Do you beat children?

I don't beat children coz i know it will reflects to them when they grow older. Some teachers beat their students to learn,just like my teacher before in elementary,she always beats us without asking her students what happen. Yeah,why don't just tell them with words?i also don't know. Maybe just for their own satisfaction.

maybe I will ,haha,if he do some wrong things,but he can not know his faults and not apologise to me.when I am so angry that I will beat him.now I often see my bother beat me nephew,but it seems that my nephew is not afraid at all,how strange.

Beating is cruelty! I hate anyone who beats anybody who cannot even defend himself! I have children, and if ever I found out that their teachers would hurt them in anyway, I definitely will not put up with it! Humiliating them in class makes me very, very angry, how much more for physical injury! I take good care of my children and do all I can to discipline them without having to hurt them physically. I strongly believe that proper communication and patience is the best way to discipline a child, and definitely not by beating them at all!

I agree with you. It is absolutely wrong to beat children. All you are teaching them is it is okay to hit. I see it over and over again. Parents sit there and discipline thier children with physical punshiment, then they turn around and wonder why thier kids are so violent. Gee, I wonder why!!!! But I will be interested to come back to this discussion to see if anyone will actually admit to beating thier children. Great discussion topic, one I think everyone should read and respond to.

im no parent but i think those who beat their children are idiots and should be punished by the law with 10x the beating that they give to their children.

Well as you say it's not ok to beat children...sounds a bit extreme. However, being a school teacher (for the past 9 years) I have seen how disrespectful many children have become as any appropriate consequence for students engaging in inappropriate behavior has been taken out of the hands of teachers (and I don't mean corporal punishment). e.g. taking aways recess in no longer ok. So, I wonder exactly what teachers are supposed to do when a child spits in your face, kicks you, flips you off, screams at you, and/or never bothers to do his homework. So, no I don't agree with teachers beating children...but I also don't agree with letting teachers be abused daily and/or parents refusing to take some responsibility for their children and their actions.

I am completelly with you. I think you used the wrong word though. There is a BIG difference in physical discipline and beating. I wasn't just physically disciplined as a child, I was beat. Still, I think both are wrong. I will never and have never used physical discipline on my child, and I NEVER would beat him. Even though my son walks all over me, I will never hit him due to the fact that I was beat. It has really effected me and I will NEVER even lay a hand on my child. My husband isn't afraid though to give him a swat on the but when he is being naughty. But he would never beat him. With the discipline my husband gives he, he listens wonderfully to him. My lack of discipline has resulted in a boy who, like I said, walks all over me. I think that a child needs some discipline every now and then, but I will never do it due to my past. Even though me and my husband have different ways of discipline, we both understand eachother, and my son understands to that if he is naughty, he will get disciplined.

no,,, i only beat not cute children
