Yes
They will learn that way. They will learn to associate pain with wrong and essentially learn wright from wrong. I was spanked as a kid a few times for swearing, I still don't swear in front of my kids, not because I'm scared but because I have been taught that it is wrong and subconsciously I don't want to do it.

well, that is a good question. I know I would of spanked my child but then again where did she hear it and is it in the home??
I think w/the new ideas and penalties that go along w/spanking a child there is bound to be better options.
Perhaps asking her what that word means? Explaining that since your the mom and your the boss does she think using that type of language will gain any freedom? Then lower the boom and explain that for that she will receive a week restriction including no t.v. or computer.
good luck.

No.
If someone does spank they should have stopped before the age of 9. If someone does spank maybe a swat real quick for a toddler, but never a child older then that.
There are many more effective ways to discipline and parent then spanking a 9 year old.

Hey whos the Parent Here? If a child you love is not disciplined EARLY than you are letting them on a free pass to do it to others if they do it to their Parent. If you love this child the last thing should be to hoId back punishment. try to get to the root of this. Where has this 9yr old heard this word and of course if this child already has called the mom a 'b' than id sent them to the corner of the room and with, a suggestion, a mouth full of tapatio hot sauce. then teach them an hour later of what hap[penned and know what he/she did. Then ill tell them i love him/her. always.

I think spanking is a fair punishment, but the emotional toll on the child will be immeasurable. I think it would be better to have the child write a letter describing what led her to feel that she had to use the b word. Then, I would look at myself as the parent and ask yourself ,'do you use the b word around your daughter?' Why might she think it is okay to use it? So-first thought is to spank, but you have to look at the bigger picture.

Yes it is because a child should never speak that way even to an elder so I think that u should not only spank her u should talk her privileges for a week or so thats what my mother did when i said that word towards my older sister only 1 year older than me so i would think spanking wouldn't do the job without a friend on the side so take her privileges away and she will learn to not use that word toward others at all

This is just my opinion, but I think no. What is that going to teach him, that swearing and verbal insults are wrong, but physical punishment is okay? I think that a stern lecture is the way to handle this behavior. Kids that age don't really understand how extreme that word is. One of his classmates at school hears it on tv, he uses at lunch, your child picks it up. He probably thinks it just as bad as calling a parent a "poopyhead" or something. Just explain to him that that word is VERY disrespectful.
I have a hunch that all the children that think that problems can't be solved just by words and think that they need to hit people who do something wrong are the ones that are being spanked by their parents. Because isn't that exactly what spanking is telling them?

Yes bare bottomed over the knee old fashioned style should teach a good lesson. Spanking until the bottom is well tanned with your bare hand so you don't over do it! Then have them stand in the corner for an hour to think about what they did.
Afterwards have a good talk and make them apologize to mom.
Spare the rod and spoil the child. Your child needs discipline before it is more than the b word that mom is being called. Take charge now!
God bless you,

Yeah, I mean if the dad can keep the mom from killing the 9 year old them yeah, spanking would be good. It is about time to start to think about other punishments. I mean 10 is a little old I think so around 9 it's time to begin using other means to punish as well.

I would say grounding would definitely be better. No playtime for a weekend sounds about adequate. Or better yet, a spanking plus grounding. A spanking for that age is very embarasing for the child, and they won't want it to happen again!

No, i dont think spanking is a good thing. Time out and a lecture about the use of bad words and respect for a person's Mother.
