Do you think that children should get whooped if they act up bad?

Question

virtue2332 · Accepted Answer

Only of they can whip you if they do something good. Nah but I all seriousness I was whipped when I was younger and then my parents saw the light and decided to not whip me again after someone noticed a mark and it became an issue. So they switched to grounding me and taking away privileges. I would beg them to just hit me and get it over with because that shit was way easier than being grounded. If I think back I wasn't always bad and what motivated me to do good and stay on the right track wasn't the fear of being hit or being grounded it was more the reward of my parents praise and appreciation when I did good. I think it's easy to notice and intervene when our kids do something bad but we fail to give them the recognition when they do well. It's the recognition and understanding that they will make mistakes but giving them the support and love of knowing your on their side and will guide them is what will be what's best for them in the long run. I had this board with my daughter and I had a bunch of coins I made on a printer. When she did well or did a good deed I would reward her and she could put it on the board to cover spots on the board. When the board was full she got to got a reward we had discussed and agreed on. She did well and was motivated to do good and it was fun. One day she didn't share with a cousin that was staying the week with us so I told her in front of everyone to take 5 coins off as her punishment. Didn't go over well at all she handed me them with attitude so I said ok 5 more coins. She walked over to the chart and just angrily swipped all of them off the board. My do good girl turned to the bad side for the next couple of days. I had a perfect kid for months now I had a moody kid that was upset and for one small issue. I thought about it and I would be mad to if I did good at work all week and made one error and the boss decided dock my pay for the whole week. So we sat down and discussed it as well as you can with a 5 yo. Explained we were both wrong let her know I love her and told her I would put the coins back and if she shared with her cousin I would give her some bonus coins. Back to the good side she went. So I came to conclusion that rewards work better than punishments when it comes to motivating because punishments can get them to a point of just not really caring and it pushes you and your child's relationship further away than closer

Not with a belt or any other implement. I have no issues with smacking with an open hand on the bottom or other fleshy parts of the body. No fist's and not to any excess.

CrazyGirl2 · Accepted Answer

No! I believe that beating children is a sad and unnecessary part of our past, much like child labor! Nobody would ever argue that children should be crawling under moving heavy machinery again, that could crush them at any second! I’m why bring up beating? Certainly a light tap on their hand when they are 1 or 2yrs old. Because they don’t understanding that language yet to a point where they understand what is going on, but a “NO!” Followed by a light tap… That definitely makes your point! But once children reach 3 or 4 there is absolutely no need to HIT children, if they got you so mad that you want to hit them… YOU FAILED, Not the child!

Cherry234 · Accepted Answer

Light spanking or a light slapping of the hands is okay in my opinion but beating up children is not okay. There's a difference between the two. However, these measures should be taken as a last resort (when children refuse to listen).

Billlewis · Answer

Although I'm sure that virtually all of the responses will be 'No', in places where this is still practiced, there is a lot less crime and misbehavior.

SinceYouAsked · Answer

My parents spanked me when I was a kid. And, yes, my dad used a belt on me once and a switch that he cut from a tree once (so it was green). He kicked me in the ass a time or two, also. And I will tell you that it definitely reinforces right from wrong. You get a good whipping and I guarantee you, you will NOT repeat the infraction again. That's the whole point. To deter you from repeating bad behavior. It also reinforced that my dad was in charge. You did not question him; you did what he told you to do. You respected his authority and the authority of others. (Any relative or other adult in charge of you was to be obeyed, as well, and was authorized to administer any punishment deemed appropriate.) You respected the rules.
Further, there was corporal punishment in school. They could use a paddle, a yardstick or their hands. The Vice Principle in our Junior High had a finely crafted paddle made from hardwood, with small holes drilled in it to reduce wind resistance. And you definitely did not go home and complain to your parents because you'd get a worse whipping from them for misbehaving, breaking the rules and making them look like bad parents in the bargain.
And, yes, I spanked my kids when they were growing up. I wasn't their buddy; I wasn't their friend; I was their father. And they were expected to do as they were told and behave. I don't recall using a belt on them and I know I didn't use a switch. I may have administered a swift kick to the backside once. There was one time when I had to go to school to hear a teacher tell me how my oldest son (in high school) was doing poorly in class and not performing up to his abilities. I resisted physical punishment. But in my 'discussion' with him, I put a dent in the roof of the car with my fist. He got the point and it was no longer an issue.
This has turned out to be a rather long post. But my point is this. Yes, I believe in physical punishment. I don't think it's abuse. I don't think you can reason with kids like adults. (Hell, you can't reason with some adults like adults.) I think they turn out to be better adults. And I think that babying children, putting them in 'time out' or coddling them has resulted in a generation of whimps and cry-babies, some of whom are still poorly behaved. I don't have time for those people.
Don't like that? Too bad. Nothing you can say will change my mind or make me feel bad about how I feel on the subject.

