You're insulting many people who had wonderful parents by saying their form of parenting was low level.


I don't mean to be insulting. That's just the way I feel. I'd like to hear a good argument for spanking. So far I have not.

Other forms of parenting like punishment leave a child to weigh out if the action is worth the sacrifice of an xbox for a few days or whatnot. Plenty of times my buddies would want to do some stupid shite and ask me to get involved with the, "Man I'll only get punished for a few days who cares." attitude. Getting a spanking leaves you knowing exactly what the end result is and in the case of my house there wasn't things worth getting spanked over which caused me and my siblings to stay on the straight and narrow.


What about kids who have a high pain threshold? Meaning that they don't mind the spanking. It's an easy trade-off for them.

So I pose this question, is it low level parenting if the child is successful due to spankings?


I don't know. What if they could have been more successful without the spankings?

This.
Spanking or fear of one has worked on children for generations. The idea that one should "reason" with a child- who lacks the ability to reason- is ridiculous. Should you spank a kid for everything they do wrong? No. But to exclude spankings as a form of punishment is wrong to both the parent and child.

Are you saying that you're spanking your 3-year-old?

This is an assinine statement and you know it. This has to do with a parent/child relationship not a child/friend relationship. There are many things a child can't do to his friend whenever communication fails. Can he take his friend's xbox away for a week? Oh, how about can he send his friend to timeout or to his room?

I got my share of spankings and I wasn't a fighter, although I did take up for myself when I had to.


I wasn't necessarily saying that spanking would lead to a kid being violent, although it certainly could. I was spanked and I did get in a lot of fights growing up, but it's tough to pin down causation there.

Let me ask this - When communication does fail, who bears (at least the majority) of the responsibility? - I'm talking about parent-child here.

Spanking at times is needed. I was spanked as a kid and it was effective. It sucks to have to spank my kids now but sometimes thats what it takes. I can tell you one thing, this "time-out", go stand in the corner bullshite does not work. Take something valuable away from them (which doesnt really work with young kids), put them on their knees or as a last resort spank them. Anyone who says its cruel is a huge vagina.

That would be fine if your parents had the explicit permission of your friends' parents, though I still think it's kind of weird.

Well, you skipped over my questions, but I'll take it back to the parent-child relationship - When communication fails, who bears (at least the majority) of the responsibility?

Same can be said about not spanking. People use the results from children being abused and tie it to spanking. There is a difference in the two.

Both forms spanking and not spanking have their downfalls. As others have stated spanking is one of many forms of discipline and should not be ruled out nor used for everything.

Again parents on here have stated that it works for some of their kids and others it doesn't. Goes along with the many forms of discipline and using what is the most effective for the child. If you had a child who loved being outside and didn't care too much about tv, would you punish him from tv or going play outside? Same can be applied to a child that responds to being disciplined more through spankings than being punished.

This has nothing to do with any of what you just wrote there.

The idea of major improvements in society that was discussed in the podcast is what most appealed to me. That's why I started the thread. I'm not arguing from any textbook stance.

No one is going to convince you and that is fine. Set up all of your grand parenting plans now and how calm and controlled you are going to be in explaining the world to your small child. Bookmark this thread and then come back and laugh at all the grand parenting schemes pre-parent you had.
