Kids just deserve a beating sometimes - Am I right, or am I right?

Discuss:

Cause I'm pretty sure a good 3 to 4 backhands as they're growing up, really helps keep them in line.

Action - Reaction philosophy ya know?

Sass yo pappy!???? - BACKHAND!

You get the idea.

Five across the eyes goes a long way in the treatment of some fucking ADHD, I know that.

The beauty of living in the year 2014 is you never have to admit you failed as a parent, there are a plethora of things you can blame your child's behavior on; tv, bad teachers, bad schools, ADHD, ADD, Tourette's syndrome. If you don't like any of the available options then your doctor will just create a brand new disease to diagnose your child with.

Don't forget video games. And guns.

And white people.

Fuckin' white people.

I'm pretty sure a fair portion of my students are beaten. It doesn't seem to do them any good. Parenting APART from corporal punishment matters too as well as having a stable home life.

I can't tell you what they do or don't deserve. What I can tell you is it doesn't work as a parenting strategy, empirically. It "keeps them in line" in the immediate short term, but in the long term it's correlated with criminal behavior (including but not limited to abusing your grandchild).

Authoritative versus Authoritarian or Permissive parenting matters the most from what I've seen.

And bullying.

I saw a woman in Target with a screeching kid. He kept screaming his head off because she wouldn't buy him something. Instead of dragging him to the bathroom and giving him a solid ass-whooping, she just looked around for help. Like someone else should be raising her kid.

Also, for my mom it was a wire hanger across the backside instead of her hand. Sometimes a shoe. My uncle used a paddle with holes drilled in it. I was a good kid after a few spankings.

This is 100% true, and I believe physical punishment has it's place in establishing that relationship. Especially in the pre-teen age group.

I'm not saying a backhand or any sizable blow, but a pressure point or slap to a larger, more resilient body part (butt, thigh etc). The goal is less to inflict quantities of pain, but a small amount to focus their attention on you and pull them out of whatever excited/hysterical state of mind they're in. You still have to do actual parenting when you have their attention :wink2:

Edit: A better alternative for getting their attention, if available, is an ice pack on the neck. and they're/their/there mistake! Doh

LOL... to funny.

I think it goes beyond spanking. Spanking is too easy. A parent will often just "hit and forget" instead of instilling values or discipline. That is a no-no.

Prove you love your kids by beating them. (http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=beat)

If you do a good job parenting, you won't ever need to resort to corporal punishment. There are so many non-violent consequences. It shows a total lack of creativity to have to physically dominate your child in order to parent them.

[Androidpk]

See? This is what happens when you don't beat your kids!

A wire hanger? That's pretty fucked.
