Interesting point.Originally Posted by Its That Dude
If it reaches the point where you have to physically discipline your children, you have failed at parenting.
There was study done...sorry I tried googling it but for the life of me I can't find the source but I'm not pulling these statistics out of the air.
The study said that 85% of parents that spank their children feel aggravated, mad, etc when they spank their children.
Does that stat alarm anyone? I mean being mad can only lead to more abusive behavior.
Edit found it. Here's the exert I was talking about.
Doty is certainly not the only parent who has spanked in anger and frustration. According to the SUNY study, 85 percent of parents report feeling angry and agitated when they spank. And those emotions can be difficult to rein in. "The intensity will continue to rise if the parent continues to be physical," says Dr. Coleman. And that increases the risk of abuse.

Kid takes candy. Parent explains why that is not okay. Kid learns that stealing is wrong. Later applies that to things later on in life.
So the parent that spanks their child nonchalantly omits justifying the punishment received?
Ok.
Bad example on my part since I left that out. But in situations where my dad beat me and then would try to talk to me about why he did it I was still mad and my mouth was still bleeding so I'd negate whatever he tried to say to me because I was mad at the time so I'm not gonna listen to you if I'm mad.
Oh it hurts you more than it hurts me?
