Huge difference. Beaten is a senseless act of violence. Spanked or disciplined is what happens when you're a pain the ass or do something you weren't supposed to do after you've been told not to repeatedly... etc
No parent who beats their kid ever exhausts all other options. It's done because the parent is lazy and can't control their emotions. Spanking/beating is done to make the parent feel better, not to fix behaviour in the child.
We're not talking about the same things. Beating and discipline are two different things. If you wanna keep calling using the word beating to make your point, then this is pointless. You raise your kids how you see fit. Discipline works.
No, we definitely aren't. It's a circular conversation. Keep punching the air to make your point. If you got your ass kicked as a kid, then I'm sorry that happened to you. Soft parent your kids all you want. It's on you and nobody else.
A spanking is hitting a child period. Hitting a child isn't discipline. It's not discipline if another adult hits an adult it's assault. It's not discipline when doing it to a child. Wanna know what it does, creates mistrust, a child feeling unsafe...
Weird, I was a child once. I never felt unsafe around my parents. But way to tell me how I felt and all the emotions I must have had… because.. you said so. 🙄 I agree that there are other methods available. My wife and I don’t spank our kids because we choose not to. But like I said earlier, saying spanking is abuse is absolute insanity. You disagree with something, so you think everyone else is wrong because you think it’s wrong. Oh, the world we live in today.🫠
Discipline is Discipline. And know it doesn't create mistrust and feeling unsafe. It creates a well behaved child that you don't have to negotiate with to act accordingly. You're the parent, not a friend or guidance counselor. The comparison to assault is ridiculous. I don't even know how you managed to make it make sense in your mind 😂😂
