You should only use it very sparingly and not with a split second decicion. You should also be able to control your temper. If you cant do this then you shouldn't spank your children.
I think using physical punishment is good and bad. it can be used but not all the time. my dad would use physical punishment with me but only enough to keep me from doing something that i shouldn't. it made me scared that he would spank me so i wouldn't break the rules.
In general I am against physical punishment on children. I think there are too many people that just can't control their temper. And there are also enough other ways of raising your kids, to teach them rules and behaviors. I don't want my children to live in fear of me, I don't want them to obey because they are scared. Either they obey because they trust me or they find out the hard way. I want my children to learn to live with the consequences of the decisions they make. If physical punishment is unavoidable it should only include spanking and not the use of harder objects! I

I personally don't agree with physical punishment in at all. I think that spanking children or any type of physical punishment is telling the child to fear their parent because their parent is bigger and stronger then they are. I think that if parents just let their children know that if they don't do certain things or if they do something they are not supposed to do that they will be punished like being grounded or having something taken away is a better punishment then hurting their child.
Physical punishment has its pro's and its con's. Sometimes it's an ok thing to do to get your point across, but to do it out of frustration is not ok.
I am against physical punishment. If punishing your child by hitting them is how they learn then I think that they will be scared to do anything in there life. They will always be afraid to do something because they have been punished that way.
I think its not good for parents to hit their children if they do something wrong. they are children they don't know what good and whats bad yet. If children do something bad its best to just send them to their room or tell them what they did wrong so they know that its not right.
I don't think that one should. I think there are other ways of teaching children that work just as well, and physical punishment has too much of a risk of going wrong, in a manner of speaking.
I think that in most cases its not right to use physical punishment on your children. There are plenty of other ways to punish your children and if you are not able to control your temper then you should always resort to a "non physical" punishment.
I think there is appropriate times to use physical punishment. When its out of pure frustration or anger, it can be a very bad thing. But in some what of a way, I see it on the same level as yelling at a child. If you spank the child to prevent him from doing something, not out of anger, he'll probably stop. Its almost the same at screaming at the kid to get him to stop doing something.
I would be somewhat against it, but if i had to i would punsish my child. I wouldn't go to the extream just a small punishment, it is how I was raised.
I am completely against physical punishment. There are so many different ways of punishing children that a parent should not resort to physical harm. I think physical punishment is a result of anger and frustration and not a good way to teach a child. It only results in fear.
Child abuse is a terrible thing, but I think that physical punishment can be appropriate and can help mold great characters. If the true goal is to raise children to greatness then some appropriate classical conditioning will be an invaluable learning experience. I am pretty sure that George Washington, Abe Lincoln, and Buddha Smith were spanked as small children.
I think that physical punishment on children can be a positive thing and it can help teach them right from wrong.I think that it can get out of hand though and that if someone is known to be aggressive and they have a hard time controlling their temper then this form of punishment is not the way to go.
I think there's better alternatives than using physical punishment to teach your children right from wrong. Often when people use physical punishment with their children they are doing it out of pure anger and they're not in control when they use it. Therefore i believe they should refer to other forms of punishment but not physical.
Physical punishment should be used sparingly as Chris said. I also think that it should definitely not be done in anger, you should be in control if you are physically punishing/teaching your children. It should also be done at home, not in public.
I think its okay if its used vary sparingly and never out of anger. I would never use it on my kids, but I wouldn't be upset if their mom spanked them or something, as long as its not a reaction or out of anger.
I am for the most part against using physical punishment on children. I think other methods should be used. I think that physical punishment is done out of anger a lot of the time and the results are never good ones and it is something a parent would regret later in life.
I agree with the majority of the class. I think that physical punishment is ok if it is done with full control. However I think that a more affective way to teach and disipline is by giving rewards. I have seen this with my little brother. He doesn't respond and learn from being spanked, but becomes bitter and trys to bring others down with him. So instead if you tell him he will be rewarded after being good for a whole week he responds very well. So all and all I think that physical punishment can be used when done in total control and NOT out of frustration or anger, and I think that other forms of disipline should be used over spanking.
Physical punishment shouldn't be used. there are some people out there that can't handle themselves when they start and that can get really dangerous. I think when "teaching your kids" you need to talk it out with them, and let them know what you did wrong, not punish. If you do physical punishment you're just going to make them scared of you.
i dont think parents should use physical punishment because that doesnt make the parents look good, but other ways are acceptable. like taking away privilages or etc. but other people have their own ways of doing things. others may not like it but so what. people usually do things how they were brought up as a kid or growing up.

i believe that physical punishment should only be used as a last resort, and never used in anger. my parents spanked me as a child and it worked for me.
i like what Chris said about not making it a split second decision. but i would let them know that i would hit them before i do it. so instead of a negative punishment, it would be like what you said about negative reinforcement.
I don't like it at all, but I guess threats and a little spanking as a little baby to make them realize they did something wrong is alright. But you should never, never use it to gain respect and make your children fear you. If you do that I think you are doing something wrong. But a little poofh when you do something wrong or don't listen to get their attention; why not.
