I didn't get spanking when I was little. We have a wood stick and every time I do something wrong, my parents hit my legs with it. Hurts.

[color=green]Life, what would it be without so much wrongs and rights?

I wouldn't but I believe I would have the right to without the social services annoying me ¬_¬ Fuck Political Correctness...

Something like that happened to my parents when I was young about 6-7, after a birthday party social worker called wanting to discuss the previous nights party. My parents were all worried thinking did they say something/hit one of the kids at the party... turns out when the party was over someone passing by (i.e. A nosy neighbour) heard my Mam say "I will kill yous if you don't get to bed now". At this point my Dad threw the Women out of the house 😀 Social workers all seem to be busy body 40 yar old women with nothing better to do with there life.... -_-

I guess.

I've gotten hit when I was a kid.
But I was a crappy one.
Still am. (:
Who knew feather dusters could hurt so much? xD

no.
my parents nvr laid a hand on me nor was i ever sent to my room or anyother type of punishment... so i wont do any of that to my future children

As if handcuffed, I'm bound to the memories of you...

naw, I'd let natural consequences take the place.

#2 - There are more effective discipline strategies that do NOT involve corporal punishment. They may take a bit more thought & energy from the parent(s), but in the long term, they work better.

This will also flow into my answer to this topic. Certain punishments work for certain kids. I know spanking worked perfectly well for me when I was a wee one. Though, for some kids this may not be the case.

While it's true that different discipline strategies work better for different kids, and I certainly wouldn't say that all spanking is abuse, I do truly think that there will always be some effective discipline that doesn't involve striking the child. It may take some time, creativity, and effort to find it, but it's there.

I don't believe spanking is appropriate either. When shaping someones behaviour, violence often begets more violence. By spanking during a child's formative years (up to 6 yo) you shape their ideas of what their boundaries should be, what's acceptable behaviour towrds themselves and towards others.

The key thing with any behavioural modification plan, which is basically what you're doing here, is consistency, validation of emotions, and postive feedback. Yes, every child is different, but if corporal punishment was so effective, you wouldn't have people in prison. It really is a similar situation, and the programs that most affect re-offense rates are the ones that work one the aforementioned values.

never learnt anything from being spanked, so i doubt i'll do it... it's useless

Yes but not always because there is time you need to talk to your kids and there is time you need to slap and spank them..If my son do something bad like use foul language at me I will warn him, if he do that again I still will warn him and he do that again I will still warn him but if he still do that again after the third warning the slap and spanking kicks in..

This also works, you learn what not to do pretty fast falling out of a tree under parental supervision, being greeted by a "You wont do that again will ya."

and I'll say it again, if it warrents spankings I will give.

please, please, dont say such average and shallow things or im gonna puke my lunch...

Anyway for me its basically 1-2 warnings then "HELLO SPANK!" >:3

And for who says that spanking=violence=more violence in the future from the kid....you read too many manga of father-son hatred themes, trust me. We're speaking about spanking, not family abuse.

I need a die with 2 sides.

That's known as a "coin".

Oh, thanks. Too much D&D.

A kid that has been spanked would be more inclined to resort to violence to deal with situations beyond their grasp.

And I don't think physical violence is the only object of discussion, what about negligence of your child. That's violence on a psychologically level.

Could mess with a person as much as spanking. 😮

I'm not saying spanking is good or bad, only that it does affect your behavioural patterns to an extent.
