Spanking

What's your opinion on spanking a child? I can say for me that it made me a better person. I showed me the rules on the game. That there are positive and negative consequences to everything we do in life.

Now it does say in the bible that a good striking of the hand to a child is needed and is a good thing. You want your child to know what it is to respect folk. Now it didn't say punch your child in the face to get them to do what you said. I mean just good old fashion non-abusive discipline

i belive in the bible...of course! But however! spanking a child with a blunt object is very crul and brutal...but if you start at an early age(as walking) with smaking on the hand. your child will get the diffrence of "good" and "bad"! BUT DO YOU OTHER PARENTS EVER AS YOURSELVES "WHERE IS MY CHILD GETTING THIS BAD BEHAVIOR FROM?" and then track your own steps

[HaitianRNPhanie]

That's true, a lot of the bad things our children do come from traits and observation. Children are like sponges, they pick up on and copy everything. If we as parents present model behavior at all times, our child therefore will see and follow in our footsteps.

do you believe in taking down a child pants and beat their bare butt with a branch for a minute

[HaitianRNPhanie]

OMG no! I believe spanking to teach a lesson or as punishment. No to bruise and leave marks. That I wouldn't do. SMH

my little cousin Madison ran to the street

yesterday and my Anut Kim did not do anything

but put on her time out for five min and then she got up all happy started to play and i was like what the hell your child is like 6ys old she should konw by now not to run in the street, but if that was your child what would you do and say to Madison!!!

[HaitianRNPhanie]

That's the thing with time out. They stand there and their mind starts to wonder off, and give it 2 min and the whole reason for them being in the corner vanishes. Since she is 6, and knowing my heart would have jumped out of my chest if that were my child. My 1st reaction is a quick tap on the hands and an explination as to why. It's one thing to punish a child, but we also need to talk to them about the reason and/or danger behind their action.

[behemottka]

To change behavior we have to do several things that punishment cannot do: motivate children to do something different from what impulse or inclination suggests; ensure that they understand what that different and desirable behavior is and that it is open to them, and make sure that choosing to behave that way brings some reward. The slapped child is hurt, angry and humiliated. She knows she has done wrong but she doesn't know what she should have done instead and should do in the future.

i think it is violence and violence isn't the answer

[iammeiko28]

i agree a lil whack will not hurt & tha baby is cute climbed up huh

[UnschoolingEagle]

Part of the problem with African Americans and poverty, violence, and their youth is the lack of respect between older individuals and younger ones. The acceptance of hitting (which has been proven over and over again to be negative, anything positive is not from hitting, but from other areas in life) is quite disgusting and only serves to keep African Americans from reaching their true position in society. This has nothing to do with skin color, only culture. Caucasians do it too, not as much.

[TheWorldpics]

Proverbs 13:24 One who spares the rod hates his son, but one who loves him is careful to discipline him. A parent who doesn't spank a child when needed hates the child.
