How do you feel about giving your misbehaving child a "swat across the ass" for discipline?
Do you find it effective? What repercussions affect the ego of the child?
Discussion
I opposse every physical violence on child.
It's biblical. "Spare the rod, and spoil the child."
My personal experience made me respect and fear my parents... It did less damage than apathy mom had towards us.
Was it respect or fear? I have no need to be feared but respect is a good thing. But respect must go both ways I think.
I'm all for no violence, and instructing a child of their choice and repercussions. Natural effects have a great learning factor.
Getting sacked in the jewels by a 4 year old, cuz he thinks it's funny?
How do you reprimand?
Excuse me, english is my second language, do you mean “hit in the balls”? If so, that’s obviously not funny. In this case I “over drama” a bit how much pain that may inflicted on me and proceed to explain that this is not an acceptable behaviour. Every child in my life has understood that inflicting pain on others isn’t fun and can in many way lead to a cycle of bad things (i. e. you can inflict much more pain on him but you wouldn’t want to do that because it’s just bad). I then continue to stress out if there is a way we can be friends rather than enemies. Every one chose to be friends. At least so far. I am only 34. :)
