Ending Corporal Punishment: Why you should never spank a child

But the Bible says otherwise, sometimes you have to take a belt to a child.

Too late, I've already spanked my children, who BTW are now strongly moral adults in their 30s, successful architects and engineers, with families of their own. I must have done a lot of damage, huh?

Liberals know more than God...

There were consequences for behavior in my household. All three of my kids are logical, with their feet securely on the ground, and all three are solid Christians. "Spare the rod, spoil the child." My kids weren't spoiled....merely well loved!

Are we allowed to pistol whip them /

Are we allowed to pistol whip them /

Of course you are. It's guaranteed by the second amendment. You're also allowed to use bull whips and cattle prods. Just make sure you don't spank them.

I think the problem comes when spanking turns into abuse, which we know can happen with some parents, and when this happens all forms of physical discipline are frowned upon. satan infects the heart of some people and they act out of anger rather than love when disciplining their children and things get out of hand.

I agree, but it's not such an easy line to draw.

Yeah Mike that's why we mere mortals try to make all encompassing rules that try to stop the possibility of abuse. It's tossing the baby out with the bathwater though.

I was spanked as a child, and now I suffer from a condition known as R.F.O. (Respect For Others).

After my parents divorced, my mom dated this man and he moved in with us and lived with us for 5 years and disciplined my sister and I as if we were his own kids. He would occasionally spank me with his belt and would leave bruises on me.

That is not a spanking ..

 

[TOG]

I was once in a long distance relationship with a woman in Las Vegas. We had talked about marriage, and one time when I went to visit her, we talked about how to discipline her children. She had 2 boys and 2 girls. She said that, as the biological parent, she would discipline her children so I wouldn't become the evil step-parent, but that's not relevant here. She told me that she used different methods on each of the kids. She told me that she could spank one of the boys as much as she wanted, and it wouldn't do any good, but with her other son, spanking was the only way to get him to behave. She never spanked the girls, because other methods worked for them.

Some people seem to think that all children can be raised using a standard method you can learn from a book. Real life doesn't work that way. Children are just as much individuals as grownups, and they need different methods of discipline. Sometimes spanking is what works, and sometimes it isn't. There's no such thing as a standard child, and therefore no standard way of raising children.
