Does Sparing the Rod Really Spoil the Child? (Page 3)

[LittleSally]

Not always, but mostly YES.
You'd have to be a true marvel, a parenting genius to be able to raise your child as a polite, kind, nice, sweet, caring, well-mannered adult IF you spare the rod.

[Astoriana]

If the only way that a parent can discipline their child is through beating them, then they are terrible parents and should have their rights as parents taken away forever.

[Vesuvius87]

I agree with your you asker. I really see no point in trying to get your points across by basically forcing a child into submission through fear.

[DamnMan]

Me, my friends, older co workers and my relatives all got spankings. None of them have seen the inside of a jail cell, nor did drugs (heavily), or were on a pole.
They are all upstanding human beings, so it has it's place.

yep. you gotta hit them and at the same time you're hitting them tell them what they did wrong and let them know that they can't do that again. thats what my parents did to me and my brother. and they knew when we got to big and because of that we never got the chance to hit back because all of a sudden the spanking just stopped

[cth96190]

It has been my experience that there is not much wrong with the behaviour of any child that cannot be fixed by a flogging.

[Quinn79]

Parents who beat their kids should be charged with assault. What's the diff between beating a child and beating an adult?
That's right. None.

[depeche2015]

spanking your kid is okay sometimes but it could also make your kid resent you and make them scared of other people and cause mental health problems.

[naenaendr]

I think it's kind of abusive to use physical punishment, I would be more of a "time-out" f (for young children) or "give me your phone (for older children) kind of parent.

[Cosytoasty]

I look at the differences kids of my friends who are beaten and the ones who aren't... lets just say i'm going to be beating them.

[abundantlyrich]

No but he needs to be punished by some means which is : take away things they love or use a lot or make them do housework.

[serious]

Physically beating a kid is never right. That can of course induce fear but not respect.

[DinaM]

In my country, spanking is illegal. Far as I can tell, children here are no worse for it.

[zagor]

I've never smacked my nieces or nephews while watching them, though often kids behave better for others than for their parents.

[TacosRAwesome]

I'm not sure. My ex said his mum used to spank him. He and his brother were still spoiled little brats.

[Juxtapose]

If you have to resort to violence to discipline your children then you're a failure as a parent.

[kterbo]

Well said. And I was a nanny for ten years. Explaining and setting bounties do way more then hitting. Fear and violence only brings more of that.

[Juxtapose]

@kterbo Thank you! My parents never had to hit me or my sister but so many just don't get it.

[kterbo]

I understand. I get to see these kids grow up from 8 different families I worked with. All families set firm rules, and boundaries and they never hit. All they kids are growing up very well. It takes a good well adjusted parent to do this. Parents that hit kids are really miserable inside. There are so many other better ways.

thats the only moment that makes me want to go kill bill, i am going to kill anyone who chooses to physically hurt me and does not fixes it within 24+ hrs.

[Anonymous]

Spanking is child abuse.

[CaptainSmartass]

My brother and I never got smacked, but we were threatened with it. Just the embarrassment of it was enough to make us stop.

Simples...

I think it hurts self-esteem. If it's not too bad, you don't need it