Realistic07 · Answer

Hitting children doesn’t teach them anything except to fear life, and others.

It’s frustrating dealing with kids it’s difficult to such a ridiculous extent but violence will never teach a child how to be a good adult. Furthermore children are not adults, and far too often are treated as if they should be or as if they should know better when in reality they shouldn’t; because they’re kids.

Hitting is lazy parenting it’s someone not handling the situation in the appropriate way to such an extent that they feel using violence will solve the problem when in reality all it does is creates other issues and problems down the line.

If people want children to understand the reality of their actions then maybe people should just take more of an effort to actually teach their children what cause-and-effect is, what it is when things go wrong and why they have gone wrong.

We often forget that people, and children especially are like mirrors. They will repeat the actions that not only happen to them, but the actions that they witness for the sake of understanding. In doing so habits form, and sometimes more than not habits become a part of who we are. It’s for children it’s that much more important to know that anything that we do as adults will be replicated by the children who View or Are subject to them.

Violence is no way to raise children.

That is my two cents in the matter hopefully bring some sort of understanding.

zeitgeist057 · Answer

Hitting children, including disciplinary "controlled spankings" has been shown to damage them for life in terms of cognitive and social development.

Article from Harvard University "Perhaps surprisingly, says Cuartas, spanking elicits a similar response in children’s brains to more threatening experiences like sexual abuse." - so yeah, if you think sexually abusing your kids is a good idea when they are acting up, go right ahead.

Article from American Psych Association "“It’s a very controversial area even though the research is extremely telling and very clear and consistent about the negative effects on children,” says Sandra Graham-Bermann, PhD" - mostly because people think being parents makes them experts. "I had sex, so I know what's good for children."

"Many studies have shown that physical punishment — including spanking, hitting and other means of causing pain — can lead to increased aggression, antisocial behavior, physical injury and mental health problems for children."

ohshee · Answer

Kids are born a blank slate they learn from their parents whether it's positive or negative if their parents yell and scream all the time that's how the kids are going to act you don't listen to your words they watching a pet since you how you act around your friends your body language you're smart assness how are you talk to people if you lie to people they pick up on that they become you because that's all they know there's nobody else around them teaching them anything you do not have to touch your kid to discipline first of all you don't discipline and you don't take away things you give them more responsibility

From 5 to 10 years old I used to get beat with a belt and I mean literally Pete and then the guy would say that he loved me that's not love that's making it all about himself you can't teach Somebody anyting by getting a whooping that lowers self-esteem that teaches kids if you want something or if you want your your way are you think that somebody's doing something wrong hit the person you don't do that I raise my kids without yelling one time to him without spanking in without hitting him all I would have to do is look at him and say pssst. He could hear that from around the block is very quiet but he would walk up to me when I would do that and eat say yes Dad and I would explain to him why he doesn't jump on people's furniture or destroy people's property bye run to the bushes are whatever it might have been it was very quick and to the point and I see do you understand and he would say yes and I would say okay you guys go play have fun just pay attention to what you're doing and that's all it would take

