Is the lack of old fashioned spankings the problem with our youth now a days? When I was a kid... you did wrong and you got a spanking.... Now there are no consequences for bad behavior, unless you call TIME OUT a consequence. Now don't fly off the handle at me... I'm not saying beat kids and all will be well. I'm just saying sometimes a few swats would stop alot of bull that parents have to deal with today.

i have 2 kids of my own they are 15 and 12, i have 3 step kids 7,6,5 and i have never hit my kids and never will, maybe its cause i know what its like gettinhg hit but its not the answer, your right time out doesnt always work. this works for me... if they have a gameboy put them on gameboy restriction or computer time restriction early bedtime,,this works for me and i dont hit my kids either does my boy friend. we dont believe in hitting kids if there is another way to show them its wrong dont do that.

That might work for now but when they get older, they are just not going to care if you take something away. This could leave them in walking out. Spanking your kid let them know your in control nhot them, espically when they are out of line.

I belive soem kids just need it until they realise that if the type of behavioor is unacceptable but you should try other means first like tone of voice adn if you are consistant with were the line is for behavior it makes it easier for them to but as a parent you also have to be disciplined that if you decide it si unacceptable one tiem then is has to be unacceptabel all the time or you are jhsut sending mixed signals.

I totally agree with you. My daughter has a 2 year old and it always I am going to give you a time out. You can't hardly spank a kid in front of anyone anymore cause someone will report you for child abuse. I spanked mine when they did wrong and I thinked it helped alot. Kids know they can get away with it so they do. Like you said we don't beat them just a good swat on the behind and I think it hurts there feelings more than anything.
