I'm so glad someone finally shed light on this issue. Children are helpless and we need to protect and not spank them
Thank you for agreeing with me on this when so many others didn't!
Those are abusers of their own flesh and blood.
It's this kind of liberalism that breeds the pitiful generations of entitled little shits today.
Ex-fucking-actly.
yup, precisely... spoiled little shits don't have any fear of authority
@Prof_Don That is IF spoiled, not being hit=/= spoiled
I know I'm gonna get a lot of hate, but spanking can be good. It's good to spank, because the child learn that there are consequences in life. That you can't just do everything you want. But you don't wanna overdo it, that's just abuse
A child will always learn that there are consequences in life. That you can't just do everything you want. Spanking is NOT needed for that. Disciplining can better be done without violence.
How?
to be honest, it works pretty well around the world.
Ahmidouse321 How? Time outs, grounding, words.
@Ahmidouse321 "because the child learn that there are consequences in life."
Like girls feeling dad gets a boner while spanking them? :-P
I don't want to pay a coke to each girl who learned that. :-P
@jacquesvol Ok, let me say it like this. Imagine you have a son and he just calls you the worst dad in the world. "I hate you dad, you fucking asshole". Or what if you were a mom " Mom, you are a slut", etc. He keeps doing it even though you have talked with him about. He just don't care (he's a teen, right?). And you just slap him right in the face. Then he gets sad eyes and then he realized what he just did. Can you see what I mean. When you cross a line, you need to make sure they don't wanna do it again. But overdoing it, makes it to abuse. You see. I'm not saying you should spank a child, I'm just saying sometimes a child will cross a line so much, you just don't have a choice anymore?
@Ahmidouse321 No need to use violence : words or grounding a teen works too.
Couldn't your teachers destroy a big mouth using only words?
Can I spank an adult for being Naughty :3

We have had several questions on GAG about spanking as a punishment. Whenever I answer one, it is always to say that the need to spank shows a distinct lack of parenting skills. It is the EASY way out, because some parents are too damned lazy to explore other ways. They always come out with the old cliche that "It did not do me any harm".
So, spanking is NEVER the best answer.
Spanking should be a high level punishment, spanking a kid for forgetting to put a cup in the sink is excessive
No no no no you got it all wrong. Spanking is okay. Shit gets out of hand when you hear them screaming in pain and you just keep going.
Bring them up to discipline unless they grow up to hate you (assuming you went too far)
I was pushed and shoved as kid by my dad who was aggressive with me... My mum never touched me as she was physically beaten as kid and has raised me up to never do the same to my kids.
What my dad did to me has forced discipline into me however learning from him I will not use violence on my children there's always more effective methods for discipline
was spanked as a child, turned out fine.
if what i did was serious enough to warrant a spanking, you can bet your ass i never did it again.
while i don't believe that violence is a reasonable response to any situation, i think there are times when a swat on the rear end is warranted: not enough to actually hurt them, but enough that they think twice about repeating the behaviour.
Don't believe this at all. Somw kids need a spanking and need discipline to show them that they are out of line or being very disrespectful. When you take the more reasoning way with them, you let them walk all over and they know they can get away with shit because you choose the nice way with them. I say it's a good way to make kids know, you won't be walked all over. None of this nice way tactic bullshit.
I knew it was going to be a pathetic anonymous person. You have to be a millenial or worse. While I agree with the statement, I don't agree with the reasons. I grew up being spanked. It def creates discipline. But it also creates back talking kids (sometime) that need to learn how to behave.
I grew up being hit, whenever i did something my mom thought wasn´t right or if she was overwhelmed (single mom of 2), until i was 16 i couldn´t trust anyone nor did i stand up for myself and i had a severe depression. If that´s what it takes to "create discipline" (which can be archived with VARIOUS other methods that don´t include violence), i´d rather never have kids at all. The pain of being hit/abused is less of a problem then the Mental scarring i still have to this day.
@Tengjy sorry to hear that, your mom probably never had a structure to corporal punishment. Spontaneously hitting the kid out of the adult's own frustrations IS abuse.
Telling a kid that if he/she get in trouble in school for bullying again, that he/she is getting 20 swats with the belt... that is discipline.
@Prof_Don I see otherwise... please stop
@Prof_Don Well, that was the only punishment my mom had in stock for me, she didn't do it spontaneously, nonetheless abuse and i agree
No need to attempt to silence me because I disagree with you, OP. So unnecessary.
@Prof_Don and I just asked you to stop...
It's interesting how some people like to judge others based only on THEIR OWN experience. How about you walk a mile in the shoes of a parent with a very difficult and uncontrollable child and then report back to us.
Some parents raise children in a way they become that.
This take is based on science, not opinion.
@djvtech Spanking is based on opinion, not on science.
Spanking taught me to never do what I did ever again.
I don't think that spanking should be the first resort, though. There are far other ways to teach respect, discipline, and teaching consequences to actions.
When I was in elementary we would get SWATS.. and the board that was used had holes in it and was hung up by the door. We could choose a swat or right 250 times to STFU. Those were the good ol days.
I got spanked and slapped... never to establish ANY of the elements you've listed but to remind me i stepped out of line. A good slap to the face gets your ideas right.
I'm 23 and i was spanked and slapped as a child, I don't see the problem with it since I turned out fine and I will probably apply the same method of education should my child step out of line.
Yeeaahh no, if i have kids, i'll give them a little spank when they're being bad, I'm Latina, thats how most of us are raised, with good ole fashioned discipline and i turned out fine. I don't care about what people have to say about it, apparently everything is child or animal abuse in this day and age.
Hey I was spanked and I turned out fff.. I turned out ffii... I...

It's 100% okay to spank your children. I grew up getting spanked a lot and I still love my parents to death. I never saw it as abuse and never distrusted them. When a child steps out of line it is appropriate to spank them just grounding them and using soft words will not teach them anything. Spanking and physical abuse are two different things.

awww poor spoiled brat wants to rag on his parents and then when the mean bully girl tells him he's a piece of shit he can't take it. what kind of person gets in front of the whole world and tells everyone how much he hates the people who raised him? they gave you everything you are and you spit in their face. what a LOSER. i have no respect AT ALL for you @Unit1
do you even have a dick? cause you certainly have no balls if you can't handle a girl talking you down. @Unit1
Spaking shows kids that they can't be assholes.
The idea that spanking is wrong, is why there are so many entitled spoiled shit head snowflakes in society these days.
You can tell which kids haven't had a well-deserved ass-beating
Lots of adult assholes were spanked by their asshole dads.
@jacquesvol Just because you can make claim that some spanked kids can be assholes, does NOT stop the fact that non-disaplined kids grow up to be spoiled pricks
@Anonymous (25-29) Asshole parents breed asshole kids. Example is more important in education than beating kids up.
@jacquesvol Spoiled brats come from not having boundaries, never being told no, and never understanding right from wrong. "asshole parents" don't mean disciplinary parents. There are many passive aggressive parents who are assholes and on the other side speaking from experience... I was spanked (not abused), I learned to respect rules and my parents were some of the kindest and non-asshole type of people I have ever known. I discipline my children and my wife doesn't... and yet my children prefer me over her in all situations. They cuddle me more, they want to spend time with me more, etc. Children need and want boundries.
I was spanked as a child and I turned out just fine. Parents not spanking or disciplining their children is the reason why they're all bad now.
