Do you spank you child?

i dont have any children but i dont believe in spanking them. sometimes i think that if you spank them they might be more rebellious or hold a grudge against you for doing that, like it will mentally affect them. i dunno. i think there are many other ways that you can discipline your child besides spanking, right?

I don't have any kids obviously, but if i did i wouldn't hit or hurt my children in anyway possible, simply because i don't believe in it. Yes, i know children will need some discipline, and so they know they cant get away with things, but i don't think hurting your children would actually solve anything, i think it would only make matters worse. So, if i had children and they did anything bad, i would simply take something from them for a few days like a game, mobile, wii, whatever till they learn their lesson. Its better, than using violence in my opinion.

This is absolutely the way my parents brought three of us. But somehow we are so sensitive three of us that even if someone speaks loudly to another we feel they are fighting and distance ourselves. While my cousins who were brought up with stick in hand are better off as they are rough and tough and are able to face the world in a better way.

I think the way you explianed it is very lovely. I would do the same (If I had kids). Just take away like their ps3 or maybe their Wii or whatever they most like. They will then get better eventually by saying sorry and maybe even doing the chores. There is no need to hit your child and letting him be bruised if you can do it the easy way.