Anonymous · Answer

I was beat my parents. Always resorted to violence. And my parents wonder why I always resort to violence. You teach by example and you deserve what you get. Both my parents are deluded. There are other ways of teaching children. We should make it mandatory for parents to take child psychology courses prior to breeding. It is absolutely not ok letting people who have no experience breed like this. Stop letting retards breed. The biggest problem with the world is the fucking boomers. They led by example with their shit parenting and this is why we have such shit parenting today. And people always wonder why. Boomers just about ruined everything for us newer generations. They started a cancerous cycle. When a child shoots up a school they look at it with a surprised pikachu face. Most don’t even know what bullying is. From experience of seeing other parents, they might just say get over it and keep going with life. If you have anxiety, the boomers will tell you to deal with it. They don’t realize anything til they lose their child. It’s a fascinating cycle to study really. You’d think these fucking moronic boomers would learn and take a different approach. If you challenge them they will think that just because they came to this world earlier than you did, that they have all the experience in the world and know what they’re doing. They’re so hopeless so it’s best to just laugh at them 🤣.

HighlyVolatile · Answer

The way I liked best when I was a kid and what worked best to inspire me to behave was being required to do difficult activities as a punishment like carrying buckets filled with water with my arms outstretched, being required to run many laps around schools, push-ups on our knuckles, do chores in the house, etc. Then after completing my punishment, the adults would pat me on the back and let me join and play once more and that made me feel proud for completing my punishment and also made me want to be good.

I prefer that way now. It's militaristic but doesn't involve any violence. When it came to violent forms of corporal punishment (which I received a lot from my mother with the belt), only made me think that adults are sadistic and cruel and it made me become increasingly defiant. By the time I outgrew my mother and she pulled out the belt in anger, I grabbed it out of her hand and she didn't know what to do and so I basically grounded myself.

shaysh87 · Answer

I think its just an American / western cultural thing where hitting as a form of discipline is wrong. If you take a look at vast majority of other countries all throughout history, physical punishment had always been used as a way of disciplining children for thousands of years. Its only been over the past 2 or 3 decades where its no longer used. My parents were raised being physically disciplined by their teachers. I was raised physically disciplined by my parents. And no, I'm not crazy, insane or suffer from mental health issues.

queenkilldozer · Answer

I believe that there are so many different ways to parent and no correct way. When I seriously acted up as a child I got my butt swatted two to three times with a belt. I don't think it did any damage whatsoever and it did make me mind. Every child is different however and what works for one may not work for the other. My little brother used to get whooped all the time and it didn't change his behavior a bit. There is no parenting manual and as long as you are not causing lasting damage to the child I think parents should be left to make that choice for themselves. The problem nowadays however is everybody thinks they know best and everybody wants to get involved when it's none of their business. I remember getting my butt swatted in Walmart when I was throwing a fit. If you did that nowadays somebody would call DCFS on you simply for disciplining your child. It's just ridiculous how much things have changed.

dustybiker · Answer

If a person has to physically abuse a child to get through to them, they are the one out of control. They waited too long. Guidance of right and wrong starts well before the age they start to rebel. Frustration, on both sides then comes to this. Kids who already know right from wrong, from babies, don’t act up. They already know there are boundaries and consequences to actions, with follow through, every time.
(And I am only talking early age verbal warning. Second attempt, removal and distraction. It sets foundation.)

WonderBell99 · Answer

Well, whenever I disrespect my mother, she smacks me with my dad's belt, the TV remote and sometimes even her slippers.

There are better ways to handle your kids. If parents hit their child, the child will develop trust issues and won't feel like opening up to the parent. Also, the kid may start rebelling and it will only make things worse. They may start hiding things from you, sneaking out etc.

I don't have kids, so I cannot say that I'd never do that.. because I may, if my child starts acting up but I would never beat them to the extent that my mother did to me.

