No matter how she's acting - or any other child for that matter - hitting a child is wrong - ESPECIALLY someone else's child.
Willow - what that boy did was wrong - but what you did was wrong too. I can't even imagine picking up someone's CHILD and doing that. I know some people are raised that way but man - that just promotes violence. It may get their attention - but it brings you right down to that level. there are many other ways to handle kids that are out of control and to tell you the truth - if it were my family and someone did that to my kid - I'd have nothing to do with that person again. |
I understand what you are saying, but I was raised to believe spanking was/is ok.
I do not think spanking is wrong. I believe we as parents are to do what ever is necessary to properly raise our children. My parents spanked me, their parents spanked them, and as kids we never stepped a toe out of line. We knew and understood the consequences if we did. The end result, we all grew into responsible adults.
Now days, what consequences do kids have? Send them to their rooms and they have tv's toys games everything they want in their rooms.
But as I said, not every bad deed deserves a spanking. There are other means of discipline that work for some kids. It really depends on the kids personality as to what will work.
V, I am sorry if I offended you.
