Search Results: spanking a child

As you can see from the image above, Baumrind's four parenting styles can be broken down as follows:

Authoritarian - a restrictive, punishment-heavy parenting style in which parents make their children follow their directions with little to no explanation or feedback and focus on the child's and family's perception and status. Corporal punishment, such as spanking, and shouting are forms of discipline frequently preferred by authoritarian parents.

Permissive - try to be "friends" with their child, and do not play a parental role. The expectations of the child are very low, and there is little discipline. Permissive parents also allow children to make their own decisions, giving them advice as a friend would. This type of parenting is very lax, with few punishments or rules. Tend to give their children whatever they want and hope that they are appreciated for their accommodating style.

Rejecting-Neglecting - do not set limits or monitor their behavior and are unsupportive of them. Parents are often focused on their own needs over their child’s.

Authoritative - characterized by a child-centered approach that holds high expectations of maturity. Authoritative parents can understand how their children are feeling and teach them how to regulate their feelings. Even with high expectations of maturity, authoritative parents are usually forgiving of any possible shortcomings. They often help their children to find appropriate outlets to solve problems. Authoritative parents encourage children to be independent but still place limits on their actions.

How did your parent's parenting style effect you growing up and now that you are an adult? If you are a parent, which style do you tend to use?

You always know a parent doesn't discipline their child by the way the kid answers back, makes demands, disrespect, screams abuse and uses foul language in public

Have you guys ever seen the slap tv series or trailer? seriously watch it if you want a good laugh. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Rq49v4oJvcE it's about an uncle who slapped his nephew because he was actin a fool and would not listen to his parents. I thought it was pretty fucking hilarious they made it seem like he just committed murder 😅. anyways I think spanking is a much more effective form of punishment, you need to fear and respect your parents.

I'll elaborate if you want but I want to hear your opinions. sidenote im sure this will trigger a few people.

PLEASE READ BEFORE VOTING:

I have recently found a poll on here that asked the same question, and had some interesting results. What i was surprised to find was, Men were very likely to say boys should be spanked but girls shouldn't. While Women were more likely to say girls should be spanked but boys shouldn't.

I simply wanted to ask this question again to see if i can get the same results, and wanted to see how people feel about this. I'm not nearly as interested in the actual debate itself. What I'm interested in is why so many people only support spanking their own gender.

Unfortunately I am only Level 1 and can not include the link in my post due to the websites rules.

Please post why you feel this way, as I'm very curious as to why this is the case. I understand why Men may feel this way, due to chivalry, and a "protective nature" (this is just my first thought at least). But i don't know why Women feel this way. Any thoughts? Thanks.
