I think it works in moderation. Sometimes words aren't enough for kids.

if it everyone got a spanking when they were bad, ADHD wouldn't exist

Nay, I fought back and my parents never did it again. Same with slapping.

they weren't doing it right

well moderation is the key, don't overdue it, but kids are becoming to out of control, because god forbid you say something that might hurt their feelings

Since my real father used to beat the shit out of me, I completely disagree with any form of hitting your kid whatsoever. It's bullshit. You can discipline your kid without physically harming them.

there is a giant difference between spanking and physical harm, your dad wasn't spanking you, he was beating you, big difference. and that is no reason to let kids run wild without proper discipline.

You made me laugh.

that.

i would never hit them.

Yay. Some chirren are just too bad to negotiate with. My parents always whooped me and I have alot of sense ^.~*....

My dad had it bad, if he said something wrong, his father would make him chug a bottle of sauce. :rofl:

I don't really believe in it. Violence on your children really doesn't do anything positive.

o.o oh wow xD!!!!

If you do it right, you shouldn't ever have to spank your kids more than once. So long as they know that punishment is not an idle threat, they think twice about behaving badly.

disciplining a child with a sex act is wrong. So no.

Proper discipline? Hitting a child who is just starting to form their opinions of their parents and of people in general? No, that's fucking lunacy. I know kids who were only spanked but grew up traumatized because of it. Everyone reacts differently. For every person who learns a lesson because of a spanking, one will end up growing up with an impression that they aren't loved, and will lead a basically useless and crime-ridden life.

I've always been one to say that a good ass kicking is sometimes exactly what someone needs, but never ever a child.

If you're a father (or even a mother sometimes) and you can't teach your child how to act properly without physically harming them, then you're a pussy straight up.

I wasn't spanked, but I have discipline. I would have to sit down and hold my arms in the air until they were sore. Got quite a workout out of my punishment.

I could care less if people spank their kids, its their choice, but it shows how easily manipulated they are by their anger if they're driven to the point of harming their own child.
