Once a common way to discipline children, it has become criticized by many people. I am talking about a spanking, not a beating. A swift swat on the hindside to punish bad behavior. It's obvious that time outs and other forms of...

barefoot48066 @DWDavis Not every kid needs spanking to stop at exactly the same developmental stage. It depends on the kid and on the parents' expectations.

barefoot48066 Abuse is bad, a good sound spanking that just leaves them with a sore behind and a deflated ego is not bad at all.

Parenting practices have changed, at least in the US, since many of us were kids. My parents were far from abusive (though I did call the police once when they told me to go to my room), but I do remember an occasional swat on the...

barefoot48066 The Gulf War was fought with the approval and under the auspices of the UN. The idea that a cease-fire agreement overrules both the UN Charter and a subsequent Security Council resolution to "remain seized of the matter" is risible.

barefoot48066 Actually Julian it is not yet illegal in families in the UK, despite the best efforts of the anti-parent lobbyists. You can go to any anti-spanking site and find out for yourself.

barefoot48066 I was always bare butt spanked and rarely if ever experienced more than temporary redness that faded. That may not hold true for every child. But it is not the case that if you bare-butt spank your child you are going to bruise them. A red bottom that fades...

barefoot48066 The last resolution adopted by the UN prior to the invasion was Res. 1441 which stated that the UN Security Council would "remain seized of the matter"--hardly an open invitation to a free-for-all--and even that would not have been passed if the US and UK had...

barefoot48066 It simply isn't true that all spanking is illegal in the UK. You need to talk to actual police or attorneys and not just get all your information from the gutter media.

barefoot48066 It would be maddening to be in the position of the parents in such a case, but people can't just go around dispensing their version of justice willy-nilly and ignoring the law. If everyone did that, the world would be more of a madhouse than it already is. The...

barefoot48066 I think it's wrong NOT to give kids who are at least school-age chores. Kids need to learn how to work, and the earlier the better. Chores ought to be part of living in the family and ought to be separate from any allowance you may choose to give the kid.
