Spanking Of Childrens

This topic has raised so much dispute I feel like spanking everything.

I hope nobody here would object to spanking your partner under various circumstances ^_~

Honestly it would be easier to just punch her in the face, same thing right?

Spousal abuse, child abuse... same diff.

That's domestic abuse and should be reported to your local law enforcement officer.

bah you're just saying that 'cause you wanna get spanked.
;)

Someone should nuke this thread before Raen comes demanding mithra *** to spank~

Want to, or will be?

:o

muahaha

I have probably said this before but read 1984...

All people, children included, have something they find intollerable. Your goal as a parent is to find and exploit that pressure point to mold your child into an obedient, subserviant young gentleman/lady in public. Sometimes it's the time out corner, sometimes it's a spank on the butt. No matter what it is, you will know when you find it when the mere threat of it straightens the kid right out.

If you find yourself repeating any disiplinary action more than once a week you need to try something else.

You can always tell the stupid parents with no understanding of this concept. Their kids are the ones on leashes in the mall throwing the temper tantrum under the clothes rack. Thier kids always have that feral glint in their eye.

^Dr.Nick has my support, best argument we'll see on here.
Situational is situational and there isn't one fix-all technique when it comes to child-rearing regardless as to what the thousands of books on Amazon.com tell you or how Grandma got your mom to "behave" back in the day.

I wish I had a nickel for every parent that looked at me like I was crazy when I told them to try a different disipline technique until they found one that works. The thought never crosses most people's minds they just repeat whatever was used (often ineffectively) on them. If that doesn't work alot of them just shrug their shoulders and give up.

Insanity is repeating the same action over and over and over and over and over and expecting a different result.

BHAHAHAHAHH, W T F !!!

Find through trial and error I suppose I should have said. If the punishment doesn't work (and by work I mean immediately change the kid's behavior) it's never going too. One of my kids hated the time out corner, I rarely ever actually put him in it, just the mere mention of it and he would go all too pieces and immediately correct the unwanted behavior. You could spank him all day long and he would never change his what he was doing.

Spanking teaches that violence is a way to solve a conflict. It's why so many adults continue to think it's a proper solution for any kind of dispute.

So yeah, spanking works for that...

Unfortunately, by the time abused kids get to school age, so much damage has been done that everyone suffers. Kids don't have to be physically abused to have behavioral issues. Verbal/mental- emotional/ sexual abuse can cause as much damage or more than physical abuse. It can also contribute to a wide range of reactions to what seems like a simple thing to us, but is a terrifying trigger to them.

I am also bothered that the word of a child is taken over the word of an adult, but there are also arrest after arrest of educators that are behaving in improper ways. For the longest time children were ignored so it seems things have swung in the opposite direction. Unless the teacher has several reliable students to back them up, educator abuse will continue.

Pretty soon all classrooms are going to have camera's or a Teacher's assistant in order to check and protect the staff from inaccurate accusations. I don't know, with the popularity of online education maybe everyone will be schooled at home within the next 20 years.

that clip is just plain disturbing!!!!!

Not really, kids aren't that smart. For kids whose behavior it doesn't change immediately, spanking becomes a mere formality, a momentary interuption in their daily lives. It doesn't teach them anything other than the spanker is a moron.

So what do you do when you've politely asked your child to stop doing whatever it is they deserve reprimanded for? Keep asking? I'm genuinely curious, not trying to be sarcastic.

Spanking works for some, but it didn't work for you. Whatever method you found that works, keep going with that.

Some kids are afraid of the dark, for some kids its isolation, it could be a number of things; physical labor/excercise, loss of cherished objects, loss of priveges heck even foods

teachers should have assistants anyway, classrooms are far too large for a single instructor to properly teach 20-30 students

I have to disagree with the use of food as a punishment or reward, it has the potential to create very unhealthy eating patterns through out life.

You really just shouldn't punish your kids at all, then they wouldn't ever be unhappy. Then they could just keep doing what they're doing and... nevermind, back to spanking everyone.

Taking away their toys is a bit different then using food, which is a vital part of their life lasting health, as a weapon of punishment.

I'm not arguing with you, I was just making a sarcastic comment pertinent to this thread.

What I'm seeing a LOT of in this thread is:

Pro-spanking: Mostly agree that it's only appropriate as a last resort, and to be used sparingly. If child shows no improvement, discontinue immediately. Many here have offered detailed lists of alternatives(Halfpint, Nikolce, etc).

Anti-Spanking: You're all horrible people and should never have children!

So, any ideas on alternatives then if spanking is so horrible?


Obvious cop out is obvious. You've made your point. Try contributing something worthwhile. Even the parents in favor of spanking have given many, many alternatives.

With federal funds for education being cut, the classrooms will get fuller. Teacher's assistants are the first ppl getting cut as well as newly hired teachers. Crappy, under-motivated, long-term teachers are being kept over newer graduates who, in their first year of teaching, proved to be far more effective in helping the students progress academically.

BTW...most classes will be 35-40 students in the classroom within the next 2 years. Means Parents need to step up and help the kids at home because the teachers no longer have the time to give the kids the attention they need.
