Spanking

[jbean0]

Also, if you don't want to spank your children that is your business, if someone else wants to, that is theirs. There is a solid line between abusing, and spanking. Smacking their hand or butt is not going to ruin their tiny minds or turn them into violent adults. There are no such examples, an adult who has commited a violent crime cannot be simplified into "they were spanked as a child" or "they played too many violent video games". Who you are is the sum of your entire life experience.

It is a terrible disservice to your children to baby them as they grow up. They come to expect that the whole world is there to make them happy. The goal of raising children is to turn them into production adults and so many parents are loosing sight of that goal thinking their babys will be their babys forever. They will have increased depression/anxiety/stress and what have you if you don't give them an honest view of the world you will be setting them loose in.

Just because you spank your children doesn't mean you do it out of "giving up or reaching the breaking point'. Believe it or not there are people who feel smacking their childs butt is an effective to to teach a child. Kissing them on their nose after you place it in the corner of their room isn't going to curb their curiosity of the electrical sockets on the wall...or stop them from smacking and biting their sister.

i love how every person who is pro spanking gives some bs emotional appeal to fundamentalism. spare the rod spoil the child is not science or fact. any person who spanks a child can go fuck themselves.

We human beings have a terrible capacity for cruelty. Spanking should be for adult recreation only (akin to medieval reenactment pleasures). 'Reasonable' spankings is a theory that just doesn't stand up in practice. Life and people are too complicated and corruptible. I say set the highest standards possible because you can guarantee that normal practice will fall well below the bar, wherever it is set. Spanking is like a naked flame; its just too dangerous to have around the house.

I have never met a parent that did not spank their child and later regret it. because their children are always the most well behaved. so people stop lieing to yourself and trying to make yourself beleive that spanked kids are better behaved to make yourself feel better. because they are not !

Well, when I was a child my mother used to spank me almost everyday. With the hand, the belt, the woodenspoon and other implements. Now I am grown, she doesn't beat me anymore, but when my mother yells about something while I'm sleeping, I still wake up immediately and my heart begins to beat very fast. It's no respect, it's fear.

Pause button, deep breaths?? You gotta be kidding me. That's all this lady has to offer?? Wow! That may help the parent calm down, but meanwhile you have an ignorant (Yes), defiant (Yes) and self-absorbed (YES) child disobedient more than ever, and this woman wants to have an adult conversation with the child!?? Unbelievable. Don't beat your children, but remember, spare the rod and you will spoil the child.

[guidav123]

the idea that children need to be hit but adults dont is just obserd!

[UnschoolingEagle]

LoL the justification party going on here. You know husbands would do the same thing when they hit their wives? These two women commenting on this video are exactly why high schools need mandatory parenting classes that are needed to graduate. Spanking has no benefit at best and is usually detrimental. Educate yo selves fools! lol

[MzSkribble]

Excuse me? Did she say to leave the fucking room? hahahaha! leave the room in MY OWN damn house? And what message does that send to the children? That mommy can't handle it when the kids do something wrong? "Talk to the child?" This bitch is pissing me off! *going to a different video now*

This lady is full of it and I hate the way the interviewers says that parents spank when they "reach the breaking point." I spanked my 5 children because they needed it, not because I was oh-so angry with them. They were the most well-adjusted, happy, respectful children ever. I got nothing but compliments on my children. I'm a teacher now and I've never seen so many horrible, uncontrolable kids. Yes, there are other methods for the classroom, but I don't feel it is as effective.

[MzSkribble]

I completely agre, Jill.

Not spaking your children is exactly why these two diluted chics are going to be sitting in front of a therapist in a few years, complaining and crying about why their children don't respect them.

Dumb bitches, they are completely clueless. Kids need to get their asses beat i don't care what anyone says. When I have children I'm going definitely spank when necessary. Spare the rod, spoil the child.

[jillbert40]

I've never seen a child yet who is respectful and well-behaved who is not spanked. Whenever I hear I'm going to someones house and they don't believe in spankings, I know I'm in for a miserable evening and will want to tell the parents off and put a couple kids over my knee.

[WHParenting]

@jillbert40 There is a middle ground between over-powering children through force (spanking) and being passive. There are certainly families in which parents have chosen not to spank AND do not effectively discipline their children. There are also families in which parents use effective discipline, are respected and have children who respect themselves.

[WHParenting]

@MzSkribble There is a difference between fear and respect. You cannot beat a child into respecting you. You cannot teach compassion to children through spanking...only fear. If people needed spankings in order to learn a different way to do things, we would certainly live in an even more violent world.

[MzSkribble]

Um, I'm going to strongly disagree. You certainly CAN spank a child into respecting you. YOU CAN! It is the exact reason why you should begin spanking them when they are young. Of course the child will also fear the parent who is spanking them, and that is the way IT SHOULD BE. I was scared as hell of my mother which is why I RARELY disrespected her, and I did not love her any less than children who never got spanked by their parents.

[MzSkribble]

And as far as a "more violent world" goes, lady look around you. Turn on the news, or more importantly look right into our own fake government. I think we've reached the height of violence in this country, however these facts are neither here nor there. If you do not spank your children you will regret it... you will come to resent their bad asses, and feel as though you've failed as a mother. (Not to mention, everyone whom you bring them around will resent them too.)

[jillbert40]

high five!

[jillbert40]

You do realize that pretty much everybody spanked their kids in the old days....don't you? And you do realize that children did not disrespect their parents back then the way they do now....don't you? Let's look at the hard facts lady. Not some wishy washy dream world you seem to be conjuring up.
