How were you disciplined as a child?

[Lucy68]

And if you had/have children how will you discipline them.

[bowenw]

I usually depended on the offence. It could be having TV time taken away or having to sit quietly. More serious things could result in a spanking.

[Cubus]

Nothing special. I believe just tv time

THE STICK!!
It was just a stick of wood about the same size a yard stick but slightly sturdier wood. If we did something bad or didn't listen to our parents, out came the stick and we'd get it across our ass a few times. After the first time or two, just the threat of it was usually enough. On tougher cases, they'd actually have to go get it out. On REALLY tough cases, they'd have to use it!!
Other ways were to make us sit in a chair for about 15 or 20 minutes. If they caught us playing with anything while in the chair, or getting out of the chair, they'd add another 5 or 10 minutes.
Or, we'd not be allowed to eat dinner (or, in some cases, dessert) and get sent to bed early.
Or, if there was something special that we were excited about getting to do or a trip we were looking forward to going on (even a trip to the store), they'd leave the bad kid behind.
Or, if there was something on t. v. wee really wanted to watch, we wouldn't be allowed to watch it.

I was disciplined with old school punishments, by that I mean beatings and emotional blackmailing. Even my parents regret that. But I almost turned out okay, except for constant fear of not meeting deadlines like world is ending, insecurities, indecisiveness, social awkwardness, overthinking and also BDSM stuff.

I would not discipline a child like that, I would try to listen more and wear them down with patience and pranks. Honestly, I would ask others around me for ideas, join classes.

I personally wasn't disciplined. My mom yelled occasionally and I feared her but not because she disciplined me. She just demanded respect and she got it from me. My brothers weren't so fortunate. They got a metal broom across their ass a few times for being absolute terrors who constantly disrespected her. We all turned out okay however.

As for my kids and discipline.. I mean, they get grounded sometimes but are otherwise good kids. Depends on what they've done to warrant discipline. I don't hit my kids. I have definitely yelled more than I should have. But there have only been a few times where they've ever done anything that was bad enough to warrant any sort of discipline and usually it's just being grounded for a week.

I wasn't disciplined. I was beaten & neglected.

How I'm going to discipline my children, I can't answer until I have them - the children I've fostered, I've used everything from rewards, consequences, dialog - structure, depending on need.

[Anemone978]

My dad used to hit us with his leather belt.. as I got older it started to be funny so he stopped doing that... he would hit me as hard as he could with his hand on my back... I also been chocked out twice it all just depended how angry he was... I wouldn't consider it abuse tho I was a bad kid especially to my dad I loved to make him angry LOL

As for me I hit my kids... I tried the talking to them and other bullshit but without fear they start to talk back and have an attitude.

[melanieeeB]

My father used beatings, insults and fear. Thankfully he was only in my life until I was around 6 years 🙏🏼

And my mom... when she was at home and not working, she would use silent treatment the most when she was angry with me as a punishment and discipline by taking away my pc when I hadn't had the best grades

[melanieeeB]

Oh with my little sis, that I raised, it's a very gentle parenting style that I have and since she is old enough also open communication and that one works very well for me and her. She is becoming a confident person and she is already learning to set boundaries and communicate her feelings and wishes

[Bethany22]

I was disciplined through priviledges getting taken away and guilt trip. If I had kids, I'd probably assume that the kids are too smart for guilt trip. I'd also try to provide the kids with options of priviledges getting taken away, so as to not make them feel powerless and secretly vengeful

[ShiftingMonke]

I was spanked for sure. Not for every offense, of course, but that was the ultimate kind. Later on, when I got older, I had to move heavy rocks from one pile to another.

I did spank my kids, but I don't need to now. They're old enough to know that option is there and they don't want to push it to that level.

[jennifer_bloom]

I was spanked as a child and given refusals when I made requests and when I was past age 8 I was no longer spanked but yelled at if I did something wrong. A refusal I remember was I was 5 and afraid of the dark and I told my mom to turn on the light and keep the bedroom door open while I slept since I wanted to know my parents were in the other room watching me and she told me I could not have both - either the bedroom door was closed or the light was turned off.

I would use my holy fathers belt to discipline them little bitchass kids if the room is messy I will turn this area into al-Qeada for some minutes and bring them kids the actual doom slayer. I was disciplined that way so I will discipline em that way. Also if I find out them doing anything haram then oh boi oh boi set the boxing ring for tonight and invite my lads

[WellGreetingsISay]

I was disciplined with support and was always given advice. Barely needed discipline and will do that for my kids too

[OfMiceandMen]

I usually had a curt talking to and any privileges were removed. No hanging out with friends or talking to anyone on the phone. So, somewhat of a grounding.

[Agape93]

I was made to go without eating. I didn't have a way to lock my door. I was yelled at by relatives.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

My folks used violence, which ain’t the answer. If my future children do something wrong, I’d explain to them why that’s wrong. Then they’d probably avoid doing it for moral reasons, not out of fear.

[nawtee_me]

I used a belt just like what was used on me... I did limit it to three hits at most...

[PeterLegg91]

Did you get hit hard with a belt?

[nawtee_me]

@PeterLegg91 absolutely I did. Back then it was just how things were.

[Guardian45]

My father loved spanking

[Anonymous]

With verbal, physical, emotional abuse

[eagle1951]
