How will you punish your child?

[monk3y]

I was brought up in a very disciplined household. I was spanked when I did things wrong. Though I hated getting spanked at the time I think it was pretty effective in the way I am ending up. How do you think you'll bring your child up?

 

[minendo]

My parents never hit me and I will never hit my children. I am unsure of how I will handle problems, but it will probably be through talks and timeouts. That is exactly how my parents handled the many situations I created and looking back at it now I find it to be very effective.

Grounding for small things. Spankings for large things.
Backed up on a foundation of love, making sure that "my child" knows that I love them reguardless.

don't hit them... that's just cruel,

just show a sense of genuine disappointment, yet be nice... my mom and I communicate in a way where it's assumed she has authority, not by any physical violence, but by MUTUAL respect.

Children understand that when they misbehave their ass gets smacked. That does not mean torture or physical abuse, but a stinging reminder that they were told not to do that.

i was spanked but i don't think i'd do that to my own kids. i believe in timeouts or taking away privileges.

 

[Ornery]

God, so many people equate discipline with punishment! To make a long story short, it's a matter of consequences. You make a choice, you deal with the consequences. Same with kids. Obviously, some people make spanking a consequence, but that's pretty barbaric. If you start kids out right, the consequences will be rational and so will their choices.

Study about Maria Montessori and what discipline really is.

Oh good, another thread where the children and the childless on ATOT try to tell the parents of ATOT how to do their child-rearing. This is always good for plenty of laughs as the ignorant come out of the woodwork and start to blather. BTW on the infrequent occasions when I think they need it, I spank my children and I don't care what you think about it.

Spankings and getting grounded.. If it's something serious, things will get taken away

my dad used to beat the piss out of me when i was a child. i don't even mean like a smack or spank, he just flat out used to punch me. it wasn't very fun, nor did i learn my lesson. it just taught me that my father was a scumbag.

i'm never having kids.

That is not discipline, that is physical abuse.

[pyonir]

lashes with a wet noodle. depends on the offense as to how many they recieve.

if that doesn't work...beat the living crap out of them with an extension cord.







settle, i'm kidding. i don't know. i'll tell you when i get kids and have to make the choices. i don't even want to think about it now.

 

[GrumpyMan]

I don't consider spanking on the bottom hitting. Timeouts and talks = useless.

A warm Bath and a car battery did wonders for me.

I find spanking to be the most effective method for dealing with a toddler that is being unreasonable.

How come there has to be so many ignorant, embittered old men out there. Understand that there are methods outside of violence that can get your message across equally effectively. My mom was able to do it using her mind rather some paddle like you. I would honestly hate to be your kid and feel much sympathy for him/her.

Do you have kids? No? Then know your role and shut your hole.

 

[ed21x]

nah, i treasure the relationship between me and my parents. as a product of their upbringing, i will have accomplished more than you and your kids ever will. I doubt your kids will ever say say that about you.

spanking is ok but not to the point of abuse. I mean a 3 year old kid won't know nor will he remembered doing something is wrong unless you softly spank him or tell him not to do it again. Its tough being parents. I was never abused by my parents but I did get spanking for showing no respect toward others. Discipline is build from training your kid in the right direction. Giving them the respect you would gave yourself. Its a two direction road i believe. Also kids learn a lot from their parents especially during age 1-3. So do spend lots of time with your kids but DO NOT, i repeat DO NOT spoil them in to little brat! even though you love'em so much.
