Spanking.....What Comes Out Of It?

Question

Do spankings make the person behave better or worse? HELP.....

Answer 1

A true spanking ALWAYS improves the behavior in the long term. When I say true spanking, I mean a loving parent spanking their child's behind for the purpose of correction, not anger or rage. People seem to always get those mixed up.

Answer 2

At first it makes the child feel scared of you, but then they will fight back and get angry. Spanking doesn't solve anything just makes it worse.

Answer 3

I don't smack mine we all have a right in this world to feel safe and secure so why would you especially to a child that is your own flesh and blood all it does is teach a wrong reaction which the child will pay for once they are adults by seeing this as the right way.

Answer 4

In general it's an effective form of discipline to have a child's behavior stopped very quickly. Also it can depend on the child as well not every discipline is going to be effective on every child as well.

Answer 5

PLEASE spank your child. i was spanked and I'm not emotionally scarred. your child needs to know that there will be consequences or his or her actions. why do you think we have so many problems these days with people?? no consequences!! don't leave any bruises and your OK. in fact my mother used to make me go get the paddle/switch. i wouldn't use a belt though, or a paddle made from a board...that's just too much.

Answer 6

it really does help. it s the only solution. time outs are too light and beating too much. SPANK SPANK SPAN11 SPANK THE WORRRRRRRRRRLD

Answer 7

it just teaches violence in my opinion. my sister spanks and it only seems to fuel the tantrums. besides, her son is only 4 and he doesnt care if he's spanked anymore. the only thing that seems to work now is putting him in his room, taking toys away and the corner.

Answer 8

Depends on the spank-er and the spank-ee. If you maybe give one or two moderate swats on a clothed behind that's a world away from beating a child on the bare backside with an implement.

For what it's worth my older son is 8. My husband and I realised very quickly that you could have spanked him from dusk till dawn (not that we ever did, I hasten to add!!!) and it would have made not one ounce of difference to his behaviour. Spanking just escalated any already tense situation with him and we found that other methods of discipline were far more effective.

His younger brother, on the other hand, has only ever been spanked (very lightly) about 3 times and now just the threat of a spank is enough to deter him from naughtiness.

I think spanking shouldn't be hard enough to really hurt, to me it's more about the fact that you're reinforcing your status as the person in charge. The fact that you can bat them on their butt just to remind them who's the boss. Most children act up when they have no strong authority figure in their life and their boundaries are not clearly defined. Too often nowadays parents want to be their childs' friend and are terrified that their kids may not like them. As far as I'm concerned I'm not around to be popular, my job is to guide and protect my children and help them make good choices in lfe.

My mother spanked me and my brother quite frequently as I recall and she's the most loving woman you could ever meet. It certainly didn't scar me or make me a violent adult.

Answer 9

Answer 10

They teach a person how to do what the stronger person says, in order to avoid being hurt by the stronger person if the stronger person catches them doing it.

Sometimes this creates habits that are useful. But, these habits could be taught in other ways, too.

After repeated conditioning, the person will start obeying the stronger person most of the time, in everything, to avoid punishment.
