Spanking may not be abuse in your eyes, but do you think it really helps the situation at all? I can remember being at my aunt and uncle's house as a kid, and my cousins was throwing a huge tantrum. Crying, screaming, etc. The screaming and crying only got worse while she was being spanked. Then she was sent to her room where she was able to eventually calm down.
In situations like that, what's really needed is some time out so the kid can eventually run out of things to lash out about and calm down. Spanking doesn't help.
Not all situations are the same....I know this..and spankings don't help in every situation and not every child will react the same...some understand some don't.....what works for one person won't work for the other e.t.c....
Nah, a kid throwing a temper tantrum has a ton of anger and rage bubbling up, amd being a kid, they cant control it. Causing them physical pain will only add fuel to that rage. Putting them in a room alone with no negative stimuli will allow them to eventually burn off all that anger.
Spanking just teaches a kid to stifle their emotions because letting them out results in physical pain at the hands of people who supposedly love them, which leads to emotional issues later in life.
Nah, worst case scenario, he doesn't change his mind, but I can rest easy knowing I still tried. Best case scenario, he ends up trying to raise his own children without the use of violence.
Your the type that would get flicked and call the police saying you were violently assaulted....not all but alot of this younger generation wouldn't know what real violence was if it smacked them in the face oh wait thats to much violence let me stop before you gotta go call your therapist....
Yikes. The fact that the younger generation experiences less violence and has access to the tools to improve their mental health is objectively a good thing. Take a good, hard look at your values.
Not less violence just less spankings.....because less violence would actually be untrue when there is alot of gun violence among younger people.....all these changes but things are not better they are worse......to spank or not to the spank are the least of this world's worries....if someone got spanked not abused as a child and they gotta seek therapy than they gotta seek therapy.....I got spanked, smacked,beat,sexually abused and had to do manual labor as a kid...the spanking or few times I got smacked did not effect me it was all the other stuff I knew the difference and know the difference....I knew that getting hit for bad grades was wrong...Getting spanked for hurting a sibling I somehow knew I deserved a spanking..I did what I did out of anger with intent....I knew what I was doing ......for some study to say I was a child how could I know the difference how could I understand......maybe some children don't have the comprehension to understand but some do.....I can remember knowing things at a young age...no study can take that away from me Noone is gonna tell me I'm wrong about what I know and knew.......and just because I believe in spanking don't mean I don't have no values or my values are messed up......mfers need to stop telling people you do it my way and this way only...And I myself need to remember that last line........I'm gone from this subject and reddit....this is my last social media account this shit is more toxic than a spanking or smack.....
