is it right to spank r kids

[jimmydiggs]

I was spanked as a child. I feel that I benefited greatly from it. It was not the only form of punishment I endured. My punishments became less and less, as I quickly understood. Bad act = pain. Other than bad act = no pain. Now that I am older, I can think for myself, I know my parents were teaching me valuable things. Pain made it easier to enforce, as at the time, I was much younger, did less thinking for myself.

Its written "rod of correction" save ones soul, til the sides are blue if need be,wow, different levels of rebelliousness, i think God knows a heap more than us, His Word is the source to the answers, not what we perceive to be the answer,

I'm sure God wasn't referring to abuse which that which you referred to is.

someone told me we need to spank r kids what do u think?

r kids yes, s kids no. Not m kids either. w, x, y and z kids definitely should get spanked.

Seriously though, yes, the Bible says you ought to give them a pat on the backside if they have been bad. The godliest people I know gave their kids spankings and they are the best kids on planet earth, no kidding.

Proverbs has lots of verses.

im sorry, i didnt write the proverb just stating that "it is written". Lean not upon your own understanding, but acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths" again comes from proverbs, With all due respect, we cant take what we like and discount the rest of His Word cause we dont agree with it. love you

Is it right not to spank a child

The Bible is pretty clear on this. If you sparer the rod you spoil the child. plain and simple

......What is highly esteemed among man, is an abomination is the sight of the Lord. Luke 16:15

You can argue against what God says. But who are you to say that you are smarter than the Maker of the universe.

 

[Matthew]

also spanking usally doesn't line up with the crime. You're supposed to have the punishment line up with the crime. I mean if a child lies you spank them. What does that teach them? Don't get caught in a lie or I'll get hit. Instead it is better to explain to a child the dangers of lying and maybe even read Proverbs 30:32 and stories like the boy who cried wolf and the emperor's new clothes.

Spanking teaches children that there are negative consequences to a disobedient action, and children respond much more to action than they do to stories and discussion, that is why it is crucial that parents lead by example.

If a parent does something and then tells the child not too, they are more likely to do it anyway, they are less likely if the parent also doesnt do it.

Spanking is all about fear, but not fear of parents rather fear of discomfort and fear of punishnment, any child that was spanked and feared their parents was simply abused not disciplined, whether it was minor or major.....I understand parents don't want to spank out of fear of crossing that line....BUT not applying appropriate discipline will cause just as many problems for them later in life of a different sort.

Some kids are better behaved may not require it but some will......whether you incorporate spanking or not you must apply good discipline otherwise your kids will pay the price.

amen and amen, when Jesus was tempted in the desert He repied "it is written" end of the issue. Taking every thought that exalts itself above God captive and cast down" ABC christianity

I don't think it's necessary to spank them, one should have enough control over them to make them behave without.

1 By showing love
2 By being a role model
3 By telling them what to do and what not to do

how many kids do you have??LOL

HAHAHAHA Both my boys are C kids... so if any were wondering c kids are in the spank category. You know whats interesting too... my son, 9, said of one of his school mates... mom, if his mom would just give him a spank maybe he wouldnt always be being bad. this from the spankee... Honestly I cant remember when I last spanked my boys because its now pretty much unnecessary.

a rod would leave a mark and blue would be bruising which is abuse

then take a toy or something not hit them. I'm not saying do away with discipline I just don't think spanking is the right way, but who am I to say for you not to spank your children do whatever you want. No one in our family was spanked but we learned manners and were disciplined properly.

A more severenon-violent method that has long lasting psychological consequences is to take their favourite toy or teddy bear, then cut its head off or smash it on the ground.

I remember my mother’s last smack. I had grown too big for her to hurt me.
