“BTW: I had a cousin who was spanked, and he became a drug addict and hanged himself.

This proves that you’re wrong.”

Absolute nonsense.

I’ve seen you on several child rearing threads-——how many children have you raised?

[SoConPubbie]

LOL!

Good one Jeff!

[Jeff Chandler]

So? You are saying that “common sense” tells you that hitting people is the way to build a relationship, build trust, and teach love?

Being consistent and fair builds trust. Taking an interest in a child's upbringing teaches love and builds a relationship.

A child who is not disciplined does not feel loved.

Common sense tells me there are occasions when (disciplined) spanking can sometimes be the right tool for the job. If discipline can be achieved without corporal punishment, all the better. But conflating spanking with beating is like saying a stern lecture is the same as screaming and humiliating.

Arthur, do you have a child/children?

Let us know if you get an answer.

The dude used to claim to be a priest but will not now confirm or deny if he is or isn't.

[Jeff Chandler]

I don’t dating advice from Youtube, thank you.

Art reminds me of what Rush calls the Drive by media.

He just posts an article and drives on by without any additional follow up.

The objection to hitting folks sure didn’t slow down the Inquisition did it!

[Jeff Chandler]

To get children to adulthood safely it is sometimes necessary to be the bad guy.
.
Electric sockets, running into traffic, reaching for pots on the hot stove need a very strong signal that will be remembered. In a loving home a spank is rare, unexpected and creates a red line to help keep a child safe.

Good Common Sense.

pouring a glass of water over their heads was enough

I've never heard of that one but in Arizona they might like it.

[Georgia Girl 2]

A couple of spankings smartened me right up. :-)

“It’s amazing how many people think that hitting people is the way to build trust, teach them to reason, and instill love of God and neighbor.”

And more amazing that someone who claims to follow Christ, rejects what Scripture teaches in favor of shifting social preferences.

[robroys woman]

All scripture is inspired by God...

I agree.

[Nifster]

No. I raised my child without ever finding a need for spanking

[Architect of Avalon]

You’re conflating “lack of discipline” with “the absence of spanking”.

[Architect of Avalon]

People can be raised in a strict, strong discipline, character building way that does not include spanking.

[Architect of Avalon]

Your post exemplified sound and fury, signifying nothing.

[Architect of Avalon]

They should learn that there are dangerous people in the world, but they should also learn that their parents are not among those dangerous people, but instead first among those who will never hurt them.

[Architect of Avalon]

Good point.

So what means did you use to discipline your children?

And how did they turn out?
