This attitude, right here, is the problem. So many people have a difficult time seeing the difference between simple spanking (and other forms of physical discipline) and beatings.Shycte said:I'm a bit shocked that people are for corporal beatings. A good parent never needs to beat their child.
Anyway, I'm off to bed, I'll look at this thread in the morning.
Spanking a child is not the same as beating them. Get it through your heads, please.
If you tell a child to go to their room (or stand in the corner or some other passive-aggressive nonsense) and think about what they've done, they're only going to think about how unfair you are and how they might avoid getting in trouble next time. Only a few children respond to this treatment, the rest end up like the kid in the video: self-important twerps with no respect for authority or consequences.
