No.

As for corporal punishment, which this thread seems to be focusing on, the use of physical punishment on children leads them to be more violent in their interactions with others. They're more likely to get into fights, bully others, or destroy/deface property.

There are a wide range of ways to discipline a child that don't involve actual hitting.


Like I said, I was spanked as a child, yet I'm the nicest pushover there is. That study doesn't account for others. I'm curious, did you read my post? What would you suggest to do with that child?

It really depends on the kid as an individual and the circumstance of the situation, etc. Usually the thing with "nice" behaviour, in terms of going to your room or think about what you did type scenarios, the parent doesn't make it clear to the child itself - what exactly is the problem and the consquences it brings, not in short term, but long term as well (depending.  It also doesn't help if the kid does happen to involve him or herself in bad situations, yet is always punished the same - like being set to their room for each act.

And I usually find that most parents aren't grounded when they do deal with the situation, they're going off the energy and emotional state their kid put them in at that very moment and that usually doesn't help either side.

Personally, I've only gotten spanked, never got hit or whatever, but my best friend during middleschool got his ass beat by his father, but he also went through some ****ed up situations and plus exterior influences from school and such lead him to a bad path for a while, so I bet those can relate, but again - there are others who can go through the exact same experiences yet turn out totally different.

Individuality.

Plus, I bet most of us weren't that different from when most adults were kids too, it's just all in the perspective of things. I know I did some stupid **** when I was younger, but I also had a decent upbringing, except for emotional and verbal abuse (my mom got the same treatment), but I still think I turned out alright.

Also some Adults need beatings as well as the kids. A few crucifictions will also help matters.

I was raised in a culture where discipline by beatings was much more common than a discipline by talking to. In some places "grounding" didn't even exist. What I am trying to say is some kids would react well to that type of discipline and some other kids won't There was one situation where the kid in beat up his own mom who was attempting to do that. Kids will rebel or conform to the type of discipline

I love it when someone comes in and plops down something they read in a study once. Know what else caused bad behavior? Music, video games, blue M&Ms, Smarties, TV, etc, it's always everyone but the person who raised them's fault on why a child misbehaves. No it's this specific thing that they did, not their parenting style.

Funny thing, when your child reacts in such a way I think it is a sign that you need to show more urgency.

I don't think this is appropriate for discussion in our community.

End of line.
