It's pretty simple. With actions come consequences. People "whip" their kids because they love them and even at a young age, teaches them that there are rules that aren't to be broken. In the big picture of things, adults have the same "rules" as an adult like a job, finances, etc.. I've seen parents that don't whip their kids or discipline them in any way and the kids walk all over their parents. It's embarassing to watch.

I've seen adults who say they spank or whip their kids everyday. I ask why so much?. They say "it's the only thing that works". I then drop the bomb on them--"If it's the only thing that works, then why do have to spank so much?". I have yet to get a coherent answer from any of them. I chalk it up to someone who does not know how to parent.

You don't know how time out works do you? Its not a choice. Its horrible abuse. Kids should be free to live their lives as they see fit without physical force being used in any shape or form. I'm tired of parents grabbing their kids hand as they cross the street forcing them to keep up and not run away. Horrible abuse.

Another example is not allowing kids to eat what they want. We don't do this to welfare recipients. Pure abuse making kids eat their veggies before they get up from the table. Parents need to learn that kids are individual humans and not their property. If they can't offer an appetizing meal to their kids without taking their toys away or physical restraint, they need to just give the kids up for adoption. CPS has shown they are much better trained than parents to care for kids.

?? Would you be ok with it if i grabbed your arm and dragged you across the street? How is that not abuse??? As you mentioned in the OP, we can't have different standards for kids and adults.

More than 43.
Ah, so a member of the generation who raised some of the whiniest, most self-entitled children in history?

Yea, you guys are really the experts on parenting.

I also mentioned that there is ample evidence of the long term negative effects of corporal punishment. THere is no such evidence in your example.

Hate to break it to you, but that is a fallacy. It might be true today though. By the way, I said MORE than 43, which very well could be 50 or 60.

What's an example of something your kid would have to do to get a spanking? I threw a temper tantrum when I was a kid about not getting a Dukes of Hazard halloween costume, and got my little butt spanked for it. I learned a lesson.

If one of my kids did that now days, easy solution, no trick or treating. (although that would be the consequence given at first sign of a tantrum beginning, and if it continued I'd 100% carry through with it).

Not a fallacy. Scruffy is part of that generation. He knows and calls it like he sees it.

A generation raised without a care in the world because their parents felt it was appropriate to shield them from all the hardships they had to endure.

A generation of individuals who are still considered children far into their 20s.

Pathetic job.

And being 50 or 60 would be fine. Papa and Mama Scruffy are both 60.

I clicked expecting to find data on the negative effects of grabbing a child's arm to pull him out of the street. YOu give me children locked in cages. As I said in the OP, I am not talking about what would be considered abuse.

Here's a hypothetical for you:

Let's say you go to the park with your 6 year old. It's time to leave and the kid throws a fit, screaming, running away from you, maybe he evens starts hitting you.

How do you handle this?

1. Corral him up
2. Take home
3. All privileges gone for AT LEAST 7-10 days if not more. That means nothing but regular meals, hygiene, etc. In other words, he gets to do nothing.
4. After that, he earns one privilege back every 3 days, assuming he behaves, with the most desired privilege coming last.

funny enough, if he starts hitting you, it's probably because you've spanked him before, haha.

As if he's livestock. Geez great parenting. Why don't you just throw him in the wood chipper when you're done.
