, you are possibly condemning your child to a life of frustration as an adult. My mother spanked me as a child with her hand until she broke a vessel in her palm. Her right never healed correctly. She is 78 now and tho I've never said anything, I have noticed that hand thru the years and it's as if it's just her normal hand now. But now that I think about it, perhaps it's a reminder to her, too? She was an orphan and beat as a child. I got spanked often with her hand and cried. I had an uncontrollable temper up until I finally had a child of my own at age 34. My daughter helped me realise many things about myself and I remember tapping her diaper once to scold her when she was first toddling around getting into things. She instantly reacted by turning her head around to look into my eyes, beginning to cry, but I told her she couldn't do that, said, "Okay?" And then I gave her a Mel Gibson smile and she instantly quelled that crying instinct, and went on to something else. I only had to spank her one other time when she was about 4 or 5 and now she is almost 13 and is a very calm, self-confident young person. I'm not just trying to pat myself on the back here; I think every child deserves the right to learn right from wrong correctly and who but their very own parent can give them that. Or, unknowingly, take it away?

Answer 3

If you can get the kid's attention by spanking them through their pants, you don't need the bare bottom. If they're not getting the message...bottoms up!

.

Answer 4

Not on bare skin, that's just too painful.
Edit: And just what is wrong with disagreeing about hitting a bare bottom? If this is a child being talked about are you not concerned too?