Williams28Jao · Answer

Of course! I got my butt spanked multiple of times for disbehaving. It’s not like your striking down you child with the power of zues! Your literally teaching them discipline. You would rather your child do things in society and give them what they want when they cry and complain? Then you’ll raise a child who thinks the world is theirs and theirs alone. They will say my parents always got me everything so should you. That’s why discipline. Its a thing to teach them they ain’t nothing above another person and they are consequences for every choice your child does. Your not committing child abuse it’s strictly discipline. I love my parents to this day and I have no grudges against them. Everyone who is a parent and didn’t spank their children are the ones that will teach their children it’s ok it’s not your fault or my child would never do such a thing, your a liar my child is an angel, blah blah blah
your a bad parent straight to the point and letting your kid do whatever they want

artstatues · Answer

Without a doubt, it shouldn't be used on anyone, it is a horrendous method of punishment. If your child need to be disciplined, wait until you have all calmed down and sit them down and in a calm way explain to them, what they did is wrong and offer them alternative ways of dealing with things. If you lash out to your child, you are teaching them that violence is the answer. It is not and never has been.
Studies also show that children who experience repeated use of corporal punishment tend to develop more aggressive behaviors, increased aggression in school, and an increased risk of mental health disorders and cognitive problem

Telekinetic-Potato · Answer

Not anymore it made sense for my parents, it made sense for me and my brother. But when I have kids, I don't think I'm going to hit them and if I do, it would almost exclusively be because I don't want them to be intimidated by people who threaten them with violence in the future.

I don't think the world we live in is a place where that mentality works anymore. Kids complain in class, they are taken very seriously when they leave the house. Probably more seriously than their parents at their jobs. And because of how culture in this country is now, I don't think hitting your kids has the same psychological effect on a kid that it did 20+ years ago. It's a much deeper cut for them and they're traumatized by it.

libsaretards · Answer

Depends on the issue and the child. The punishment needs to be proportionate to the behavior. If a child runs into traffic that is ass-whooping worthy because an ass-whooping is a physically painful punishment for a behavior that can cause physical harm. If the child says something bad maybe a time-out/grounding is sufficient. Whoop a child too much and they will grow immune to it. The punishment must also be something the child cares about and has an affect on them. If the punishment does not phase them they will not care and continue the bad behavior.

jshm2 · Answer

To be honest, few kids deserve it.

Most just need proper instruction on their level, and a backup for when they forget.

Think of it like you're making something first time, with no prior instruction, from something you're watching on a TV in another language at the other side of a room.

That's how it is for most kids. they don't know their minds, bodies, consequences, expectations, laws and everything else. The poor sods are usually being directed by adults who have their shit together less than they do.

It's why I am for adult education

TransAm85 · Answer

I used to get spanked w/a metal stew spoon! My grandma would use her belts! It taught me manners and respect I suppose.. kids today lack a lot of that. I notice my in laws here like to just shove their kids away w/the phones or Ipads if they're bothering them. My mom or grandma would've spanked me and told me to go sit my ass down!

genericname85 · Answer

i think that in a socialization toolkit, an "ass whooping" should not be missing. that doesn't mean that you ever have to use that tool, depending on how well the other tools work for you. but it doesn't mean this tool should be missing from the kit.

like if you need to put a nail in the wall one day, you're not gonna take the pliers. you're not gonna take the screwdriver. you'll take the hammer... but maybe you don't need a single nail in your house :D hope that analogy makes sense.

Ccheeto99 · Answer

tbh Some kids really do need spankings, I don’t think parents should whip their children with belts but I think like a stick to the palms of the Hands stings enough to straighten you out. Some kids don’t listen to you when you try to reason with them, their reasoning is already not on par with how an adult reasons. Discipline definitely varies depending on each kid tho.,

Squaresquirrel · Answer

Yes. Nothing comes from not slapping them. Since in the name of love, you don't give them a well-timed smack, just look around. People went crazy. Go on tiktok. People are entitled little pricks with no consideration for others.
I would say yes in that rare case when the parents actually know how to raise children. Then time out works. Looking around me, that's incredibly rare.

