Ok, so I need to vent. I was driving back from the grocery store the other day, and I saw a father yank his son by the arm so hard, then whack him on the bottom as the child screamed...it was all I could do not to cry. What is wrong with people???????
A quote from The Children's Hospital Guide to Your Child's Health and Development (Children's Hospital, Boston):
"The more children are spanked, the more anger they report as adults, the more likely they are to spank their own children, and the more likely they are to approve of hitting a spouse. Spanking is also associated with higher rates of physical aggression, more substance abuse, and an increased risk of crime and violence"
Let's end the cycle people - geez!
Ok, feel better now. |

| im not sure i agree i had my butt paddled quite abit as a child because i was unruly and im not an angry person. no the whole jerking the child by the arm is wrong. if you spank a child on the butt when their in diapers or pull ups they arent going to feel it unless your beating them. i have dealt with some extremely horrible children because their parents are against discipline they reason with their children. i have to say i have some non pyhsical forms of discipline though. like kneeling and having your arms straight up in the air do that for about thirty seconds. 1 it tires them out so they wont want to resume to be bad and 2 it is non pyshcical. i remember on many occasion doing that for as long as an hour. parents today are to soft which results in unruly children if parents were a bit more strict then we might not have as many youth issues as we do. i for one am not afraid to discipline my child or my nieces and nephews. a perfect example is i was in target one day with my older sister and her boys and the middle one for no reason what so ever bit me so ard he drew blood. i popped him on his butt not even that hard and a woman called the cops on me exclaiming i was beating this poor little boy. my sister at this time was in the bathroom while i watched the boys and the buggy. the cops came as my sister came out and wanted an explination which i supplied and the woman went on about how i beat the child. when i showed them the bite my sister ws ready to paddle his butt to we spent the next five hours in the er waiting for me to get the seven stivhes i required to lose the wound. now i could have lost my temper and beat him but a simple swat got the point across his explination ( he was two at the time ) was he was hungry. he chews on everything including his bed. but the point is discipline should be given in the right dose for the right problem. if the child does something minor timeout should suffice. parents need to understand what enough means and should never try to pyshically harm their child. which i think is the real problem when harm is the intention not discipline. |
