My sister just told me she is planning on using corporal punishment (spanking) for her kids when she has them (I have a daughter but she doesn't have any kids yet)
I told her if she did then she would have to stop speaking to me because I would report her to child services.
Needless to say I won't be allowing her to babysit my daughter ever again.
(I believe in discipline but corporal punishment is not necessary if you are actually a good parent)
Edit: You don't have to agree with me. I just think that if you commanded real respect in your household you wouldn't need the threat of violence hanging over your children
Edit edit: I'm an adult and don't think it is necessary to become violent with a child that is a third of my size.
Edit edit edit: Hitting is hitting no matter the siverity, how often, or if you call it something different
EditX4: My political affiliation has nothing to do with this. Stop assuming I'm a liberal.

Spanking ≠ Abuse I seriously hope you're not this stupid, and that you're just baiting.

Sometimes you gotta spank.

spanking is not violent...and it is a very specific thing. would you grab a child's arm forcefully to pull them out from in front of a bus? i mean that can leave a bruise and is much more painful than a spanking. or would you not do it because being physical enough with a child to cause a bruise regardless of intention is still violent?

Ha ha people who think corporal punishment is never necessary crack me up. Have a kid like i was and you'll change your mind. Not all kids are the same and not all approaches are the same. If talking to your kid works then good for you, but if it doesn't you might want to try a different method such as corporal punishment. I actually fear what i would have become in life had I not been disciplined the way I was. So I'm glad you have an opinion, don't you dare judge someone else for theirs, your post tells me your not as good of a parent as you might think.

Spankings are a necessity, for me I was raised in a military family and was required to have discipline or i got smacked, spanked, or yelled at. Now that I'm 20 years old I'm grateful that I got disciplined if I acted up because I didn't turn out to be a thug or prick or down right stupid with no common sense.

The new methods of parenting and what the new age of psychologist says that spanking and all physical contact to the children only affect them and don’t correct them (you know, that’s why all the old people were all traumatic people) But I think that is cool if you can control your child without hitting him, but not all the children’s are the same and not all the parents have the means to make this right, so the result are all this new generation kids that are too disrespectful and rude Remember that kids are human being in development so this mean they are more instinctive than us, so a little hit (not hurt him, just a physical action) do a lot more to correct them that days of punishments and talks The problem I see is the parents that don’t hit they children but don’t know how to correct them or they don’t want cuz they are afraid of doing something traumatic for the kid (nonsense for the most part), and the other side of the coin are the parents that hit them on daily basis abusing of them, everything should be more of a equilibrium So I´m not against a little spank to correct them and at the same time doing everything so this should be a last resource and not something of everyday

Reporting to child services is a bit extreme for spanking (if done correctly). If it's something you won't do because you don't think it's necessary, that's fine, but I wouldn't frown upon others who do. I was spanked from time to time when I was younger, a friend of mine was whacked with a spoon, another made to move large rocks or lumber from one area to another, another friend had to run until he was told to stop, we all turned out fine because the punishment was done correctly. No one was ever left with welts or bruises or broken limbs, it was just red for a bit then went away. THAT is how corporal punishment is meant to be for disciplining children, and all children are different, sometimes corporal punishment is what works, again if done correctly. A woman at work had a 3 yr. old that was being completely unruly all of a sudden, she tried everything she could think of. It finally stopped when she said she would take all her dresses away. My point is corporal punishment is a valid means of discipline if you know what you're doing. If you don't feel comfortable with it that's fine, if you don't want people doing it to your children that's fine too (they're your kids, so you ultimately have the end decision on how to discipline them), however don't just dismiss corporal punishment as a terrible thing when in fact it's not. It's certainly not something to burn bridges over. I guess the main idea here is there are many techniques to get to a certain goal in discipline as well as many other things, the option shouldn't immediately be dismissed just because you're not comfortable with it.

Most of the people I know are high achievers who are all nice people and successful. None of them were spanked or beaten in anyway. Corporeal punishment is in lieu of good parenting, or unnecessary.

1 ReplyEdited by CasualFTW: 10/14/2014 5:11:41 AMI was spanked growing up and I never was afraid of my parents.. still love them to death! I think if you spank a child after telling them why they are being punished and making sure you as the parent are thinking with a level head at the time, and ensuring the crime fits the punishment all ends well. Not all kids are naturally respectful and some kids down right take advantage of their parents every chance they get, and will unless they get a REAL punishment! Just my two cents though. Edit: words

Edited by IGotVds: 10/14/2014 3:52:20 PMMild spanking is okay. CPS will do nothing for spanking your child I've seen this first-hand when they got called on my uncle. They told him to bust their ass just don't take it overboard and stay away from the face.

Every parent is different. The worst behaved kids I have ever seen have no controls put on them by their parent. Spanking and the threat of spanking is a tool. Use it, dont abuse it.

My opinion depends. A slap on the booty or the wrist, sure. A punch to the balls or a kick to the face, no
