Do you thinkits ok to spank your chldren? In the next five years the law is talking about any forced pain or "spankings" will be punishible by time in jail. Im sorry but if my son is gonna be a little...well you know hat... im gonna bust his little hynie, or smack his hand. That is what is wrong with the world today, kids arent disiplined as they should be, when i was young im sorry to say but if I ever bad mouthed my parents I had better expect the out come wasn't ganna be good. I think kids getting "spankings" is not wrong at all to a certain degree, i dont think they need to be"beat" but they do need to have some fear that they are kids and they need to obey their parents because in todays world its hard to say, but kids and teenagers run the damn world

Send me to jail if you have to, but my children will get the discipline they need. I refuse to let my children run over me and the whole time out thing doesn't work with my son. He's 3 and it'd be easier to face a bull in the arena than his stubborn self. Guess he got that from me, but he will do as he's told or get his but popped. I agree with you, I don't beat my children but I do show them that my word is the law they have to live with.

if we do not teach them to respect our authority when they are children, how can we expect them to respect the authority in this world as adults?

Spare the rod, spoil the child. Words to live by. i got my butt busted and you can bet my kids did. They are responsible adults now that know there are consequences for everything. Knowing that you may get a hand on your backside for doing something you are not supposed to do is a great deterrent.

lol
You are right in one thing, kids and teenagers runs this damn world.
But one must ask is physical pain the only way to discipline a child? Cut on his allowance, if the child misbehaves, or make him do something he does not like. And why don't we just forgive them for the mistakes they make.
They are young, and youth must be able to excuse them from may things.

And my parents never inflicted any type of physical pain to me. And I turned out alright. I am a responsible adult now. And if I ever have any kid, I would never use force.
