As the parent and adult, it's important to find a calm and rational way to deal with discipline.

It is never done out of anger and I cannot even imagine ever being so angry with my children that I could inflict the kind of pain he did on his poor kids! And trust me they push my buttons daily! I pray that he gets the jail time and the counseling he needs to see his mistake and learn from it. I agree with you that there are so many options for discipline and if spanking is used it should not be your go to methodAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00761844022843833392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7706200435398553574.post-66159081477941630162014-09-14T11:55:12.257-07:002014-09-14T11:55:12.257-07:00I think it's okay to talk about things that ma...I think it's okay to talk about things that may be controversial. I do not believe in spanking personally but rather consequences and discussing why we made the choices we did. With that being said, when I get compliments on how well behaved my children are, I point those compliments toward my children since they made the choice to be well behaved. I don't think spanking is necessarily abuse, I was abused as a child and teen severely but I also got spankings as a child. However, what is the intention of spanking other than the parent releasing their own frustrations? You're not only teaching your children impatience and insecurity. If you do something wrong nobody hits you, so why should adults have the right to inflict pain on a child? It's easier than being consistent and talking to your kids about their actions, and following through with consequences. If spanking worked, then why are so many children still acting out? How about tell them, no, we aren't going to the birthday party/park because you disobeyed. Too hard. <br /><br /> I can't read articles about abusing children. I want nothing more than for children to feel confident and super safe.

Spanking is more of one pat on the bottom and then explaining why you did that and have them understand what they did was wrong. 15 times for spanking is abuse!

However, I don't think spanking is particularly effective for most children and I believe if it is done in anger it is abusive. What Adrian Petersen did was not a spanking, it was a beating. He is a disgusting human being and I really hope he does not get off because of who he is.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02963759844976424501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7706200435398553574.post-70012540844533822972014-09-14T06:14:06.365-07:002014-09-14T06:14:06.365-07:00I can handle like a quick tap on the hand for chil...I can handle like a quick tap on the hand for children, esp if they're trying to play with dangerous objects around the house but spanking/smacking/screaming is very much un-okay in my book. Kids are very easily influenced and they behave the way they see the world behave because, well, that's all they know. So they need to be shown kind words in moments of discipline.