Daniela1982 · Answer

Depends on how badly they are acting. Some say "Spare the rod, spoil the child." But the Lord says: "
Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them.” – Proverbs 13:24 I'm not sure "Whopping" them is what he had in mind though.

Do you think that children should get whooped if they act up bad?

NamerOfStars · Answer

I don't have kids, so it'd be disingenuous of me to say "I'd never do that", but it's certainly not something I'd do quickly or easily. Kids learn from what they experience, and trying to reason with them will get much better results than normalizing violence.

Anonymous · Answer

I understand about being firm with kids but hitting them is wrong. If it scars then emotionally I don’t want a bozo on here to say “whatever dude they need tough love”. To those idiots who think hitting kids builds them and toughens them up just remember, day you will get old. One day you may need your kids to take care of you. When the roles are reversed I guess it’s ok for the kids who are now adults to hit their parents who are now seniors to toughen them up. It’s the stupidest logic to have for kids.

I don’t respect people who do that, I don’t condone those actions. It’s important as a parent the child sees their parent working hard, cleaning, cooking, doing drinking, not doing drugs, not yelling at the spouse or others, treating others kindly, showing love and affection. You provide that environment for kids they will grow up properly appreciating their parents.

crossdressingrihno · Answer

Honestly I wouldn't
There's better forms of punishment out there like taking things away or giving them chores

Exercises another good one like for each time they curse they have to do 10 push-ups

Things like that because then they're less likely to hate you and they learn skills or get healthier with their punishment things like that I think is better and only that but they still hate doing it so still works

LilMamafwademon · Answer

No I don't only because 7/10 times nobody told that child that what they are doing or how they are behaving isn't appropriate and there should be a conversation between the child and the parent (s) on why the behavior is appropriate, what can replace the behavior, and letting the child know if there does happen to have a repeat of the incident that there will be consequences following the behavior , but there will also be a small reward to not doing it, ending the conversation with no misunderstandings. The child is a human and should be treated like how you would treat an adult so the grow up to being a matured adult. There is no reason whatsoever on any circumstances that a grown woman or man should EVER put a hand on a child to harm them in any way shape or form. No situations are excluding that also.

Gigi2019 · Answer

I think striking children is the last resort of uninvolved parenting. Your children should be taught to respect you, love you, die for you (figuratively), and fear your authority beginning when they are very young. Striking children is not necessary to control their behavior. There are rare exceptions, but, young people will usually turn out the way they've been raised and through the consistent examples you and your spouse set.

HorseMolesta · Answer

no I don't think so, it will probably give them low self esteem, and as someone who's lived my whole life with no self esteem... It's not a good way to live... Might aswell be dead since you're so restricted from the freedom of lifeIf I ever had a kids I would show nothing but love.. they wouldn't wanna behave badly because they would respect me... The only reason I was so naughty is cos I hated my mum and didn't respect her... So every time she shouted at me it just made me behave worse and made my self esteem worse

LaFemmeFatale_1 · Answer

Nope.

My mom thought that was a solution, and temporarily- yes, I was a good kid, but I am the most undisciplined person in the world, always break the rules and hate doing things by rules, once I am not beaten anymore 🤣

So no, that’s not a solution for teaching kids about discipline.

These things must be encouraged not forced, once you start forcing them things by violence, kids will keep going back to their old ways, when there’s no force anymore.

Genie23 · Answer

There are always better ways to handle kids when they're acting difficult. Hitting a child might make the child stop acting that way in front of you and will not say/do things which they shouldn't but it doesn't mean that they'll stop. It just means they won't do it when you're around and they'll hide everything they do which they know you won't approve and if you keep hitting them, it will only make them drift away from you and develop resentment towards you.

