I don’t believe in abuse but I do think when kids get out of hand they need to be spanked. Only as a last resort when nothing else works.
I want to see what your thoughts are on spanking children?

Wow this is a bad subject,but will soon have to be discussed.Well personally spanking to me is acceptable,ofcourse not abuse.But spanking is a way of discipline,and most children have an after effect when not disciplined as a child. They tend to disobey with force,knowing that the parent will not take action.It is totally in the parents control and choice to spank or not spank their child.
never u dont want ur kids to grow up thinking it right to do that and also there are other ways of punishing them that doesnt invovle spanking, like taking their phone away or no tv for a week.
i agree!
I would never spank my child unless I’ve done everything else first….
I say tell them or ask them nicely whatever it is that you need to , whether it be knock it off or clean your room , or whatever ..ONE time if they dont do it and you have to ask them again I say beat their asses. If we did more of that and less preotecting their little asses from the trouble they keep getting themseves into we wouldnt have most of the **** in the world that we do.
For some people smacking is the right choice, but for others it is not the right choice. But the smack should not be hard just very very very light, plus the person smacking should be calm etc.
i agree that some children need to get spanked… but there are limits… i believe in spankings and not beatings
Yes, if it is warranted. Some parents have unrealistic expectations of children and need some intervention (anybody remember that spanking episode on 60 minutes a couple of years ago?). On the other hand, some people get no clue that the time outs aren’t working.
i am 19 yrs old and i was spanked all through my childhood. well more so my brother that was ADHD but anyways i have more respect (like listening to my mother) than my 10 yr old little brother that has never gotten spanked a day in his life. he is a total brat and i tell him that im going to whip his *** every time i see him cause he is such a jerk! i definately believe that a child should have their asses busted when they misbehave! maybe then my generation wouldn’t be mindless arrogant assholes!
When a kid gets out of hand like seriously out of hand to the point where it is bothering other people in a public place or is just making your life a living hell they are no longer at the point where you can talk to them so there really is no other option but to give em a light smack on the butt.
I only believe it’s only okay when a child it too young to understand WHY what they’ve done is wrong.
And the parent must know when to stop.
Deprivation works better. Time outs are good as well
You see, if you take away something they like or want, kids will change their behavior to get it back. So, when they act up, take away TV, Video Games or something they like.
It really depends on the child. Some children I know will respond to a stern or disapproving look. Other children, perhaps kids that don’t think their parents are in charge, only respond to a firm swat on the behind. So, I would say, make a judgement call.
But make sure that you keep it to a minimum. There’s no reason to hit them 10 times or do it everyday. Make it a last resort instead of the primary source of punishment.
I believe that if you let a childs behavior get bad to the point where you have to spank them as a last resort, you weren’t really doing all that much to begin with… I do believe in spanking a child though. None of this ‘wait till I get a hold of a belt’ crap though… there is a proper way to go about it, not beating a child until it makes you feel better about the mistake you made of not correcting the behavior before it got that bad…
I believe spanking teaches a child the wrong lessons. Instead of learning about changing their behavior they learn that hitting (eg. a form of violence) is normal behavior. Children who are punished with physical harm will learn to fear their parent or worse, but this is not what I believe a child needs to learn. If a parent takes the time to teach the child proper behavior from the beginning they won’t reach “the last resort”.
