The old spank debate.
There really isn't a definitive right or wrong answer here. Spank isn't "abuse." However, beating is. Use your judgement, you'll know (and most parents should) if you've crossed that line or not. Personally, I don't spank my boy. For one thing, he has autism and would only understand that I had hurt him, he would not be able to put the two together. I have no choice but to use positive reinforcement, but I like it that way. (I'm also very blessed to have a reasonable child - especially considering his diagnosis). There has been times when Israel is completely out of control (at Target, for example, he expects to walk out of the store with an Xbox or Gamecube game every time we go). Just not going to happen. I have literally left my shopping cart in the store, put him over my shoulder and walked out. I didn't neccesarily "spank," but I did use force. Is that abuse? I certainly think not. |

Use your judgement, you'll know (and most parents should) if you've crossed that line or not. certainly think not. Yeah, I agree. Spanking young children (4-7) doesn't really do much because they'll just see it as their parents being mean to them... At least, that's how it was for me. I'd continue to misbehave even if I was spanked, but I'd try to avoid the spanking part. So .. the question is, "Does spanking actually help?" And the answer is yes and no. It scares the shit out of your children, so they don't want to misbehave again, but ... it's not really a good solution because they're not learning anything. A lot of the time, spanking is just a way for the parents to relieve their stress and anger from what the child has done. I think a good, calm sit-down and talk about what the child has done and what they should do in the future would be a lot better. Or maybe a time out or grounding or something ... but spanking is so obselete. |
