A PARENT'S PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY IS TO TEACH A CHILD STRUCTURE, ACCOUNTABILITY, RIGHT AND WRONG (GENERALLY)AND RESPECT..ETC. AND DEPENDING ON THE CHILD ITS EITHER THE CARROT OR THE STICK WITH REASONABLE RESTRAINT. AS A CHILD I GRAVITATED TOWARDS THE CARROT ('CAUSE GETTING SPANKED DIDN'T TURN ME ON ...THEM..LOL), BUT MY BROTHER REG PREFERRED TO GET HIS ASS WAXED EVERYTIME 'CAUSE HE FELT IT NECESSARY TO TEST MY FATHERS EVERY LIMIT.

To speak to Winnie’s point, your punishment – whether a spanking or other form of punishment needs to be appropriate for the offense and for the age group. You can’t beat your child down because he spilled milk on the kitchen table, etc. I do however believe that the wide net of “child abuse” has been cast to include responsible, caring and involved parents who are simply disciplining their children and as a result, society as a whole is cleaning up the mess of children who manipulated the “child abuse” system to get their way. Unfortunately, as Winnie mentioned many of those kids end-up as adults abused by the legal system and their “conpadres” in jail. A good rule of thumb to use is this, “If it leaves a permanent scar, it’s not a spanking, it’s child abuse.” Also, children under five should be disciplined with more care since their attention span is shorter and their bodies are very frail. A simple swipe of the hand from a grown man can kill or maim a two-year old. Most important children should never be spanked while a parent is at the height of anger or frustration. This is normally when good parents are caught-up in bad situations. Otherwise, BEAT THAT AZZ UNTIL THE AIR LEAVES THEM AND THEY HAVE THAT OPEN-MOUTHED-WHERE'D-THE-OXYGEN-GO look.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10988868216271744389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12180121.post-1140791825992177032006-02-24T09:37:00.000-05:002006-02-24T09:37:00.000-05:00I have gone as far as given my children the number...I have gone as far as given my children the number if ever they want to call 1-800-4-A-CHILD.

I have good children they are just mischievious. With my boys (9, 6, 4)I have tried a variety of things. From taking away their favorite toy, or the gameboy or the playstation, to writng a thousand times "I will do my chores". My two youngest have held their arms out until I say put them down. My oldest boy has now been placed in the young marines I am doing that otherwise I will kill him. He does not like his French Immersion school so he is doing everything in his power to get out of it. My daughter is different. She is 12 and she does a lot of mumbling and grumbling. The thing is I have told my children that once they are 18 I am no longer responsible so they have better have a job or join the Armed Forces.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17413292695627539582noreply@blogger.com
