Of coarse it’s an effective form of discipline! Who wants to be hit? So if you don’t want to be hit DONT DO DUMB sh*t. It makes you think about things that your doing before you do them. If you know your going to get hit bad if you steal a candy bar most likely YOU won't DO IT, when it’s just a “go to your room” there’s nothing really bad about that and it’s something kids will not even think about if there’s no repercussions physically.
Thanks @LizzyHale for being so honest about your experiences. Answer the survey as well if you can.. You can copy and paste the questions from above into your reply!
Spanking doesn't have to be child abuse, jeez. It's a good form of discipline ONLY if your child doesn't listen to you when you use your words and have tried other methods. I'd never hit my future children but if they did something they shouldn't have even after being told time and time again not to, I think a spanking is in order. Spanking isn't the same thing as ACTUAL child abuse. It's only a slap on the ass, calm down.
Thanks @AnastasiaLane Answer the survey as well.. Just copy and paste the questions from above!!
Okay well I grew up in a home where all types of abuse were present. Therefore I don't believe in harming children. However a good swat on the butt is enough to let the child know what's appropriate behavior and what's not. You don't need to hit hard, or do it more than once. Just enough to startle the child. Most children will instantly cry even though it doesn't actually hurt. This is because they are shocked!!! However it also teaches them. So spanking is okay in my book, but not to excess.

Hey @randomwords not sure if you saw my message above? Would be useful to hear your advice on this. Send me a PM or follow me back on my profile and I'll message you back. Thx!
I used to get bare bottom spankings until my cousin moved in with us, then my mom stopped because she didn’t want him seeing my butt.
Thanks for being honest. Answer the survey though! Just copy and paste the questions from above, thanks!
Damn @PrincessProtection that really hits home to me, I was raised the exact same way. have you ever spoken to your parents about it since, to mention if you didn't approve of anything they did? Follow me back or private message me, would be great if we could just message separately too. thanks hun! xoxo

Personally, I deserved all the spanking I got from my parents when I did something deliberately hurtful or damaging. It happened only a few times. I never detested them for disciplining harshly to teach me or my brothers a lesson. They were right to do so. I will always appreciate their very good parenting. However, I would never allow anyone else (aside from my parents) to spank me. I'd kick them down to hell if they tried.
Thanks, answer the survey though! Just copy and paste the questions from above :)
1) sometimes
2) rarely
3) my momma and no I didn’t.
4) talking back obsessively, it was honestly just when I continually misbehaved
5) sometimes
6) just where I was standing.
7) I don’t remember
8) it hurt obviously
9) just the hand
10) depends
11) yeah pretty much cause it was really upsetting to me, not cause it was that painful
12) both I guess. And angry
13) who knows
14) time out, the usual
15) at times it’s necessary but some parents do cross the line
16) not really
17) yes I would.
Thanks for answering so honestly @princess_jenna , i actually really agree with most of your opinions. i was raised pretty much the same way. have you ever spoken to your parents about it since, to mention if you didn't approve of anything they did? Follow me back, would be great if we could just message separately too! thanks xoxo
1. Yes and no. Whilst I don't believe hitting your children is ever okay from personal experience I know it stopped me from repeating certain things however it also made me terrified of getting in trouble.
2. Fairly often.
3. Only my parents
4. Most things. I once closed a door too hard, barely a slam and that got me spanked.
5. Answer to question one.
6. Depended what they felt like at the time.
7. 12, I'd locked my bedroom because I wanted privacy (not for anything in particular I just didn't like people just walking into my room)
9. Mother it was just her hand. Dad varied between hand, shoe and belt.
10. Again whichever they felt like.
11. Yes.
12. Both, also felt shame and sadness that I'd upset them.
13. Because I was crying so hard I couldn't do anything else.
14. I'm not going into that.
15. See answer to question 1.
16. It led to me being afraid of upsetting people
17. I wouldn't do it.
hey, thanks for answering so honestly. i was raised pretty much the same way. have you ever spoken to your parents about it since you've been older to mention if you didn't approve of anything they did? 'Follow me' back or PM me, would be great if we could just message separately too. thanks xoxo
Not really, it may come up now that my sister has a son and if it does I'll speak against it but I know they did what they thought was effective and I can't go back and make them do it differently xx
It actually surprised me to hear it is legal in the US since it has not been legal where I am from since before I can remember. It became illegal in my country in 1993, so I could potentially have been spanked as a 4 year old, but my parents have always been against this and did not hit my older siblings either. They were also not spanked themself by their parents, but in school it was still legal when my dad was a kid and I heard awful stories about this.
I don't believe in spanking as a good form of discipline. Question 2 - Never got spanked. Question 4 - None since my parents don't hit us. To the rest of the questions can't answer , I wouldn't know because that's not the form of discipline my parents use.
1) Not at all
2) Never
3) My mom & dad and nope
4) /
5) /
6) /
7) /
8) /
9) /
10) /
11) /
12) /
13) /
14) Not really, they once took my books&sketchbook from me but that's it.
15) Nope I don't think that's needed at all.
16) /
17) No I wouldn't
1. No I don’t believe they’re affective
2. Rarely
3. Mom and dad
4. Only the really bad stuff
5. Yes it was effective
6. Spank while standing
7. Like 5 I think
8. Stung a little bit
9. No
10. Over clothes
11. No
12. No
13. I wouldn’t do it again
14. Time out
15. I don’t think it is necessary
16. No
17. Completely last resort I probably won’t ever do it
I was not spanked often when i was kid only when i was being a brat and my mom had no other choice, my dad would sometimes threathen me too but he actually never did, spanking did not really do anything to change what i was thinking to do and most of my friends would do more stuff because they got spanked and it made them more rebelious so i don't believe at all in spanking as a way of discipline.
1) yes
2) not often but it wasn't rare either
3) both parents, but mom more, yes
4) doing something dangerous or not listening after beeing told multiple times, being mean to someone
5) almost always
6) on the spot while you're standing
7) no idea
8 ) couldnt sit for 3 days from the bruises sometimes, more often it just stung for a few minutes
9) often with an object
10) both
11) no
12) just painful
13) i didn't do it anymore
14) grounding, phone, pc, mp3 restrictions... sleep deprivation sometimes, humiliation, treaths etc
15) as long as it doesn't leave bruises it doesn't even habe to be a last resort, a child will learn faster that something isn't good if you spank him once for it than explaining it for days, like said as long as it doesn't leave bruises it isn't abuse
16) spanking no, psysical & emotional abuse yes
17) yes i would spank them, control myself

