SPARE THE ROD AND SPOIL THE CHILD. I WAS SPANKED WHEN I WAS A CHILD AND BELIVE ME IF THEY NEEDED IT MINE GOT IT TOO! THEY ALSO KNOW HOW TO SAY PLEASE, SIR, AND THANK YOU. MOST KIDS NOW A DAYS DOEN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. -
Some people feel that the authors of Proverbs did recommend that parents beat their children into submission with a rod. They believe that these passages are a reflection of a very violent society which practiced human slavery,
stoned non-virgin brides to death, tortured prisoners, committed genocide, and acted in other ways which are considered profoundly immoral by today's religious and secular standards. All of the latter practices have long since been abandoned. We should also reject the infliction of pain as a child-rearing tool as well. -

There are times when children just go too far. Like a brat on a rant or screaming fit.
While I would prefer the adult treatment of a cold bucket of water... there are times when children need to understand that they ARE NOT IN CONTROL OF ANYTHING - THEY ARE CHILDREN!
If they want to behave like brats... then it is fair to treat them like brats.
On one hand, I have met some truely exceptional young people... on the other hand,.... May the good Lord save me from myself.... -

A couple of smacks on the butt with a paper or your hand, never hurt a child psychically. Just as long as that's all it is and a quick reminder why they are being spanked. But more than that is abusive. Also, restrictions might be good. But that could also make them more rebellious and resentful.
No, I was spanked when I did something bad after I had been warned several times to stop my actions. Only after several warnings for the same offense, was I spanked and I had to sit on my butt and think about what I had done wrong. Good lesson! Never made that same mistake again! -

Child abuse and corporal punishment are two very different things. If you hit you child in the face and your child is black and blue because of it, you have a problem. But if you got a child, that is mouthing off at you, I sure as hell won't sit there and say "go to your room!" -
Children Learn What They Live
by Dorothy Law Neite
If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn.
If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight.
If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy.
If a child learns to feel shame, he learns to feel guilty.
If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient.
If a child lives with encouragement he learns confidence
If a child lives with praise, he learns to appreciate.
He a child lives with fairness, he learns justice.
If a child lives with security, he learns to have faith.
If a child lives with approval, he learns to like himself.
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship, he learns to find love in the world. -

Corporal punishment to me is when everybody gets it because somebody did it. I don't really like public punishment sometimes, and the emphasis is on the word sometimes, but I sure don't think it should be outlawed and scrutinized so heavily. If parents aren't allowed to raise their own kids and correct them... who gets to do it? It seems everybody has to be in everybody else face telling someone else how to do it. -

putting them in the corner or taking away their play station isn't going to do a damn thing. A spanking will make them think again before they do something they know they shouldn't be doing. -
Answered Parents should be able to spank their children when the child's behavior threatens safety of self or others.
Spanking is OK. Beating is child abuse and should be severely punished. My folks spanked me when I deserved it and I turned out OK. I was NEVER beaten. -

"Spare the rod and spoil the child." Child abuse is one thing, corporal punishment is another. If parents don't discipline their children, then this is where they'll end up.
