I like what you said about it. I think its good as long as its not done out of anger and is controlled. But Obviously you shouldnt beat your kids. I plan on spanking my kids in a controlled mannor and only doing it sparingly

I also agree, i think as long as it's being done to teach a lesson and it's controlled and not out of anger then there is a point where it is useful.
I believe that physical puishment should not be used rashly. I think that the parent should do everything in their power to show control before they physically punish their children. I don't think it is appropriate to lash out in a moment of frustration and without warning.
I don't think that physical punishment should be used often. It does work, but if used over the top it becomes abuse. There are other types of punishment that won't give a child pain but will still help the child learn.
I agree that physical punishment should not be used commonly. Especially when it is just out of your own anger. Personally, I am planning on using a different method for punishing children that does not involve physical punishment. I will only use that as a last resort.
i dont think it should be used on a regular basis but once the kid has learned to follow that pattern of behavior for something of the convenience and words dont make it i think a spank or something related will teach the kid but not to thy extreme.
I would have to agree with most the class that it's alright to punish them that way, as long as it's controlled. I was raised that way to and i turned out just fine :)
I think most of his theories are correct besides the "fact" that everything is sex based. I highly doubt that a baby gets sexual pleasure from sucking their thumb. I get security and comfort but definitely not sexual pleasure
Physical punishment should rarely be used on children. Almost never in fact. This is a very poor disciplinary technique. It may be used for swift judgement but should be out of wanting the child to learn. When physical punishment comes from anger or a loss of patience then it is wrong and the parent should be punished.
our family is italian hawaiian. and i was basically raised in the polynesian culture. physically punishing your chlid only happens when the child disrespects or disobeys there mother or father. and thats how i plan on handeling my kids in the futre, if i ever do get married hahaha
I aree with Kohler. I think that it is ok as long as it is used out of anger and as long as it is controlled. I mean from a parents point of view the only reason I would give them a physical punishment is simply to teach them that it is not ok to do what they did and to simply teach them a lesson. But for no other reason would I do that. I feel like Mr.Fong is reading these thinking "You kids have no idea what you're in for as parents."
I don't think people should use physical violence on their children. I know that I wouldn't because I have a little bit of an anger problem. SO it would be hard for me. I wanna stay away from all of that. But that's just me.
I personally have no problem with physical punishment with children. Sometimes in order to teach a child right from wrong you need to give them a spank. It's just like a dog. When it does something bad you give it a little thump on the head. It is not like your are going to traumatize the child. -Kayson Max
I think using physical punishment is ok sometimes. If you totally beat your child, then it's bad. But if you spank them once for doing something bad, then I don't think that's wrong.
I think that physical punishment isn't really needed. There are other ways to punish children. I guess if it is something not too harsh , it can help with discipline. However, if it gets too far, it is not needed and will make things worse.

I think that physical punishment should almost never be used. If it was an extreme behavior it should be physical, but in all other cases I think that there are ways to punish that work better. While it may vary from person to person, in effectiveness showing disappointment or even the dreaded guilt trip, should usually be enough to reinforce good behavior.
I think that physical punishment should be avoided if at all possible. I think that it should only be used in extreme cases, and in all other cases other methods should be used. I think that there are definitely better ways to punish your children that will let them know their actions were wrong, while not inflicting physical harm on them.
I think using physical punishment is alright sometimes. AS long you can controlled it and it's not done of anger. Because sometimes you well need it to teach them that they were doing wrong and they well learn their lesson.
I grew up on the physical punishment system too, but I have begun wondering if it is a good way of punishment. I have decided that it isn't unless for extreme measures, and even then not out of anger. I believe that if a child is continued on this type of punishment then they will just get use to it and not even feel it anymore.
Personally, I think that Physical Punishment is ok. However, when I say it is acceptable for punishment, I do not mean do it any time you have the chance or out of anger, but for something that is wrong and even unacceptable.
I don't think they ever work. It just makes the child fear you, not obey. I'm more of a guilt-trip type of person! Hahaha!

YEAH!! If my kid crosses me, best believe I'm gonna be going Ms. Trunchbull all over that twit. JUST KIDDING. I am extremely against physical punishment as a method of discipline. I believe that there are better ways of doing things, ways that don't instill a paralyzing fear into the kids. I like how Mr. Fong explained it. If you are punishing your kids out of anger, and not in a calm and reasonable manner, then no good can come of it. I think that when I'm a parent, I might strategically whip out a mild slap on the behind occasionally, but that'll be the extent of my physical abuse. Hopefully.
No way! I would never beat my kids. I think bad behavior should be punished but there are bigger punishments the getting a backhand to the face. I guess I'd just be following in my parents footsteps, because they never physically punished me.
I honestly think that if you can fix a problem without using physical punishment that you should. I think people should stay away from it most of the time.
I do not think that using physical punishment is a good way to discipline your kids. I would just rather avoid it all together, however, sometimes there are those kids who just need to be smacked. Doing it out of anger and frustration is probably not the way to go about it. Controlled and rarely done seems like a much better idea.

I think that physical punisment on a kid can be a good thing. But it also can be a bad thing it depends on what the child has donre to deserve the punishment. SAy you have a kid that is screaming and yelling because he isnt getting his way i think it shouldnt be a problem.
I do not think physical punishment should be used at all. I feel that physically punishing a child is showing that you do not have the patience for the child and you are trying to act out in a way that seems simple and will cause the child to stop misbehaving. In my opinion, I feel it causes the child to develop some degree of fear towards that parent and it will have a long term effect.
