Not open for further replies.
The majority of American parents admit to having spanked their child.
The current and last first ladies both admitted they spanked their children.
Spanking is legal across the land.

How is it not normal?

So according to studies:
- Spanking can be harmful to a child
- Raising your voice can be harmful to a child
- Time outs can be harmful to a child
- Grounding can be harmful to a child

...
Just leave them in their ignorance. They just don't get it.

Don't know how you could beat a kid who is 4 or under.

I don't judge other parents and maybe some sort of physical discipline works, but I am skeptical of its use for small children.

Damn I am old. When I was in elementary the bad kids used to get paddled. I am pretty sure Gata could have used that growing up but that is just conjecture!

can you guys shut the fuck up about spanking or take it to OT? We got a shtfest game going on here
I'm pretty sure the NFL threads are pretty much a mini OT at this point. There's cell phone wars, console gaming, political discussion, making fun of gata/jnc/etc with a splash of football thrown in.

You can punish kids without hitting them.

Yelling* and timeouts work at my house.


* this only occurs when one child attacks or hurt the other. This drives me insane.
Oh I'm not trying to say they shouldn't be punished, just that you might as well be treating them like lesser beings if you're beating them.

I got whippings as a kid, mostly from my dad, it stopped after middle school but I was really distant from my father until after I graduated high school. I would also get into fights at school (this stopped after the whippings). I don't think any kid should live in fear of a parent or their parents like I did. I won't "whup" my children if I ever have any, ever.

I'll just feed them.
