Hi Stef how would you recommend a parent respond to a 13 year old child who is smoking pot? serious question, want to relay information to said parent.

Thank you very much for your time and for this information, I was already agains spanking , but know I have scientific prove that the my decision of raising my baby with time-out and not with spanking is for the best.

Thanks again, I wish that my mother would have seen this when I was a child.

WOW social misdirection at it's best! where did these studies originate and who verified? the world is flat.

Sorry, but the statistics presented in this video are straight false. %20 of high school seniors are still getting spanked? Bullshit.

There's a difference between spanking and hitting. Often you don't even need to spank hard enough to cause any physical discomfort. It's the sudden "What was that?!" effect that can usually deter a child from engaging in an undesired activity. I've always used it more as a tool to bring the child's focus in on what is expected, and what is inappropriate. What was the result? Great kids that are honest, kind, smart, popular, trust worthy and most of all WELL BEHAVED.

I was a spanker, one day I had an epiphany. I was spanking my son with a belt, I raised my arm to strike my child when the thought hit me. I saw this scene from a different paradigm. I realized if I walked in on another male doing this to my child, I would attack the adult. My heart sank, I threw the belt away, dropped to my knees, hugged my son, cried and promised never to do it again. I never struck any of my three kids every again. Parents please don't hurt your children PLEASE.

Hello,

First time posting about your videos... I gave it a thumbs down. Only because I you didn't give us a workable alternative (although you did allude to it). Don't get me wrong, you have me sold on the idea that spanking is illogical if one believes in the NAP, and I am very open to hear about the alternatives. So what do you have? Can you provide solid solutions that modify behavior? Links please?

the bottom line is that parents who spank do so because they they are stupid. this may sound like a childish way to argue but its true.

[gorillas400]

kool. the reason most people think spanking is acceptable is because most people dont remeber being a child

My biggest problem with this info is that it uses the same arguments that vegetarians use. I.E. that people who consume only plants are healthier than people who consume meat. On the face of it seems to support their point of view but when you consider a very select, educated group of people are the ones to choose a plant based diet while the 'meat eaters' consists of a large disparate group of people most of whom could care less about what they shove down their mouth. Not a good comparison.
