Spare the rod, spoil the child

As in that's the only TYPE of breakfast. I assume

Hey, hey, I'm not saying it's not a solid idea, and it's a tool in my kit as well. I just wanted to provide an alternative to the echo chamber. I could add conditions and modifiers to spanking as well. No matter what modifiers I add, I'm still spanking their asses; and withholding food is still forcing compliance by means of hunger.

Rhythm sugar honey baby cakes, no. She's not saying withhold food. She's saying eat your cereal now or you're going to have cereal every day for breakfast for a month. That isn't forcing compliance by means of hunger.


My older 2 kids have struggled with the food thing so much. They're both tiny and they don't like to eat. It's not that they're picky they just don't eat. My initial plan was to never force eating. I don't think it's healthy to make a kid eat when they're not hungry. Then my kids had to be put on medication that increased their appetites. They had strict diets and they had to eat all of their food so they'd have the right calorie intake. It was a huge struggle for a long time. I never considered any form of discipline in this area (maybe I was/am wrong for that I don't know), but as it's a health issue and not as much a behavioral one (May have been somewhat behavioral who knows) I just struggle through it trying to be positive about it.

Being a parent is not easy. No one has all the right answers. You just have to find what works for your family. If a light spanking is what works, well it makes me sad but I will try super hard not to judge you. If you take it beyond that (hard spanking, paddle, bare bottom, belt) well I consider that child abuse.
