after the first time or two the kid usually doesn't push far enough to get spanked anymore. They know you will go through with it and will usually stop at a warning.

If I hit you or done something that warranted being hit then go right for it. I'm all open, I'll even bend over the chair for you. But for rude words or minor bad behavior there are more creative ways of dealing with it. Spanking should be done less than 3 times the kids entire life...

and that's how I feel. If a person has kids that can be managed through time outs and bribery then awesome. Your kids are doing great! Keep up the good work and I hope for you continuing success. But for the few cases where the kid doesn't take those consequences seriously, the parents...

when it comes to medical, weight is often the thing that gets the most picked on. your skin could be green and these people would still pick on your weight. Anything from water retention to hormones could for you to gain weight and it won't matter how you eat. But it is still a good idea to...

One should never spank when overly mad or frustrated, that would be almost a guarantee that you would hurt someone. Spanking should only be done by a calm person without a bad temper, and if you don't have control over yourself you shouldn't have a kid. If I had to resort to spanking that...

some kids will continue to push until there is nothing left to take away, and that's when I start on the spanking. Try everything else first, make sure to let them know when their being good and reward them for the good. (most parents forget to reward) Start teaching early, and always warn...

*nope your boss fires you, but you can't fire your kids. odd thing is though I can't remember what I valued as currency. yeah I probably had one but for the life of me I can't remember what it was. up until age 15 when I got a job of my own, other than the clothes off my back and the food on my...

I just watched a super nanny episode where she did that. Public time outs usually do work. I mean what kid wouldn't be embarrassed? It's possibly situational (sp?) as well. The public time out was probably more effective than a private one or a spanking because of the embarrassment factor. It...

yeah a kid could be reacting to something the parents or environment is contributing to and it would be very beneficial to work with your kid to help them resolve the issue or learn to deal with the issue but sometimes that can't be done. The brain of a kid is not fully developed and sometimes...

How about using positive reinforcement with punishment as well? I think kids should be praised for when they do well, but at the same time realizing that actions have real consequences. Some kids don't take time out seriously. They get praise and such when they are good, like what is supposed...

I always thought that a misbehaving kid in public was a sign of weakness of the parent. What ever works for your kids will work for your kids and even some other kids. I congratulate you on having well behaved kids, but each kid is different. The kid down the road may need a different form...

I would love to see them in action working. I too often see first hand the damage done by kids not taking the punishment seriously or the parents not following through on the punishment. But I will honestly say I would try everything I could find first before spanking.

normally I would agree with you on that point but when everything else fails I would rather tap my kid on the ass than to have a brat who is out of control. I would consider spanking a less of 2 evils. edit, either that or send them to army boot camp for the summer and prey that will...

there's a difference between a spanking and a beating. One shouldn't hurt that much and the other is illegal and dangerious

My life is pretty much the same, and I would like to argue that possibly people who were spanked have a higher IQ and common sense! A lot of the kids I graduated with weren't spanked. Out of everyone the kids who were spanked accomplished more than the ones who weren't. But that's a very small...

maybe he was a bit extreme but he had tried taking it away before and she was not getting better. other than that I agree with most of what you say

Drunk and mad is a very bad combination.

maybe I'm controlling too because if my kid ever done that to me, my fiance, and my friends, using property that I maintain and I bought while still living under my roof. You can sure bet the computer would be gone. The bullets are for shock value, some kids need the shock value to understand...

he had a sexual fetish for people who wear hearing aids or who can not hear as well as the general population. He did not care about personality, he only cared that I cannot hear well. The fact that I read lips most of the time and cannot understand people unless I face them is a huge turn on...
