I was spanked as a child by my father and i hol dno grudge against him. I had a wooden paddle with holes drilled in it hanging next to my bedroom door, so not only did i know it was coming i had to go getthe paddle myself.

Thats not the only was I was punished though. Spankings were left for very bad deeds. I learned very quickly to never roll my eyes by my stepmother who spun me around by my hair as I was walking off from her one time. I hold nothing against her either.

I actually thank my parents for punishing me because it has taught me to be the person I am now. I think there are lots of effective ways to punish children, spanking being one for those times it is necesary and I will use that same way of thinking when I have children of my own one day.

imo either approach will work timeout, being grounded or spanking. as long as u r firm i know some people that ground their children but there they are watching tv talkin on the phone. i personally use all of the above and when i ground my daughter(she's 12) her door comes off her room, she doesnt get to ride the bus with her friends and no tv phone or computer. my 4 yr old son can get away with timeout most of the time but when i caught him playin with matches i tanned his ass!

For certain situations, nothing replaces a good punishment….
I love watching some of these 'modern' parents arguing or rationalizing with a 4yr old about what cereal they're gonna buy!
More parents should 'got a grip' on discipline. Once you lose the respect of your offspring..it doesn't come back..ever

I agree, very well put.

Children need a slap on top of their hand, or a light spank on their ass, it's just the way it has got to be. More and more children these days have it too easy, and think they can get away with everything. Time outs and stuff like that are good (in a psychological aspect). However, a LITTLE pain is necessary, I mean, we are human beings, true, but we are all still animals, and negative reinforcement works all the time, it's just natures way of saying SMARTEN THE @#$^ UP!

So ummm...yeah, please, hit your children.

I've never beat my boy...

On the other hand I have smacked him on the rear end or on a hand or dragged him to his room a few times when he has gone too far and needs a wake-up call to remind him who is in charge in this house or at moms house. It's never even been hard enough to hurt him, but I think the shock of seeing dad SO angry that he gets physical really makes an impression.

I'm sure I feel worse than he does when things have degenerated so far that I am left with no choice but to get physical. It usually ruins my day and I'll have trouble sleeping that night.
