These experts are ridiculous. A very young child cannot be reasoned with. There are moments when swift punishment must be done to ensure the child is safe. Such as when they are running headfirst into traffic or they eat ground up cheerios off the playground. Other times a timeout is appropriate, but it depends on the child. My son was perfectly content to sit by himself and would not come out after his timeout was over! My daughter was distraught over a timeout, so it worked. As long as discipline is done in love and in the best interest of the child, butt out!!
Children do not come with a set of rules. It os a parents duty to discipline there child as seen fit. We raised a fine man that is ready to retire with 20 years in the Army. He currently has a son and daughter that he and his wife are raising the same way that both of them were raised. He wasn't spanked more than a handful of times in his life. Neither have his children. Spanking works. Kate, do what you need to do.
I was raised in the very early 1940's when a parent still had the option of disciplining there children. Now days we have so many do gooders out there who probably don't even have children who think you are going to mark a child for life if you spank them. I feel that the spankings I got as a child not only did not destroy me as a person but actually taught me some valuable lessons. When a person missbehaves, there are penalties that must be paid. I am certainly not in favor of child abuse but I feel a crack on the butt occassionally can be very beneficial.
Yes spank your kid if he are she did something wrong, that while these kids are killing there parents, you birth that child and you have wright to DICIPLINE,your child,that while it's so much crime today among young people today, just don't go overboard, with it's a way to spank your child without been abusive, GOD,say spoil the child and spare rod
Children have to have guidelines as to where they can go and what they can do, I believe in spanking, spanked all 4 of my children when they were small. That is what a rear end is for. i don't believe in beating a child but a small slap on the rear will not kill them. Children today have no respect for them selves or for any one else and it is the parents fault. a small smack on the hinnie, will not hurt them, they are well padded there, I have seen children I would love to smack the parents for letting their children run wild in church, restaurants, and everywhere else. a now honey, don't do that will not help an out of control child.
I got a good whaking when i needed it, it taught me to respect my elders and others. I listened to those who think they know best and i have raised the most disresptfull and willfull kids a parent could ever be ashamed of. they are all adults and are like most of the rest of the entitlement generation. Humans have disiplined their offspring since the begining of time, and now what has become of them and god forbid whats the next generation going to be like? We should rely on our instinks. A good swat never hurt any kid and i can count my own spankings on one hand it didn't take much.
In this beautiful free country we live in . . . are we really free?
Can we not even discipline our own children without someone crying foul?
What Kate Gosselin does w/her children is none of my business. I have no control over how she parents.
I rarely have had to spank my daughter of 7 years old. When I have people tell me how polite she is, how cooperative she is, and how respectful she is, I tell them that I don't expect anything less from her. She knows that when we go shopping, not staying with me the entire time is NOT an option; running around would be unheard of, and crying or screaming is not acceptable. Breaking of any rule results in a time out and I very rarely have to do that.
I love my children. The Lord God Almighty entrusted them to my husband and I so we see to it that all of us attend Church on Sunday, my husband and I both take advantage of continuing education and we don't smoke, drink or party with our friends.
A quote I once read in a book I have says this:
"The older generation cannot complain about the younger generation - they should consider where it came from". Ouch.
Good luck Kate!
I really believe in the subject line. I just turned 55 and in my earlier, parenting days, my ex-wife and I together raised a fine son.
During his impressionable years, if he needed a spanking he got it. I think that he probably remembers all three of them.
After those initial spankings, we never had to do it again.
You just can't do it when the child is in their teens-because then it's too late.
My theory is this, rule the child and don't let them rule you the parents.
Yes, sometimes it's hard to spank, but if it teaches a child to grow up healthy and wise, then I don't think it's a bad thing.
I've never beaten my son ever. I only ever spanked him with either my hand or a very breakable stick. Never left any marks on him.
My son is now 36 years old. We have a very good father/son relationship and along with his wife, I now have four very healthy grandsons, ranging from age 3 to 10.
I'm sure from the way that my son was raised, one of those grandsons has probably gotten a spanking and it didn't hurt them.
So if you ask me, spank or not to spank? Think about it. Sometimes it's just necessary when there is no other alternative and usually, it works
I got a wack on the behind when needed...I watched the video...she did nothing wrong...that is what's wrong with our spoiled kids today....a wack on the butt doesn't hurt them....one wack and then time out........go for it Kate!!!
What Americans should ask themselves is - how disobedient and out of control have children become since discipline in the home has change? Well, from what I have seen in the past two decades is that children are committing crimes that were unheard of when I was a child. The US laws have decided to try our children as adults for the crimes they commit. A child is norm to believe that no one can do anything about their attitudes when it comes to their behavior. Children are not taught to think or be concern with the consequences of their actions. I blame adults with this ongoing mentally concerning discipline of children which is broadcast throughout multimedia everyday. Don't get me wrong - I never disciplined my children when I am angry because you can hurt them. There is a fine line between abuse and discipline. When you cause a child serious bodily harm which requires first aid to hopitalization that is abuse! But when you spank a child it is to let that child know you mean what you say and they are not do it anymore...but you do this with love and understanding. Society has no compassion for your children and while you grieve over their fate no one else cares! So, parents need to be parents and nurture their children to be productive persons in our society. Last but not least there are many reasons for the problems we have with our children - including children having children - and people wanting to be young forever and not be parents but friends with their children. But like everything you do in this life you do with measure. Now is the time to set a Spiritual foundation for our children and give praise and glory to Jehovah and let Jesus Christ lead our way through this life - For Jehovah said "THIS WILL BE A LAWLESS GENERATION" and we are looking at it!
