I think that any kind of physical punishment on kids is messed up. You can punish them verbally and it has the same affect.
I agree with Ellie physical punishment should not be used on children what so ever. The way that kids should be punished is verbally.
Yeah....right. Verbal punishment. When my parent told me to do stuff as a little kid i didn't care, not out of disrespect but because verbal punishment didn't effect me. Maybe it's cause my parents would never use harsh words. But if you do not enforce a physical punishment then you have nothing to back up what you are saying. There is no point in a parent saying, "You'll go to bed without dinner." Like i cared i just didn't want to get spanked, or hit with a belt. If I was told I would be spanked if i didn't do anything i would do it right away! It's not like your beating your kids. A spank isn't really going to hurt them. Physical punishment, within the boundaries, is a much more effective method of discipline.
I think that grounding and other forms of removing privileges is both effective and ethical. The trick is to find out what your kids love and the threat of losing it will keep them in check. Taylor's right, verbal punishment is totally ineffective, unless you're going all out and screaming/swearing and that's no good.
you dont ever touch a child. i dont care what they do, you should never hit your child. period. no exceptions.
I think that physical punishment on children should never be used in any form. There are many other forms of discipline and punishment like grounding, and taking away privileges, that work just as well. You want your children to respect you and not fear you, so when you start to use physical punishment they become obedient out of fear instead of respect and love, which is just sad. I also think that physically punishing a child cannot be good for their self esteem.
I think it really depends on the parent and the child. A little spank never hurt anyone and that it what really made me learn my lesson I was not affected by those words when I was little. You can recover from a spank, but some words can never be forgotten. Words should not be all that was used, my father has told me things in a moment of anger that will stay with me my whole life but I do not have any hard feelings about anytime he hit me. But if the parent is too physical it can turn into abuse. I believe a good parent can us both in safe amounts.
I agree with megan..totally depends on the kid and the parent. Sometimes a parent has to show discipline and not put up with a kids crap and a spanking done out of love and not out of anger isn't gonna hurt the kid. It should definately be in moderation though and other punishments should be used when they can..you just need to know your kid.
I don't think that you should punish your kids that way. I think it is wrong. there are so many people who use it and i think it is child abuse and that they should get in trouble for it. yes they did something bad and need to have a punishment but there are plenty of other ways that you can do that besides hitting them.
I think physical punishment can be useful and productive but I don't think it should be your main punishment. Also you need to be able to control your self if you are going to use physical punishment.
I don't think verbal punishment should be aloud kids all have different personalities I am also not a big fan of physical punishments children all react different to different kinds of punishment
I think that phyiscal punishment is never okay on a child. when children are abuse it lasts with them for a lifetime. there are other logical ways to displine a child this should never be the way
While I know verbal punishment is more acceptable in America, I hear physical punishment is the preferred method in other (Asian) countries. I guess this makes me think there are benefits with both routes, but personally I don't think that either option should be acceptable. People get enough abuse without their parent's help, and there are other ways to learn.
i think that there's definitely a limit to physical punishment. most kids won't listen to their parents when they are verbally punished and it necessarily doesn't always work. a little smack on the bum will do the job in most cases but like i said there's a limit.
I don't agree on physical punishment towards kids at all. I think if a kid gets into trouble they should only be put in the corner or put into there room. I don't agree on any physical punishment.
I think that physical punishment is messed up. When the kids grow up, they will most likely use it on their kids or wife/husband. They also end up being more aggressive and getting into fights. :o
i believe that it is perfectly normal to use physical punishment on your children! as long as it doesnt get to the point to where you are putting there life in danger! but a spanking here and there or a cuff upside the head is good enough! it worked for me!
Physical punishment is ok. Physical abuse is not. They are two different things. It's the same for verbal punishment vs. verbal abuse. It's like perscription drugs. If you use them, you take them according to your doctor's perscription. If you abuse them, you take them more than perscribed. The same thing applies to punishment. If you use punishment in a rational, reasonable way, it's ok. If you use it irrationally, or just as a way to vent anger, that is wrong.
I don't think physical punishment is the best way to go. It just scares the kids. You should use actions for punishment, like time outs or getting sent to their room and what not, but you shouldn't hit them. ANd with verbal punishment, it really depends how you are doing it whether its okay or not...you shouldn't put your gets down, but you should let them know how its going to be if they dont do what you ask.
I believe that physical punishment should not be used as a primary punishment. I would even go to say that it should only be used as a last resort and with a valid warning. For many children guilt or the taking away of privileges will not work so I think that it depends on the child. I also believe that you can raise your children to be effected by guilt to some extent. I feel that my whole family is effectively punished with guilt alone so I feel that my parents had a big part in this. So I do think that if you start physically punishing your children when they are young then that is most likely the punishment that will be effective when they are older.
I believe that physical punishment on kids should not be a regular thing. Verbally punishing your kids can have the same effect as physicallly punishing them. You just have know what works and doesnt work on your child. I strongly urge people to use Verbal punishment.
you should never use physical punishment. you want your children to trust you and not be afraid of you. if you hit them, the bond is weak. you become the enemy.
I think that using physical punishment is acceptable. Bit to a certain point. For instince if Melissa as little kid keeps putting the windex bottle in her mouth and doesn't listen to your previous warning then yeah a little spank is fine to tech them a lesson. But its different then going up to Melissa and just decking her in the face for it! Physical punishment is fine. When you don't exceed the limits though.
Every kid is different every kid also has a form of discipline that would reinforce the rules best. i still dont think that actually hitting a child is a way to do it, even if it does work well, there are so many other options and extremes you can go to first. your kids should respect you not fear you. i used to be terrified of my dad when i was little because the threat of a spanking was always there.
I believe physical punishment is okay, but only if used in moderation. A parent should not be using physical punishment all the time, only in severe cases when it is needed. If a parent physically 'punishes' their child all the time, it can turn into abuse. There are other, more effective ways to discipline children.
I don't believe physical punishment is the right way to discipline children. I would never hit my children because I see no need. Taking away toys, privileges, and giving timeouts is just as effective. I remember my mother spanking me only once when I was little. It was not a good feeling so why would I do it with my children. Taking away things from kids is going to have a longer effect on children then hitting them. Hitting might even have a negative affect on them. Physical punishment is not the right way to go.
I don't think that physical punishment should be used on anyone, especially children. Children can be disciplined in different ways and it'll have an effect on them. But physical punishment should NEVER be used!!!
I think that all forms of punishments are acceptable depending on the child. In most cases the best form of punishment is the removing of privileges. It is safe and very effective. The only time to use physical punishment is if your child doesn't respond to anything else you have tried.
I believe that using physical punishment is perfectly normal. When it gets to a certain point though that's when you really need to be careful. I definately think it's fine though if it's just a spanking every here and there. Sometimes children don't learn any other way.
