Beating Children

[Cinjin]

I can't hit my son. I spanked him once (two smacks on his ass) and it felt wrong so I'll never do it again. Plus he learned nothing from it.

I have found he learns far far more from my inventive punishments. None of my punishments cause any physical pain whatsoever, as I am only trying to correct the unwanted behavior. and guess what - it works. I've been told I have one of the most well-behaved respectful 3-1/2 year olds ever.

Spanking is unnecessary. There are so many excellent ways to teach your children - and lets remember, that's what punishment is supposed to be - teaching.

These days, my son rarely throws a temper tantrum and when he does, it's short lived because he knows he's never going to get what he wants. I never back down and I never ever bluff.



I'm with you Shell B. Kids need discipline, structure and direction. Beatings encourage none of those things. IMO