John_Doesnt · Answer

It doesn't end well when the kids grow up. The people who say "I turned out all right" are usually the most messed up people. The kids who are whooped usually grow up as wife beaters or the daughters will grow up thinking it's okay for a man to hit them so they wind up in an abusive relationship because they don't know any better.
It's also lazy parenting. Hitting someone is a lot easier than sitting down and explaining why their actions are wrong.

sheikalana · Answer

I believe that parents should sit with their children and make them understand that what they did was wrong by having a serious conversation with them. Kids need to learn what the consequences of doing those things are. I don't believe in spanking or anything like that I believe in grounding them like no video games for x amount of days or no watching TV for x amount of days.

"Whooped" suggests a plan and the use of an object. No.

My toddler boy made a break for it in a Walmart when I briefly stopped holding his hand. Panicking, I ran straight to the entrance and, sure enough, he arrived just after I did. He had just earned a solid whack on his diapered little ass.

SomeGuyCalledTom · Answer

No but I think you can "whoop" them with your words and demeanor so they get that negative reinforcement for misbehaving. I don't mean to the point where you're just psychologically tearing them down. But if a kid is acting shitty, you should respond in a way that drives home the message that they need to stop being shitty.

Anonymous · Answer

I think you should approach parenting with the intention of using words to resolve situatons.

That said I have met more than a couple of trolling teens that you just can't reason with so your choice becomes to whoop them or allow them to be the boss. I would certainly like to think that someone is whooping their ass.

Baylist1000 · Answer

No, they shouldn't. It gives them depression and anxiety. When kids are young they don't know anything so they have to be told properly. It's the parents who don't know how to raise kids. And they end up by beating the kid thinking it works. F*****g morons

GlassTop · Answer

Discipline is good. The problem is a lot of parents would BEAT their children. Some people just shouldn’t be parents. Parents should NEVER be “friends” with their children. The lack of discipline and befriending children is why so many people are screwed up today. And each generation is getting worse. Parenting requires a lot, and most people aren’t cut out for the job.

DiegoO · Answer

I never was an advocate of beating a kid with a belt. I wasz though, a supporter of spanking. Now that I've reflect about it, I don't think physical violence benefit in any way the behavior of a kid. It only teach them fear, it teach them to justify violence. Only that. It doesn't actually teach anything related to limits you shouldn't cross, or morality. Therefore, is ineffective.

Little is exposed about psychological violence (which can develop alone, without physical violence).

CuriousMufuxka · Answer

Yes and no. I'll put it into 3 categories. First are kids that are so well behaved that they actually punish themselves after fucking up. 2nd would be little bastards that could use an ass whoopin (I was one) to straighten them out. Finally 3rd is the ones that end up killing their parents or were prison bound anyway, that shit only intensifies the anger!

spiralshape · Answer

Like with all things in life, it depends. Personally, I don't like the idea and won't hit my children because I see them as humans equal to fellow adults. But if other parents want to discipline or punish their kids differently, fine with me, so long as they don't drag them or whip them with excessively strong items (like a belt or a sandal).

Agape93 · Answer

Yeap absolutely.  Everyone I've seen with a kid that doesn't get disciplined like that has turned out to be a massive entitled, arrogant brat. No exceptions.

whosnumber1 · Answer

if you, being an adult, have to resort to beating children in order to get your point across you shouldn't be a parent, guardian or educator. children do not understand physical violence. if I ever caught someone giving the belt to a kid I would loose my mind and beat them senseless with the buckle myself. Pulp Fiction style.

Apulu_3 · Answer

Depends on how bad but most likely no. It's better to give them difficult chores to do rather than beating them. My mom threatened me to whoop me with a stick but never did it. Threatening works well and difficult chores as punishment too.

altdbob · Answer

That depends on your definition of "whooped".

If you are talking about a spanking, then yes, I could agree depending on the circumstances.

If you are talking about a beating then NO. Children should never be beat, disciplined yes beating no.

It also depends on the child's age.
