is physical child discipline necessary?

Answer 1

spanks? i'd like to say i haven't done it, but i can't, sometimes when you try EVERYTHING ELSE, a spank makes them smarten up real quick

There is also a difference in a light spank to get their attention and beating your child.

Answer 2

If by phsical you mean spanking.. I believe that yes..a spanking is sometimes a good thing. For instance...I do not condone physical violence of any kind, I watch movies before my child does (to see the content), I tutor children, I am very much a proud mommy. With that being said; when my perfect little angel took off running in a parking lot and almost got hit I spanked him. The reason: I know that he knew what he was doing was wrong but CHOSE to do it any way. I'm not talking 2 yr. old...he was 6! (And in the 7th grade!) If they KNOW for a fact and make a consience decision to do it- then yes. Better me to spank him then for him to lay dead in a parking lot- right?..I think I've spanked him something like 5 times his whole life. (he's 7) and he never forgot what he should have done,again. I didn't hurt him...I didn't use anything other than my hand on his bottom. This is not abuse- this is protection. I think when it's a case of something (not dangerous) there are alot of things you can do; besides spanking him. This is a touchy subject because some people are too mentally unaware when they are scared or angry and should never be physical in any way. I hope this helps and this is only my opinion.

Answer 3

Well, there has to be a logical reason why spanking your child is perfectly legal, and often done in public. Some kids just can't get a command given by an authority figure, generally a parent, through their head. The physical means serve only to get the child's attention, so the directions can have a moment to sink in. This is to be in no way misconstrued with abuse. That generally stems from a problem with the parent, and the child serves as an easy release for that stress.

Answer 4

Yes. I think boys need physical discipline. I have a son who is 2 1/2 years old and I need to use some physical discipline to make him understand what pain is. But I never would abuse him because that would prove nothing to him about my love for him. Discipline your sons with love and they will respond accordingly. The point is to make him know that pain is wrong. I hope this helps your ambiguous feelings toward physical discipline.

Answer 6

Not for me. I'm a child abuse survivor. I understand that people giving quick swats are not exactly abusing their child, but there's tons of research out there that says that physical punishment isn't effective. I'm not using any kind of physical punishment with my child. Research it and find what works for you.

Answer 7

I dont think there is any need to physical discipline. Usually smacking is done in anger and what are we teaching our child??

Answer 8

I don't think it is necessary. Kids definitely need discipline, but there is no need to be physical. And what does that teach? Hitting is okay? I don't think so. Violence breeds violence. There are better ways to get your point across.

Answer 9

it depends on the kid some respond to timeouts some respond to taking things away some respond to politly asking and some respond to spankings i was one of those kids i was horrible. my son is just as hard headed as me.. just as long as you never disipline in anger and allways explain yourself.. like say because you____ you will get a spanking.. this doesn`t mean i don`t love you it means that i don`t love your actions......then it should be okay find out what your child responds tp and work with that.
good luck

Answer 10

no. I think getting physical is not cool. Having said that, on occasion, I will slap the butt.. if my kids run across the street... that is the quickest punishment that makes a point...
