re: How do you feel about spanking children?

What message does spanking send to kids? If you do something wrong...fix it with violence.

There are unpleasant consequences for bad actions. Spanking, done properly, doesn't resemble violence and no one is claiming spanking as a fix.

quote:

---

I don't spank my kids and they are very respectful/polite.

Every child is different and there are certainly children with a natural disposition that makes spanking virtually unnecessary. There are also other kids with dispositions that, imo, makes spanking sometimes necessary for effective growth and discipline.

quote:

Parents who spank are either to dumb to out think their kids are don't spend enough time with them to gain their respect.

This is a pretty ignorant statement.

Although I was spanked as a child and turned out pretty decent I don't spank my kids and they are very respectful/polite. Parents who spank are either to dumb to out think their kids are don't spend enough time with them to gain their respect. What message does spanking send to kids? If you do something wrong...fix it with violence. Not the right message.

So would you agree that you have some pretty dumb, shitty, violent parents that you have no respect for?

I sure hope you don't let them anywhere near your kids.
