Everything learns better with positive reinforcement, not punishment. Parents who hit their kids teach them to solve problems with violence, leading to more violence in society.
| SaviorX said: Often times people do not find a balance. The line between is discipline is very thin; it is not uncommon for parents to blow one minor thing a child does out of proportion, just so they can find an excuse to beat the hell out of them. Some smacks on the hand or the old rump should be all that occur; smacking a kid in the face is unreal. I have no idea how you could look into the eyes of your own child and literally smack their self-image. I find that explanation FIRST and then spanking later is a better option. When the child is putting themselves in danger then yea, spank em. You have a hard day at work and beat your kids when they sneeze wrong? Shame on you. |
Eh, my parents smacked me on my face, but I know it was not out of hate but as a last resort to make me understand something. My parents used to smack me occassionally when I was a child, but they stopped when I was around 8 because they knew that I was capable of differentiating between right and wrong, so a simple scold here and there was enough. And now I've grown into an adult who deeply respects his parents and never talks back to them. The problem with most parents these days is that they're too "easy" on their kids, and a simple time-out or scold sometimes is not enough to discipline the child. If a parent is smacking his child occasionally with the intention of teaching, rather than hurting, then the parent is doing his job correctly.

SO you're telling me you have never fixed anything by smacking? Like never never?
I fixed my tv and other electronics by smacking it on the side back in the day.

Our future kids could be robots man. Only way to fix them might be a screwdriver to the chest or face until it comes back to life.
I'm just messing though, I know what you mean and it's technically correct.

jails are also full of people who were physically "disciplined" as children.

You'll get disciplined list.
Not doing homework = Disciplined!
Lying = Disciplined!
Wake up late for school = Disciplined!
Rude behavior = Disciplined!
Breaking the rules = Disciplined!
These are some of the things I lived by while growing up as a kid, by my parents and teachers. It is important for a child to understand these things in my opinion.

I think that there are too many children who are abused in the world. Tightening of laws is a good way of helping children who are abused. I am not saying that the parent should go to jail for 5 years because of it. I think there has to be evidence of repeat actions. The occasional bruise from falling or playing is acceptable. Kids fall and are crazy and they play all the time. Now if some abuse is suspected the parent or parents should be mandated to go to parenting classes that they pay for themselves, but the 5 years things is a little harsh. Rules are too crazy these days. I am talking about for cases that are not clear cut. Ones where the kid has bruises on his/her face, arms or anywhere else then the parent obviously was trying to hurt the kid. I rough house with my boys all the time, and they never have bruises or anything close. So for anything like that to happen , the parents must be doing it deliberately.
Time outs do not work as well as a Spanking did when I was a kid. And for the kids who say spanking was humilitating or anything else, I say they are idiots and liers. Taking stuff away and denying desert or whatever else is not as effective either. But this is a new world and the old way of spanking with a paddle, or any other form of violent abuse is not acceptable anymore. Again, as a kid in a private school they still had paddles. So long rambling short, Smacking is not acceptable. Not sure why the OP used the word smacking though. A light spanking is acceptable I think in some cases. But it should be used in moderation, so that the kid does not learn that violence is good.

Yeah I just assumed the OP meant spanking as well, not actual abuse like a punch or slap to the face. I just mean a swift slap on the arse.
That worked better on me than sending me to my room or taking away my playstation.
Fun.
