I believe that when a child does something wrong and a stern talking to doesn't affect their attitude on the wrong decision. Then the next best thing is a belt to the behind. But yeah in all seriousness, when I was growing up, when ever I did something I wasn't suppose to, someone would hit me with either their hand or a house hold item and I learn not do that decision again. I see no problems with hitting children that are not able to understand the bad decision and must be taught through physical pain that you must not do it again. I mean I'm not advocating that you should hit your child if you feel frustrated. I'm just saying that If the child does not understand, comprehend, or just don't give a f ck, then they should be taught that their decision will lead to physical pain. EVERYONE PLEASE HOLD YOUR BIAS AND ONE SIDED OPINIONS FOR I HAVE FOUND THE WINNER OF CHANGE MY VIEW WITH MANY MANY ARGUING EVERYONE I WAS FINALLY SATISFIED BY THE REASONING OF THE WINNER WHICH IS jmsolerm WITH HIS FINAL QUOTES There's no evidence spanking helps in the least. Is it the spanking, or is it the assertion from an authority figure? then they should be taught that their decision will lead to physical pain. Let's call A the assertion from an authority figure and S the spanking. The worst case scenario is just S. I don't think there's any discussion. If A and S are present, it's perfectly possible to have a well raised child. The question is, is S really useful? u monkyyy has already linked studies that spanking is not only useless, but also harmful. What else do you need? You misunderstood me. It's not asserting authority, but asserting from authority. Said authority respect must be earned And again, there's no evidence it's useful in the least. No, no, you're still misunderstanding me The child will behave if the adult has his respect. If the kid respects the adult A kid in a model household, where the parents play with him as much as they reasonably can and should, will obey them when they tell him he's done something wrong. They will use option A, and it will work. Perhaps if they get very mad anxious they will consider adding S will enrich it though it won't . A kid whose parents interact with him the minimum, or poorly, will have little reason to think of them as authority figures. They will be left without option A, and move to option S, which is useless. THANK YOU ALL FOR PARTICIPATING IN CHANGING MY VIEW I'D LIKE GIVE A HUGE SHOUTOUT TO THE WINNER WHO WITHOUT HIS CLEAR AND CONCISE ARGUEMENT ON A BETTER WAY TO RAISING CHILDREN WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE FUTURE ME TO BE KEEPING ALIVE THE OLD TRADITION IN THE FAMILY AS THE FOR SEE ABLE FUTURE. NOW THE CHAIN WILL BROKEN I GUARANTEE IT
I believe that hitting your children is a good form of punishment when they do something wrong.
