Should children be spanked if they have done somthing to deserve it?

Answer 1

As the Bible tells us: "He who spareth the rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him correcteth him betimes" & "Withhold not correction from a child: for if thou strike him with the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and deliver his soul from hell." People took God out of school and spanking is now "wrong"...Kids are horrible now a days!!! Maybe we should have left things the way they were(?)

Answer 2

It is a personal choice.I have a 2 1/2 year old son and until recently i would spank him if he was bad. I now use the time out method. Young children dont have fully developed minds and the dont fully understand cause and effect...for example if they do something wrong and you spank them for it they cant connect why they are getting hurt by mommy or daddy.Its not a spanking in their eyes, its just "ouch why did they do that?" They cant connect pain to an action they did. I would suggest you try another method of punishment. Talk to your child's pediatrician and get some discipline methods. That's what i did. Hope this helps!

Answer 3

I spank my son but only as a last resort. I was spanked when I was a child and it really didn't bother me. I didn't get put on punishment i would get a spanking and go right back to do ing what I was doing. I am a strong believer of punishment. I think taking something away from a child hurts more than a spanking sometimes.

Answer 4

We went the first 2 years without spanking, doing only time-outs. What I got was a spoiled child who glared at me from the time-out chair. Then she got spanked after biting another child. She didn't do it again. And the nice thing is, after a couple of spankings, you usually don't have to do it very often, the threat is enough.

We spank very sparingly, for serious offenses only that create a danger to her or others. It makes it very clear when something is not acceptable. We don't like it, but I'd rather spank her bottom than have her continue to do something dangerous or hurt others.

Just don't do it in anger. Only spank when you are in full control of your emotions. And it doesn't need to be hard, you shouldn't leave marks.

Answer 5

i believe too many people have their panties in a bunch when it comes to spanking it is like they didn't know the difference between spanking and beating every generation before me and including me in my family were spanked i even got the belt once but that was serious and i really deserved that i am not going to use the belt on her but im not afraid to give her a little pop on the hiney if she acts out the belt while popular in generations past is really frowned apon in todays age even by ppl who got the belt themselves but personally im against any punishment thet leaves welps that last for days but spanking could really benefit many of these unruly hellions thet ruin the dining experience for everyone in a resturant because their parents let them and do nothing but beg them to behave

Answer 6

Nothing a child can do, deserves a physical punishment. They are children, they do not have the same abilities as an adult to use reason and good judgement. They learn things by making mistakes and pushing the limits. If you are consistent with your child, use your words, re-direct the child, for every "no" give two reasonable choices, then the child will learn what is not acceptable. As an adult, on the other hand, you do have the ability to make sensible choices, and it is your responsibility not to use physical punishment on anybody. Nobody deserves to be physically punished, it's just a means of bullying someone who is smaller than you, that doesn't have a chance at fighting back.

Answer 7

You answer your question yourself ;-)
If they have done sth that deserves them a spanking then they should be spanked of course.

Answer 8

Yes!!!!!!!!!!! They need to know when they do something bad - they will be disciplined, however, remember - there is a difference between a spanking and abuse - so please don't over do it. A slight pat on the butt, from time to time, is NOT going to hurt a child. Children need direction and discipline. The worse thing a parent can do is doing nothing at all.

Answer 9

I believe that children should be spoanked whe they have done something extreme and need to face consequences. I was raised with spankings, I even had a paddle with my name o it and I turned out good I think.

Answer 10

I think that they should be spanked for things that are dangerous for them like running out in the street, playing with electrical outlets...or other things that could jeopordize their safety.
