The "No corporal punishment" policy makes kids nowadays ignorant and annoying.

Yea they think they can do what they want because the most parents can do is shout at 'em.

Yeah, we have live through the days our parents beat us, and I believe my kids will do as well. Watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn5jlrxcpkI

When I have kids they tell me to 'Fuck off' I'll smack 'em upside the head. I once told my mom 'Fuck you' and she washed my mouth out with soap. AFTER, she made my ass red with a stick.

I'll bet you never said 'fuck you' to her again.

The fact that you say "Oh I do...just not out loud." shows why this is wrong, beating up your child will create fear in them, they'll know not to commit the act infront of their parent, rather than learning not to do it all all, Good parenting is teaching your kids WHY its wrong to do what they did, rather than teaching them not to say it in front of you :)

I didn't say 'beating up you child and putting them in a goddamn coma'. I meant spanking them, or giving them a hard slap on the wrist or something along those lines. And sometimes when you explain to your kids what they did is wrong, it goes in one ear and out the other. So give them a spanking, THEN tell them what they did was wrong. X(

I think tell em what they did wrong and if they don't get it spank em. But I agree, kids cannot be expected to be on the same thinking level as an adult. They don't understand why banging their toys against a coffee table is bad, they don't see why it getting scratched is bad, and if they continue to do it after you put them in timeout, obviously baging the coffee table is worth the time out. A swift smack to the bottom is not, though. When I got spanked, it didn't hurt, it just starteled me and I can tell you I never did what I got spanked for again. I mean, I wouldn't spank my kids over hitting the coffee table, that's basicley "I spank you cuz I mad" not "I spank you cuz you did something wrong". But you get the point, I hope.

Exactly! After you got spanked you never did it again. I don't mean spank kids for silly stuff like banging toys on a coffee table. They're kids, if it makes a noise when you bang something on a table, it must be toy! I mean stuff they know they're not allowed to do. Like stealing, lying, hitting other children. Do I really need to make a list of what I meant that kids should be spanked for?

Even if you slap them after they do something, they wont really know why what they did was wrong, they just know not to do it in front of the parent again..

Okay fine. Since we can't agree, let's find common ground. How about if you explain to your child that what they did was wrong, and they do it again, and you give them an even more in-depth reason why what they did was wrong, but they do it yet again. Can you spank them then?

yeah, I guess, if its not getting in to them :)

i'm sure your kid can deal with the lower iq and aggressive behavior without loving parents

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I got spanked and my IQ is 137. I'm one of the most peacful people I know. And I'm pretty sure my parents love me. Studies DID show it could lower IQ, though I have no idea how much I trust that. Another study showed black kids responded well to being spanked. So I mean... c'mon now.

Oops :O I actually do agree with this.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Someone having a different opinion than you doesn't mean they're a troll. 84 people agreed with this. Just because it is in the negative, does not make them a troll. Spanking happend to be a very contravesial subject, and yes, some people do belive in it.

If the OP disagrees with their own post, they are a troll. Or, in this case, they accidentally did it.

there's a difference between spanking and straight up hitting

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I'm fine with spanking if they're misbehaving, but only after a time-out and telling them to stop hasn't worked. That's what my cousin does, and her little boy is the sweetest kid in the world. Then again, she's just consistent with punishment, vs. my sister who lets her kids do whatever they want.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I don't care how you punish kids as long as you don't abuse them. A spanking is different than a beating. Some kids just respond better to being spanked. Like my brother; you can ground him for weeks and he'll still back talk you because all my mom would do is take his stuff. But just even threaten to smack that butt and he'd straighten up.

I thought your WERE allowed to hit your kids, or in other words, spank them. You're just not allowed to go over board to the point where they are bruised, scratched, severely hurt, etc. That would be abuse. I had such a mischevious cousin. Empty threats, grounding, and yelling didn't work for him. Spanking was the only thing that stopped him from doing bad things.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

It is allowed. Pretty hardcore too. Once my mom thought I took 25 dollars from her (I didn't, she figured it out after the cops left) and she hit me in the face with a lamp and I was bleeding HARDCORE and they told me "it's called parenting. You're lucky we don't take you to seff for calling your mom a cunt in front of us".

by Anonymous 13 years ago

WTF? That makes no sense.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

so why'd you vote no way if sometimes nothing else will teach them.........................

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I voted NW because you ARE allowed to hit your own kid. Corporal punish works for people like my cousin, but for others, it doesn't. Also, the post says, "If corporal punishment doesn't teach them, nothing will." Sometimes other things WILL work if spanking your kid doens't. It can go both ways.

I'm not meaning punching and giving your kids black eyes or bloody lips. I mean spanking. People need to chill out.

God, people. I used to get spanked, and I'm actually much better behaved/well-mannered than most kids in my year at school. I didn't turn out bad and I do not hate my parents. I admit, sometimes my parents spanked me for wrong reasons or stupid things, but it wasn't to the point of beating me. Most of the time I deserved it. Our Grandparents probably got spanked and to be honest their generation were better behaved than ours when they were our age.
