I disagree that kids who are spanked are more violent when they are older. when I was really young, I got spanked too, and now I'm a goody-two-shoes (according to everyone who knows me) and I don't like violence. The only thing spanking did for me was make me scared of doing bad things, which isnt that much of a problem.

Quote from grandexeno

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

That's what I intend doing, too. My sisters and I have been spanked as kids and we grew up to be quite good daughters. Growing up, we never gave our parents major problems and we surely didn't suffer any traumas from being spanked.

Not more violent, more inclined towards it.
Every individual deals with it differently, of course.

At the end of the day, raising up a whole new person is difficult to say the least.

in my very limited experience, resorting to violence is hardly necessary, there are a lot of non-violent ways to discourage from bad behavior.

also, where i live there are laws against this kind of behavior, and blame it on how i was raised, but i can't understand how anyone could even consider hurting his or hers own child in such a way. a parent is an authority, but also someone that the child should be able to trust and feel comfortable with. could you really feel at ease with someone so much stronger than you who hurt you in any way?

Quote from Dr. Love

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

just prove it, ok? :3

Oh, thanks. Too much D&D.

Ima beat the HELL out of my kids!!! And no spankin either! I'm talking straight knees to the face, and baseball bats to the cerebellum!! I'ma kick em in the stomach and toss 'em down stairs!!! Everyone will know I mean business when they see the bruises and scars my kids have!!!

Yea right... 🙄

All jokes aside, I will spank my kids. My parents spanked me, but that wasn't the only method of discipline. Thus I grew to learn the severity of my wrong doings. Pushing my bro would get me no tv for the day. Running through the neighborhood butt-naked got me a spanking every other hour for the rest of the day. If I did something REALLY bad that i didn't know about, my parents would warn me. If i did it again, I'd get spanked.

As long as your kids know what their getting spanked for, I think they'll be more disciplined than other kids who can say
"so what? 🤨 " when they get grounded.

Edit: I guess children who get spanked are more inclined to violence. Doesn't mean that this sort of violence is bad though.

Feck yes...but only when they willfully and knowingly disobey me or do something bad. The punishments wont be as "harsh" as the ones I got when I was younger though. There were belts, tip of the belt, shirt hanger, wooden sandals(clogs?), anything mom can pick up, chairs, stools, ratan stick feather duster...the list goes on, but most of these are used when I'm running though 🤣

First of all, spanking isn't really a violence. It's just a way the parents to teach their kids not to do bad things.. I don't don't know how you people compare spanking with other violence act like punching, kicking and others.. I don't think the parents would use all their might and anger just to spank their kids..The spanking also helps the children when they grown up coz they will know when they do bad things they will get punish..

Actually it's very easy to hit harder than you intend to, esp. when angry, and kids WILL make you angry! One of the problems with spanking is that it's often done in anger, in the heat of the moment, and things get out of hand. NOT saying that everyone who spanks will have that happen, but it does happen, even when people have no intention of harming their child(ren).

As far as "when you do bad things you'll get punished" - do adults get hit as punishment when they do bad things? 😕 Maybe some places they do...in the U.S., as far as I'm aware, the punishments for adults are a lot more similar to "time out" or "loss of privileges" than they are to spanking. Better to get them used to the kind of consequences they'll face as adults, IMO.

Also, my kids have told me "I wish you'd just spank us and get it over with so we could go back to playing..." rather than having them lose privileges. Clearly for them, loss of privileges makes a bigger impression and thus (I hope) will make them consider their actions more carefully.

Sometimes a kid needs a good beating. Sometimes an adult needs a good beating. Pain is a good deterrent from bad behavior. unless they're masochists.

I'm proof. 😐 When I get mad, I'd rather want to break something/hit someone, then find another way.

And as I said before, it's different with every person. There's no fail-safe method to raise up your child.

I wouldn't call that proof. I know people who where never spanked that do the same thing, just it involves alot more yelling and screaming...

And then saying that its different for every person is pretty much refuting your first statement.

Well, then that's a mistake on my part. 😮 Humankind is too diverse to make just one judgement.

I see that some kids who just can't be reached through talking or other forms of discipline demand the need to get spanked. I was spanked... and when I do have children spanking will be a last resort form of discipline.

DOn't tell me those kids couldn't have used a good spanking.
