It may be difficult or it may not be, but to be honest, I believe that if anyone can raise happy, healthy, genuinely caring kids definitely without physical punishment and even without any form of punishment, I can. I'm not going to go into parenting with a bad attitude. I'm not going to "demonize" my kids or view every mistake that they make as a deliberate attempt to hurt me or anyone.

I was spanked when growing up and if a child acts out to a point they're being a brat destroying shit, i don't see why parents shouldn't spank but not to the point it's a beating. I myself wouldn't spank my kid, tried it once, didn't feel right. instead I threaten to take shit, or do the count down. it works.every.time

@Crystal56287 honestly its retarded that parents should have to punish kids at all, brains of any animal are not made to reconize their parents hurting them as a natural consequence because thats not how the real world works! you dont see animals punishing their offspring do you? why is this? is it because children are smarter and think for themselves? no, its because animals allow their children to expierment with the world instead. this is coming from a 16 year old

Children should be disciplined and that is that! Not to the point of beating though.. But if kids aren't disciplined, than they will becoming spoiled brats and this is coming from a 15 yr old

I don't think this is because of spanking itself but in a closer study it likely would turn out to be the way their parent does it. Like, too often, too hard, for small offenses, without any reasoning and talking to first, or as the first resort. Those are unwise choices. Or even in public like the first drawer lampooed; Humiliation has nothing to do with love, so anyone who spanks their child in public is surely a bad parent. But not even nearly every parent is like these examples refered to.

I encourage you to stand up against violence. There are good organizations such as the American SPCC (in the USA) and the Kinderschutzbund (in Germany) which are dedicated to the protection of children. Visit their websites for further information. Thanks for refusing violence.

"spanking" or whatever name you ppl want to give it, is a sadistic practice performed by cowardly adults who are too lazy & inept to explain/demonstrate 'actions & consequences' to their children in a way they can understand.....
