| I have a wonderful 24 yr old dtr. I hate spanking and never did it much. Hubby would spank her if he felt she needed it. But the main thing about it was he never did it in anger. I made sure he was calm before he spanked her. I was the grounder but very lax in it. Now she treats me more like a friend than her mom. I feel she does not respect me. Her dad and her are very close and have a great relationship. Her biggest hate was when we would talk to her about what she did that was wrong. When she was little dh wore overalls a lot. When she misbehaved while out with him, she would have to walk beside him holding on to the hammer loop. She hated that. I can remember my mammaw swatting my behind with her house shoe once when I misbehaved. Many times she threatened to make me go out and get a switch so she could spank me. I turned out all right I think. Never thought less of her.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Whew I was afraid to read this thread, my blood boils when I see people advocating physical punishment, the results are in, IT DOESN'T WORK! Your kids may be good around you, but they don't know how to behave in the real world. Good to know Yorkie mamas make good skin kids mamas too!

| after reviewing opinions I have decided to post my own. I grew up being spanked. I was spanked with a belt, a fly swatter, a bare hand and whatever else they had close by to paddle me with. I don't feel like I was ever abused at all in any way. I feel that my parents used spanking as a tool and it was only used when something very very wrong was done. They often told me that they were going to wait until a later time to spank me, like mom was waiting on dad to come home. This anticipation of the punishment was AWFUL, but the spankings never really hurt me, they barely stung, but they sucked to have to get them and believe me they made me less inclined to do things again. I also got soap in my mouth for lying or swearing. Traditional old discipline. Having said all that about how I grew up and not having my own children to know exactly how I will raise them or react, I don't believe that spanking/swatting is abuse at all. I think it does have it's place in certain instances. I think that if i were to teach my child that something was hot and not to touch it I would much rather swat their little hand and say NO than for them to learn the hard way and burn their hands badly. I think that at times a good butt swat might be neccessary. How I think that I will discipline my child about 90-95% of the time is more with reason. Explaining every last detail of WHY they shouldn't make the choices that are not good for them. Esp. as teenagers they need to know WHY not to do something. I want them to be free thinkers who understand that everything in life is 100% up to their choosing, BUT choices all have consequence both good and bad. I hope to teach them what some examples of those consequences are. And i don't ever want to be a counter parent...life doesn't offer a 1...2...3... you just get fired the first time if it's bad enough. No boss is going to say get off your cell phone 1...2...3... that's unrealistic and not a good parenting tactic IMO. I think I will prob. be mostly reasoning and logic and rarely only if I feel it is needed be a swatter/spanker. A friend once told me that her mother would be in the grocery store and if they acted up she would get down to their level and say, "I needed to be here and do this right now and you have ruined that for me, because you have ruined something I needed to do, I am going to ruin something that you wanted to do, so the next time something comes up that you would like to be doing you cannot go" And that worked well for them. They learned that being naughty means that mom is upset and we hurt mom. and in turn mom won't allow us to have our fun since we messed it up for her. I really think this type of logic and reasoning. Makes sense to me and I may use some of it. Anyways. I'm kinda middle of the road I think logic and reason are best to try but when that goes out the window a good ol' pop on the rear does the trick pretty well. |

| The thing that worked the most for me was when I was a kid was lost privileges. I got a few spankings in my day that hurt my feelings more than any physical pain. Also, my parents always talked to me about the reasonings behind rules or restrictions, "You can't do this because..." and never "Because I said so" I learned, eventually, that when they said "no" about something, there was a reason and they had my best interest at heart. That is some of what kids today are missing, the feeling that anyone has their best interest at heart. Wanted to add, this was a statistic I read recently in a Teaching article on discipline in the classroom: Our children get to spend an average of 30-60 seconds in meaningful conversation with their parents each day. |

BUT.... in my culture we do "love taps." I'm sorry, I see nothing wrong with this. My mom does it to me, my aunts to my cousins, and now I do it with Kaji. I don't smack him around, or hit him hard, it's a light tap and Kaji always responds with a playful kiss. It's like he's always been Mexican or something, and he understands it's done out of love.

| One more thing...just as positive reinforcement and patience is the best form of teaching/discipline for your furbutts, it would also apply to your skin children. Hitting and violence breeds fear, anxiety and uncertainty.

| I never hit them, Marge never hit them, but boy there were a few times I sure wanted to, especially girls......Loss of privileges, grounding, and talking....and talking. My Dad was old school, so I got whacked, but he always told me that his father was much worse. I knew my grandfather when I was a kid, and he was mean. Real mean. Mean until the day he died. I always said if I ever had kids, I would not be like them. Glad to say I am not. Well, totally not anyway. |
