Spanking your child: Yes or No?

Physical punishment is perfectly okay. Child abuse cannot be equatable to spanking. Humanity can already determine right from wrong, so its a given right to punish your own children as you see fit (without reaching abuse, of course).

No. My older sister got more spankings when she was younger than any of the rest of us. My younger sister is way, way, way, way WAY more violent than my older sister. My Younger sister throws fits, hits/bites/kicks me, speaks back to my parents and does a bunch of other junk and hardly ever gets spanked...and she is still violent. why? because almost all my parents have done is talked to her adn taken toys away. I say yes to spanking.

the perfect example how just talking to your kids dont work

MOST of the time it doesn't work It worked on me. My parents barley ever spanked me. Usually my dad would talk to me about what I did wrong and I wouldn't do it again.

in my country, mothers spanked their child a little too hard since there was heaps of claims by doctors that doing this was injuring their child's backside

so it wasnt banned but its not a good thing to do

Spanking was super-effective on me! I am neither violent nor do I hate my parents. However I don't know if I could spank my own kids. Ughh. That must have been tough on my parents...

Anyway. I'm not against it but there is a limit and it should be used as a last-resort. Also it should be used in the earlier ages, when children don't understand language/meaning properly. They aren't going to understand "Don't do that because it's bad", but they sure as heck will understand "Don't do that because I'll spank you".

well spanking is disciplen(sorry for bad spelling) and is needed to show that the child doesn't need to get everything it want's and that the world doesn't revolve around them. it's like gronding. if a child does something they shouldn't then by taking away something they want, they won't do it again. if i ever backtalked to my parrents i would get grounded from video games for 1 month. if i swore, then 1 week. My parrents showed high disciplen for me and I learned from it.

There are quite a few people in my school who I know for a fact wouldn't do the bratty and stupid things they do if they got smacked once in a while. They laugh at getting sent to detention, but I doubt they would laugh at a good smack across the behind.
But like Amph said. It's a last resort thing for young children and probably wouldn't be effective on stupid teenage boys. I just have to wait for reality to give em a nice kick in the rear.

My Mom spanked me and I think it did me good. But the thing that made my Mom spanking effective and not damaging was that she always made sure I knew she loved me. She'd often spank me and then immediately sit down, take me on her lap, and comfort me. She'd always make sure I knew exactly why I was getting punished and what I should have done instead. Sometimes, she cried too.

That's what I plan to do with my children.

If a little kid is misbehaving, he isnt going to undersatnd "Dont do that, it's embarassing" or "Stop, you're bother me". They will learn right from wrong through trial and error. If I do this, mom/dad spanks me, BUT if I do that, they give me cookies. I'll do that then.

It depends where you draw the line between 'spanking' and 'venting your rage'. Alot of parents get stressed and frustrated, when their kid does something bad or annoying they sometimes let this rage go into what was meant to be a 'spank' and ended up in knocking the child to the ground and leaving him a great big dirty bruise.

I actually had to fight a man of his 7 year old son, his son lifted something and wouldn't put it back, the man started shouting at him and smacked him. The kid went down and actually had trouble standing up because of how hard he was hit. I bought the kid a lolly after punching his dad in the nose.

So yeah spanking is ok when done right, child learns from small physical pain, child learns to HATE from spiteful parents.

Agreed

As a last resort, it works effectively. It is typically embarrassing more than it is painful. At least for me it was. I know lots of people who got spanked when they were young including me. There's no emotional damage, in fact, I look back at those times and the things I've done and laugh and thank God for the fact that my parent's didn't kick my butt up and down the street all day for doing those things.
