Discipline is necessary

i started getting my bare bottom whipped. at age 8 from my stepfather.he whipped me until age 18 sex never ran thru his or my mind.the whip was used to modify bad behaveior on my part.beleive me after a whipping i changed .

Spank under ten. Water board over ten.

Lethal injection over 18.

Has anyone thought about puberty?I don't think you should spank a kid over ten just because of that fact.

Your post is written extremely strangely.

Getting to the bottom where a person sits is the spot that needs to be reached. The parent can see the strawberry shade of the bottom and know when to stop.

are you foreign or crazy?

I received spankings and they worked like a charm. I'm now an adult and healthy, wealthy and wise...no harm done lol. But I do believe that if there are other methods of disipline that work then they should always be used first.

Who said anything about hitting a "kid" or a child. Yelling at a child is a bad. Ever hear of "mental abuse"? Yelling and name calling can cause that. I hate being yelled at. I never said anything about hitting a child. I said pre-teen,teenager or young adults who have never paid attention to well meaning parents who love them.
Discipline starts when the child is young. The word discipline also means training. Education is training. "Train a child in the way that leads them in correct ways, and they will not depart from it".

I agree. I have being yelled at and I usually will not and do not respond to anyone who yells at me to this day.

A child needs loving and understaning parents. An irresponsible parent needs the discipline, not the child.
And I totally agree with the hitting being wrong and on so many levels. I don't want to be hit and therefore I do not want to hit someone.

Hitting and yelling - forget it. It is not discipline, doesn't work & risks making things worse.

Would you yell & hit in adult relationships? No. You'd look like an out-of-control idiot and lose any respect - & if you hit people, would be charged with assault.

Kids need discipline; not undisciplined parents who lash out & scream. If you are losing your cool then take a time out. Learn how to understand, redirect and teach kids. It is non-violent and works.

no never hit a kid please not even spanking. please dont, as a kid who suffered from abuse i see how spanking is better. But omg just seeing this question freeked mme out a little anyways try yelling at them that works way better for quilt while be hit or spanked would make anyone else angry.

Discipline is necessary to some extent. SPANKING a child is not a form of discipline because if a parent spanks a child as a form of discipline, you will expect a repulsive child or a child with mixed feelings in the future. It DOES happen and nobody is gonna debate on that because its a fact. And by the way, the old ritual to punishing a child telling them 'go to your room' NEVER works. Before you do that, take in consideration that what you are doing is actually taking them back to their and entertain themselves. Why? Because they have a computer, mp3 player, radio, game console, etc. So before doing that, take all of that out and make them stay there for at least 30 minutes. Don't be compulsive though or it will worsen the situation.

I have never "WHIPPED" anything. The only true purpose of a whip might be used in an orchestra for a sound such as in:"Sleigh Ride". Or a horse trainer snaps a whip just get the horse's attention. (After all a horse has the mind of a two year old,a very smart, high spirited two year old).

The term "spanking" in my interpretation of it is discipline given to the bottom most region of a person's body and by the hand. I am not even talking about "a rod" as suggested in the old testament of the Bible. "Spare the rod,spoil the child".

I never said anything about spanking a child. Child meaning; one who is considered a minor. An eighteen year old for a girl is not a minor. An eighteen year old boy, though still sometimes considered a minor, may be refered to as an adult.

If young adults have not used their knowledge given to them to the age of eighteen, then a spanking on the place designed for such an action might save their lives. An undisciplined person is not able to fully function as a responsible, mature adult and is able to bring harm to themselves and to other people.

Now days when children, teenagers and young adult go uneducated by their parents as to correct behavior, these children end up as wards of the state, taken away from the parents who do not take full responsibility for them,(no matter what they do). Now is this fair to the child or teenager who are minors with very little say as to where they live when their parents ignor them?

DISOBEDIENCE is the core of all sinful,wrong, and profound behavior. Parents are given children to raise up to be responsible, mature adults. If they do not have to spank them, that is good. It would be a last resort, even for the young adult still living at home.
Beatings, whippings, canings, and harsh handling was never proposed in my first writing.

"I should feel ashamed to die surrounded by children I had whipped. Think of feeling upon your dying lips the kiss of a child you had struck."

I wouldn't. I couldn't hit a child, just because I'm not that cruel, and I wouldn't hit my teenager because at those ages, he's old enough to reason and think without violence. Non-violence is a virtue we strive to instill in our children, isn't it? Are we hypocrits?

Since when is discipline and corporeal punishment the same thing?

They're usually mutually exclusive.

Good luck giving your children that strawberry hue.
