Spanking is good discipline for kids?

Just watch for the people who beat there kids like it's fun.

If there being really really naughty yes.

I was spanked my sister was not. I behave she does not

NOOO!

well it worked for me and i turned out fine lol. my dad always talked to me on why he was spanking me and how i can do better then he would spank me and hold me and say "I did this because i love you and you needed to learn"........... but i know people out there whos parents beat them and a bunch of problems rise up, at least i had it somewhat better than other people

You stop at a certain age

It is one tactic or tool among many that parents can use to discipline their kids.

It not something you do all the time, a couple of times is usually enough that they know you mean business.

not like beatdowns where you draw blood or bruise....
but a slight smack to get their attention should do the trick

I wonder why bosses and teachers don't use that trick?

because they are not parents of the person they want to smack i guess

As a last resort only.

worked for me.... kept my ass out of jail.

Yes! When they are 2 and 3....they don't understand logic at that age so all the talking in the world will not help. If you pay attention when they are young and get them under control, there's no need to spank later. At 2 and 3 they are testing to see what they can get away with. If you can't get them under control by that age then you will have many battles ahead.

You're exactly right.

2 or 3? Getting hit by a grown adult?

Swatted gently on a diapered butt! Way to go to the extreme LOL

I got a one about every other day!

You sound like my father except he said he would get one daily, whether he needed it or not LOL

A swat on the butt can be quite effective. No belts, no bare butt violence. Just a hard enough swat to get their attention.

Exactly!!

Yes, a good swat on the behind sure gets their attention quickly.

And your point is?

got her attention lol

Sure did, but I was talking about little kids. lol lol Now if you did that to me, you better run for your life. lol

no way.... I learned that lesson the hard way... a 20 year old Brent was not as smart as a_ _ year old Brent this is now my standard greeting

Looks like you wised up. lol

a friend of mine did it to his girlfriend and got away with I tried it...... Showing out for "the boys" NEVER A GOOD IDEA!

hahaha I have to agree...............not a good idea. Sounds like you learned a dear lesson. lol

His point was to make everyone have to see his filth!

Every kid is different with some it is very affective and with others it would have to take a different technique of discipline. I can say that it worked for me!..

I have learn that kid are more afraid of taking away something or privilege than spanking

Puppies get a swat on the butt when they make a stinky on the floor...it's simply letting them know what they have done is wrong. Eventually they learn not to make stinky inside. A young child is the same. They don't yet understand logic but need a little correction from time to time. Nothing violent, out of control or in anger, just a little swat with your hand on their diapered butt. My son when he was 2, walked up to our 120 pound pit bull while he was sleeping and kicked him in the stomach then looked right at me as if to say, "I just did something I know was wrong, will there be a reaction from you?" I got up, gave him one swat on the butt and my son happlily went on with his day and never did it again. Kids need parameters and need to know their parents care enough to discipline. BTW, my well disciplined pit bull did nothing, kind of looked around and went back to sleep. If I had not reacted as I had and my son kicked another persons pit bull in the stomach, it could have had a much worse end result. Discpiline is a safety issue. My son now teaches a class of 2nd graders and says the kids are out of control, calling each other vulgar names, fist fighting, destroying school property, etc...then mentions it to me, saying "didn't these kids parents ever spank their butts?"

You can use your words and get the point across too.
Sounds like your son is not a good teacher if the kids around him are out of control.... he has a voice too.

Like I said, 2 to 3 year old do not understand logic. How many children do you have?

They don't understand logic.... so you hit them. LOL

I have three children.

Like I said, how many children do you have? You didn't answer the first time so I will assume none. If that's the case, you have no idea what you are talking about and should probably keep your mouth shut until you get a little experience!!

You can used the same technique of scaring with psychological and being less physycal about it. Such as grabing the arm or wrist and then hit yourself on them same area that you are grabbing. Therefore you are taking in the pain of hitting him but you are delivering the same effect of spanking.
Now that my child is 6 years old, I use other non violent action like taking his toys away or deleting his TV show or have him stand on the retention spot.

I think that the need of physical pain to understand what he did is wrong, and taking away his freedom or priviledge are much more effective than pain.

Believe me, I "spank" my kid once and I felt worse than a bully trying to enforce or demand something that wasn't love or mutual respect.

Being a parent is about doing better than your parents were. Better communicator, negotiator, in affection.... and the list goes on. Spank is not something that I will not like to be better at.
