Pro Spanking Parents

Here Here! A swat on the bottom or hand will not hurt a child. Neither
being sent to their room or put on restriction. If you spank in love, all
is well!

My mother, who is in her fifties, is *still* in and out of mental
hospitals for depression, as a result of the way that she was abused
as a child. And you can bet your sweet ass that my grandfather claimed
to be doing it "out of love". Sure didn't prevent the abuse from doing
*terrible* damage.

I would ask you kindly not to use language in a kids post. Your mother
sounds like she was abused. I am sorry. But I do not think it was a slap
on the hand that did this to her.

I'm a spanking mother but I am also a mother who knows when spanking is
going to work or when taking privileges away will work. If you do love
your kids, you will know what's best for them. However, not all parents
love their kids as much as they love to take their frustrations out on
them. You can abuse a child as much mentally/emotionaly as you can
physically. As a loving parent, you should know the difference between
ABUSE and DISCIPLINE.

Forgive me, but your mother was abused, not spanked.

There is, truly, a difference.

> Aun Aprendo ***** Team OS/Dear Lynn:
I respect the fact that everyone has a right to their own opinion
on all issues. I do however have great difficulty in understanding how
you think that spanking a loved one is o.k.
I have a four year old daughter. She is a typical child with her
bad days and her good days. Just like any human being does. I have
never raised a hand to her, let alone spanked her. I have never
understood the reasoning behind this type of discipline.
I feel that it is all a matter of self control. There are times
when I have definately wanted to spank her. That is when I make an
important decision - either I spank her and vent my fustration and anger.
In this case I may feel better at having relived my tension but I can
only imagine that the guilt of this would be overwheleming. Or I can
send her to her room and walk away for a break. I have always taken the
second choice. This gives me a chance to take a few deep breaths, calm
down, collect my thoughts and decide on how to deal with the situation in
a productive manner.
I feel that spanking a child only shows them that a) adults have
no self control - so why should they b) hitting is o.k. - etc.
Children look up to you as a parent. They respect and love you
even if you do spank them. They follow by example. Every child wants to
be like their parents - especially in their tender years. They mimic
your every action.
I have heard every arguement possible from parents who do spank
their children and I have yet to hear one good reason or example that
spanking a child will make them a better person.

Thank You sandy for your post. And I think its great that you have felt no need to
spank your child. That evidently works for you and That is good. What I would like to
say is that a large majority of parents who do spank, do so only on rare occasions and
as only the most extreme punishments. We feel that only after other forms of
disciplines fail ( and they usually don't) and only then after careful consideration and
warnings. we spank ( open handed on fully clothed butts only) And then never if the
child is either too young or has no comprehension of the offense. That is not to say
there aren't parents who randomly smack their children or that we condone that kind of
actions. But I think that there are probably more parents who spank like I do, little
if at all. At least I hope.
