Do you / would you smack your children? |
Come now, the world is drowning in 'political correctness'. I was brought up by the leather belt, and trust me, when other kids were out smoking / shoplifting / theiving push-bikes, I was right there!!! No I'm kidding, the fear of that belt, kept me well clear of that sort of thing. But many around me did not have a 'father figure' to prevent such idle acts of vandelism and theft, so maybe it was a good thing??? Oh, and if you knew you were 'in for it', life was hell. So if I have kids, I think they 'won't sit down for a week' if I catch them up to no good. I trust there may be many who disagree with me. ... but I'd like to know from those who had physical punishment - did it stop you getting up to crazy stuff? I never smoke, got wailed for drinking at 14yrs once, and attended school everyday, (except for two times). So it must be a good thing, right? I don't think the occasional whack on the bum is tantamount to child abuse. Far to many, so called professionals who don't have kids of their own, are spouting off about what we should and shouldn't do with ours. ADHD is just a modern euphemism for "little brat" And parents who buy into all that crap about letting your kids express themselves, are being walked all over by the" little darlings." Someone made a comment about fear not being a good reason for kids to be not doing something that is harmful to them, but often kids have no sense when it comes to making the right decision, and so what, are you gonna just let them smoke until they realise the error of their ways, or are you gonna stop them by more forceful means in the meantime? Never, I like to use the time out chair. Never got smacked or belted, no criminal record. No, I wouldn't use it. That's why the yobs are running rife in the UK today! No parental control eroded by PC thugs! No corproral punishment in schools erodoed by PC thugs! The same PC thugs who are now blaming PARENTS for all the problems the youths cause! I got smacked, not frequently but sometimes quite severely and in anger by my otherwise very good parents. I made countless promises to myself never to smack my own children and I shall keep my promise to my child self No, never. You don't want kids who don't smoke out of fear. You want kids who don't do the wrong because they know it has bad effects on them. I think that to fear violence from anyone would certainly stop you doing things but it doesn't mean it's good for your personality. I was smacked a few times growing up and I can still remember the fear it brought. When we smack, we're allowing our anger to cloud the judgement of the situation. We're reacting to our emotions rather than what the child has done. Punishment must be consistent and smacking never is. Smacking will happen when parents are tired, have had enough or are in a bad mood or even worse drunk. Clear boundaries need to be set and when they are breached there should be consistent ways of dealing with it. I use "count of three" followed by naughty step for 3 minutes if she still doesn't. This is then followed by an apology from her. |
