Personally i wouldn't say that there is something wrong the DISCIPLINING their children wth spankings as long as it doesn't turn into abuse.....but the problem wth that and everything else is that if the child gets used to that kind of discipline then it'll be effective-less to do it. Try doing something the child hates...like time out (my little cousin HATES it)....having them sit in the dark for 5 minutes. Basically do something the child hates (that isn't abusive of coarse...) When i was growing my parents spanked me and now when i look back on those days i thank them for it...and I'm only 18...so...
Well i hope that helped...
May the Grace of the Lord be with you...

well there is nothing wrong with a spanking , look at how some of these kids are ?? rude , disrespectful and most parents fear their kids, that should have been nipped in the bud early in life, kids hangs around adult conversations way too much, i know times have changed but my parents were parents, not like now where parents are so self absorbed they let their kids run them, children should be seen and not heard, they should be kids and stay out of grown folks mouth.

Prosecute those responsible for abuse. Imprison habitual monsters. Reform prison life to ensure inmates need to earn their own income and buy their own food so they learn to become productive members of society.
'Reform' criminal inmates (male and female) who have been convicted of abuse by having compulsory sociology training for them whilst incarcerated. Also train people with disabilities or the unemployed to become qualified social workers and then be employed in positions where they can monitor domestic violence in the community. A grass roots approach is needed.

i raised my 2 sons by nyself.i gave them whippings when they needed it and have grounded them from their favorite things,also i have put them in a corner for about 30 min then i would tell them time was up.they straighten for awhile.then when they did something wrong again,back on restriction and back in Time Out.my youngest son is 12 and he respects ppl and helps around the house and does his chores and my 19 yr old works and he always helps with bills and the house work also.so as for me being a widow,i feel like i raised to good boys and with the help of The Good Lord above.they're both is going down the right road.and neither one will hit a girl or woman.Been a Mother for 28 yrs.

Guide and teach them. Be constant and firm. Mean 'no' when you say no, and don't back down. Be the adult. Make the decisions. Don't sweat the small stuff. Have FUN! Like them and enjoy them, and they'll be a LOT less trouble.
Good luck :-)

Well I think that if you "spare the rod you spoil the child" as proverbs quotes. You can't spank your children if you are mad at them though! it is so wrong, and you really end up hurting way more than you do any good. If you are mad at your child's disobedience you need to cool down or let you spouse do the spanking. And really one spank should do the job - there is a big difference between multiple hits, and a couple spanks on the butt - they have extra muscle mass there for a reason.

I just talk to them and lead by example. My children have never done anything that deserved being hit. Be stern when needed but not violent or abusive and never lose your control of yourself. There is never a reason to hit your kids. It is not about punishment but is about discipline. If you hit them, it only teaches them that violence is the way to solve their problems.

I am a product of corporal punishment, and in conjunction with love and learning why the punishment had been given, I have matured tremendously. I am disciplined and I do not have a criminal record, so I believe that corporal punishment does work, so long as the child is given love and realizes why they were punished.

Hitting someone that's smaller than you is never right especially a child. An adult wouldn't like it if they were hit just cause they were naughty or wouldn't do as they were told my sons fifteen and i.ve never had to hit him.

I've seen hysterical mothers acting half-crazed when their children did something(no idea wat) to displease them. They won't hit their children, just humiliate and threaten them. I was on the escalator behind one such mother and her threats made me wince(I'm an adult) so I can only imagine how damaging it is to a child.