14. Making me hug my sisters in a corner until we were quite or nice to each other for 20 minutes
16. I don't know
17. I don't know
I have never been spanked during my childhood. My parents used to yell at me, punish me or slap me when they thought I did something I shouldn't.
I don't believe that spanking is a good way to discipline your child.
I think it's a way to traumatize them, turn them into hateful people and make them hate their parents or anyone who is responsible for them.
To me, it's a form of abuse.
1- yeah but there's other effective forms of discipline 2- probably quite a bit and both of my parents and no 4- can't remember 5- yes 6- don't remember 7- not sure 8- most likely hurt lol 9- hand 10- probably both 11- yeah 12- painful 13- when I began cooperating 14- yelling 15- not really sure what my opinion on it is 16- my anger issues with my parents come have to do with something else 17- not so much spanking more like be verbal but watch what I say
1. Yes
2. Often
3. Mom And Dad
4. Lying, disobeying, sassy attitude, etc
5. Always

8. Like it was on fire lol
9. If it was really bad a wooden spoon
10. Over the clothes
11. No
12. Both of those plus mad
13. Because we got our crap together very quickly
14. They will ground us
15. It's not abuse. It's necessary.
16. No
17. Nope.
1. No my parents still failed at parenting me

15. Necessary discipline if it works
16. I was abused by them so I don't know if spanking has anything to do with my anger towards thrm
17. No
Okay, psychology has proven spanking kids literally does nothing but create unreasonably aggressive adults and that violence is okay. Also i was beaten so my accounts of "spankings" dont really count. "Spankings" for me was hard blows to face, being beaten with my own possessions and being starved.
I have never been spanked by my parents and will never spank my children. i can never use physical violence against any child, ever. it's an inefficient way of disciplinary action and we know for a fact that it can cause lasting psychological damage in kids.
I thinking light spanks are an effective way to discipline small children, when they aren't old enough to be reasoned with. Beyond that, and its a hell no. It affects your relationship and pushes them away.
Spaking is not right. You're parents may get triggered from anything... be alcoholic... etc. Do you like getting beaten up because you can't stand their bullshit and you talk back? Or just because they got annoyed over something small? That may be discipline to them and abuse and crazyness to you
