I'm 35 with 2 kids (boys, 8 & 3). I've slapped their hands when they touched something they shouldn't have. I've spanked their butts when they won't listen.

Have I spanked them hard enough to leave a bruise? not at all.

Would I ever use a belt on one of my children? hell no, and shame on you who say you will...

At this point, do I just give them "the look" and they shape up? You bet your ***...

I can count on both hands the number of times I've had to spank both of my boys.

There's a difference between spanking your child and beating your child. using a belt or any other object counts as beating your child.

As a parent, after you spank them or hit their hand, is that the end of it? Or do you go into further explanation of why they were punished and defined to them why/what's right and wrong?

It seems like the majority of those that have replied don't have kids, however, they will condone spanking or some type of physical punishment.  Are y'all planning to just spank your kids and as soon as they stop, that's the end of the story?  I think explaining to them the logic behind your disciplinary action needs to be emphasized as the take home message because they're not learning if you just hit em and that's it.

I think that's the problem with a lot of our youths because children will eventually grow too old for spanking, and then what?  The only form of disciplinary action is taken away from the parent and throughout that child's whole lifetime, they've yet to learn morals and ethics.

Of course there are arguments to this, but i think it's reasonable.

Parents are held responsible for building that foundation of morals and ethics for their children because God knows, nobody else is going to do that for them.

I spank my kids and will continue doing so. I dont hit them often. But they know the threat is there. People might be against it but you know what if you want to pay the bills, feed my kids, pick them up from school, pay for there private school then you can tell me how to raise them. There is no right way to raise your kids me and my wife came out alright and we got our #*#%! whooped so I will go with it. I see the generation that has grown up with no spanking, and I dont want my kid to be like that.

If you instill the fear of god in them they will be straight. The key is to start early. Some kids are hardheaded and need the rid spared. I look at as better me that the police or peps in the streets.

Oh, the irony...

Did any of you ACTUALLY read anything written here?  People that devote their ENTIRE lives to childhood development have concluded that spanking children does ZERO good for the child in the long run...all it does is get them to fear their parents in the moment and actually does harm the the long-term...

Anyone with the attitude that it is ever OK to lay a hand on a child, or an adult for that manner needs to grow up...this research is not based on opinion, but data collected over years and more than just this one researchers claims...

Ever wonder why the United States, as the leader of the free world, is still one of the most violent countries on earth?  Ever stop to think that maybe that is because we promote violence as a means to take care of our problems and we teach our children that being physical at an early age it is OK?  Break the Cycle...seriously...this sort of thinking needs to stop and it should start with our generation...

spanking isn't right, but neither is yelling at them. it's known as verbal abuse. but truth be told i smack them. nothing hard enough to leave a mark but just so they get the message, i do find taking things away from them works a little too. my question to these "experts" is how do they treat their own kids, if they even have them. i've got enough people telling me how to discipline my kids and i can give a f what anyone else says.
