Topic: Do you think physical force is a justifiable method of punishing children?
Anonymous A started this discussion 15 years ago #7,760
I see spanking children as a form of proper traditional discipline. There is a fine line between spanking children for the sake of discipline and simply abusing children. I would never spank my children using any objects, just my hand. It would also not be painful or have long lasting injuries. This would also be done only on occasions I think my child absolutely deserves it and has received multiple warnings prior.hamfist !!mtq555+/1 joined in and replied with this 15 years ago, 2 minutes later[^] [v] #134,477

Yeah, it's fine IMO. My dad used to do it to me as a kid. It didn't do me any harm. :')

It's necessary for a small minority of children. In most cases, it's lazy and immoral.

I just identify with every child, their innocence, their beauty. I think God is in the face of every child, I don't know why anyone would ever want to hurt one...

I disagree. I think it's quick, effective and causes no harm.
The problem is that many parents don't do it right, and go too far.

Short answer: No.
Long answer: There are always more effective ways of disciplining a child. Always.

This. Smacking your kid is a very short-term solution and encourages further undesirable behavior.
