What are your feelings about spanking?

Yes, I do. I spank my kids when I have to. If they repeat the same mistakes although i have explained to them that they are doing something wrong, I spank them to prove that it was something wrong. It works. They won't repeat the same mistake. Or sometimes I give them other phisical punishments, like sit-ups.

well.. as a child, i experienced a lot of spanking.. ^_^ it was horrible cause it hurts, hahaha!! anyway... It helped me become disciplined... ^_^ It helped me gained consciousness of what's ryt and whats not.. It helped me a lot, i can't really tell u everything, hhhahaha.. ^_^ I believe that children, specially americans(hahaha), should be spanked, if, and only if, they misbehave and keeps on talking back at you, cause that's not respect at all, is it?.. ^_^ And the parents should be called mom/dad by their children, cause it sucks when your children call you by your first name... haaha, its like they have no respect for their elders.. ^_^ well, this is just one mans opinion... ^_^

I am against with it. And spanking a children have a side effect and that is not a proper way to disciplined the children. Every children have a unique behavior and a unique attitude toward other. Spanking is not the answer, instead we need to show them the beauty of love and respect, so that she or he know what is a good sign of a good behavior. Beside that we need to show them what we are, if we show that we have a bad attitude, that is an example for them. Having a good parent is having a good children. We are the model of our children and we must show to them.

i'd surely spank a naughty kid, but i would hate to be spanked by anyone even though i was a naughty kid.lol! thats human!1 when you deal with a naughty child, you sometimes get very frustrated and feel like inflicting pain on the child as a punishment...but the psychology that follows is that because you are soo unhappy with the childs pranks, you are angry and that is the reason you want to ppunish the child, and not to reform! so spanking , as many people say is done to discipline the child, is actually done to remove one's frustration....if you have to discipline the child...that can be done in other ways too!

I actually dont know what to think about that, i was brought up the way that mum did spank us when we did something really wrong. But it wasnt od daily basis of course. And here I am, and I`m OK, and I do love my parents very much. So it didn`t affect me at all. But now I have a child of my own and I have spank him once, out of frustration, and afterwards I felt really bad. I have learned that by spanking kids you are just showing them that hitting is allowed and they might learn it, which is not good. Kids always copy parents. But if your child is really naughty and you do give him few warnings and he doesn`t listen, i think spank him once in a long time won`t hurt him. But thats just my opinion.

Well at first, before I had kids, and when I was pregnant with them, I vowed I would never spank my kids. Well all that changed. My kids would get on my nerves so bad and misbehave. I had no choice but to put them on punishment and spank them. I am one of those mothers whom will give my child chance after chance. Sometimes, I really wish I did not spank them. When they do get out of hand, I will talk to them calmly and tell them why I spank them and what they did wrong. The parents that spank their children to the point of hurting them is wrong. If a parent should spank their child let it be without force or harm.
