I was that teen for a long time... I'm still embarrassed by how bad I was. Let me tell you something, young adulthood is a real shock when you've never had disipline. Do you kids a favor and teach them how to obey.

You know, just because you don't spank, doesn't mean their is no discipline. I have never hit my kids, but they are disciplined when ever they need it. Which, now that they are not toddlers, is much easier.


I watched a mom hit her 3 year old with a stick the other day. She was letting him walk around with this long stick, threatening to poke everyone in the eye. When he finally poked his mom in the ass, she ripped it out of his hands and hit him with it. Then he picked up the stick again :shrug: he learned nothing and she looked like a jerk.

I think it is bad in schools now that teachers can not physically contact the children. For example in a fight between pupils. They are not supposed to touch them to restrain them.Crazy. It has got so bad in some schools that pupils have to put their own band aids on.
I think that in schools it is good to 'fear the' principal. I am ashamed to say it I said to my son' ohh I thought the principal looked like she could be scary if she got cross'. I was scared of my principal(or head teacher) and it did me no harm .Made sure I behaved myself... However in the house at home . I would hate my children to fear me. It is tough as I want them to think I am kind and not mean. At the same time discipline is needed......


I do believe in positive reinforcement -praising good behaviour.....

Your kids get treats everytime you go to the store? Mine NEVER get treats - I'm out to shop for the household - not to find things to make them happy in the store and behave properly.

Where did I say they get treats every time I go to the store? Nowhere. I said no treats or purchases that trip. What I meant was, if I was going to buy a t-shirt for them because they needed a shirt and I let them pick it out, well it would go back on the shelf and the next time out I'd pick up a shirt and NOT the same one. My kids definitely know what "NO" means, they hear it often enough when they ask for something.

Doubtful. I can't believe some of these people on here. They won't or don't spank/discipline their children and go along thinking their child is well behaved. The kid misbehaves in school and it's a result of the permissive parenting style that is so prevalent in todays society. Anything the kid does wrong and they will blame it on everything and everyone else, but never look at their parenting and/or lack of discipline. I'm not a proponent of abusive discipline, but a swat on the butt won't damage the kid. If my kid spit, she/he got a smack in the mouth and believe me, it didn't have to be done very often before they learned NOT to spit. Cussing at a teacher or parent? Unheard of. And when I was young, the first day of school, my father told the teacher, "if he's bad, spank him. You have my permission."

some people are too impatient!

I always remember when I was getting something out the cupboard and a glass fell out shattering all over my mum's fish pie that she had spent all day making. Sometimes it is hard!

I think that spanking makes children think it is o.k to spank others-just my thought.

It's not? :confused: That's news to me. :shrug:

But if sports continue this way, according to you, won't kids continue to run around thinking it's OK to abuse their buddy?

a lock on the door maybe......






Any way going off topic and do not want to turn this thread into a silly one as the OP had a serious concern...

A lock ain't gonna stop it from being publicly televised. Not to mention, it's an All-American past-time.

Of course this world is full of contradictions . I guess just explaining the difference. You can see when young toddlers are hit they just copy and do not understand different situations.

Let's get back on topic here. I start out every morning by beating my children. Just for general purpose of course. They need a little taste of what they're gonna get if they act up later in the day. It's pretty effective. :yay:

:bs: It didn't "confuse" me. I knew if I got spanked I had done something wrong and my parents meant business. A swat on the butt does not = abuse but it does get their attention and teach them that mommy and daddy won't tolerate bratty behavior and if they act up in the future, there will be consequences. And don't be embarrassed.....99.99% of toddlers and preschoolers have public meltdowns at one time or another, especially if they're out and about when they probably need a nap. :whistle:

I completely agree. That is the exact reason I changed careers and got out of teaching. The lack of discipline at home nowadays makes it so difficult to effectively teach in school. The children who are well behaved suffer because of the children who do not behave. You spend so much time "babysitting" and teaching manners that were not taught at home, that you can't teach the way you should be able to. Then there are those fabulous parents :)sarcasm:) who find the behavior amusing and do nothing to help the situation their children cause. After all, it wasn't their fault their child was a terror. :rolleyes:

Growing up, my brother & I both knew that if we acted up in school, we were in BIG trouble at home. Were we angels? No. Did we occasionally get spanked? Yes we did, sometimes with the wooden spoon. There is a big difference between abuse and a swat on the butt or hand. For some children, time out works and spanking isn't necessary. For others, time out is a joke. Different children need different discipline methods.
