How do you feel about spanking kids?
Sometimes it's necessary to discipline them; is spanking the right way to do it?
What consequences do think it'll have later in life?
Were you ever spanked as a kid?
Yes Ive was spanked when I was a kid and I dont see anything wrong with it. I think you need to give a child punishments when they misbehave and rewards when they behave. I dont think you can have one without the other or it wont effect the kid well. As long as its only a slap on the leg or the behind and not someplace like the side of the head and not unnecessarily hard I dont think there should be a problem with it.
Different kids will react to spanking in different ways, but I generally think spanking should only be used as a complete last resort. I was spanked as a kid, and it didn't make me turn out violent or aggressive, but on some kids it could easily have that effect, which is why I wouldn't condone it unless completely necessary. Spanked kids could grow up being conditioned to violence as being a solution to the obstacles they encounter in life, with obvious consequences. Stern words work better methinks.
I was totally spanked. In fact, there's a REASON why I like monkeys so much! Here goes...
Once upon a time when I was a little girl, I was a bad and naughty little girl. :( Yes, I was. Everyone used to come to me and tell me that I was a total little devil and MONKEY! OOOMG! MONKEY!
So I started believing that I was actually related to monkeys, and that I was special...:love: MONKEYS ARE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS! Well, we still have that bond, monkeys and me. :D
END!
everyone deserves a good old spanking sometimes (especially Monkey)
Err, do you realise that spanking is a metaphor for something else? It causes this tread to take on a whole new meaning…
If you did and posted in light of this, then I apologise.
Sometimes I think spanking is cruel, but sometimes I think that kids need disciple. :/
I thought this thread was gonna be about this online game, Spank the Monkey. It's perfectly appropriate, btw, those who never played it. xD
391 is my record for today, but I've scored much higher. :)
Yeah! punish monkey! she deserves to be punished!!
Yes, I think spanking is fine, aslong as it's used within reason. I was spanked as a kid.
And I got an 840.
I think there are other ways of punishment rather than spanking.
There are, most definitely.Quote:

I haven't been spanked since I was four, but then again apparently I didn't need it too muchX.x;
on the bum or back of the hand yes
not beating them to a pulp
My parents never used physical force on me. I only ever had to stand in the corner, and I did. Pretty sure I turned out okay.
I've been spanked on occassions. I was an awful child, I deserved worse than I got. If I went back in time about 5-6 years (maybe longer)... I'd probably hunt down my younger self and give me the beating I so richly deserved.
That being said, I think their are better methods of punishing than a spanking. It's too... violent... and it can lead to more serious psychological/emotional issues. I have nothing at ALL against using pain-responce for discipline, I recommend pressure-point method (clean, easy, quick, and it gets the message across DURING the bad behavior, not after, which sets it in the child's mind far better).
