Spanking doesn’t improve a child’s behavior or social competence -- it can make behavior worse.

[prime]

My dad used to whup me and my brothers asses when we acted up.

But then he learned something even more effective just deny us our games console or being able to play outside for 2 weeks.

He would leave the games console in clear view but he'd hide the controllers, the TV connector and power plug.

Knowing that instead of a quick ass beating that would be over in a minute or two it would be two weeks of no gaming. It was hell on earth.

This was pre internet as well.

With the amount of distractions kids have these days I would make sure they feel that instead of a whuppin.

I was just going for type this my mom and dad would take my tv PlayStation and N64 a niqqa would be in his room like or my dad would make me squat holding a big azz pot of water those work better than the whoppings my grandfather gave me after a while they didn’t hurt anymore

Spanking can worsen a child's behavior and do real harm, study finds - CNN

Physical punishment does not appear to improve a child's positive behavior or social competence over time, according to a review of 69 studies from the US, Canada, China, Colombia, Greece, Japan, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom

The review, published Monday in the journal Lancet, found physical punishment such as spanking is "harmful to children's development and well-being," said senior author Elizabeth Gershoff, a professor in human development and family sciences at The University of Texas at Austin.

"Parents hit their children because they think doing so will improve their behavior," Gershoff said. "Unfortunately for parents who hit, our research found clear and compelling evidence that physical punishment does not improve children's behavior and instead makes it worse."

oh no you didn't ....

you brave !

Next question…

‘If spanking isn’t effective why is that their method of behavior correction as a society. What do the cops do when you don’t follow the society’s rules?

I'd bet the vast majority of prison inmates were beaten as children.

well if they weren't beaten they would have ended up in prison.

so beating helped them.

I see all the anecdotes are in full swing.

Corporal punishment as a main tool for discipline is low IQ and people who can’t communicate with their children. Just because your parents have always done it, it doesn’t mean you have to perpetuate their poor habits. Keeping it a buck there are too many parents who take their frustrations out on their kids by hitting them.

I can tell when parents don’t spend enough time with their kids or give them enough structure.

Kids really don’t have that much energy. It only seems like that in a chaotic environment.

Put some actual thought and structure behind your relationship with your kids and they’ll be too tired and focused to need that kind of “discipline.”

Sports imo is the easiest way to teach your kids self discipline. Then teach them how the rewards translates into civil life.


Too often kids know how to practice for hours alone to drop buckets for an audience, but don’t know how to do it academically or conversationally.

In sports, I think, that gratification comes from an objective audience.

you don’t have that objective audience in the home often times simply because of jealousy


I think, ultimately, hitting your kids may give the illusion of discipline when really it robs them of their ambition and their need for attention.

Kids have to be taught how to gain attention in constructive ways, not to stop seeking it altogether.

 

[Listen]

I understand why people who had hands laid on them as kids would stand up for it: You love your parents, you feel like your OK now, and if anyone tried to say shyt about my mom or dad being a bad parent id stand up for them too.

What I don't think people understand is that kids of every race/color/creed spend their entire childhood learning to test boundaries and build their independence and unfortunately some parents think "What happens if I talk back?" deserves the same answer as "What happens if I touch that hot pan?" for their kid to learn a lesson.

Children also tend to gravitate towards the stress level of their environment, so its much easier for my kids to be calm and relaxed if they grow up in a calm, relaxed environment, and that's easier said than done from growing up poor, to broken homes, abusive homes, hoods etc.

I say all this as my mom used to work at Perkins School for the Blind and in child care after that for 30 years, so I tried to listen to what she had to say on the matter.

[Sad Bunny]

oh no you didn't ....

you brave !

Huh lol?

 

[Rekkapryde]

Spankings should come with instructions and explanation for the punishment

Church.

I always made it a point to explain before, during, and after the asswhupping to have my sons tell me why they are getting that work. I give them so much leeway to get their shyt together and try other shyt like taking privileges before we get to the point that the belt gotta get involved.

I thank God for my whoopings from my grandma. I ain’t read this whole thread so idk if someone else brought it up, but physical punishment is just a controlled taste of real life repercussions.

I don’t believe in whooping a kid for any ol thing. But when I opened the car door on the expressway, I deserved that whooping. I didn’t even realize I could possibly fall out the car and get my damn head ran over.

When I snuck out the crib to watch cable at my friend’s house, I deserved that whooping. I wasn’t even thinking about the possibility of getting kidnapped.

Sometimes as kids you just don’t understand the gravity of your decisions. It takes maturity to understand, but until then that ass whooping was a great reminder of my bad decision making, and kept me from making poor choices.
