Parents may no longer be able to use physical force to discipline a child

[miss_crayon]

All I know is, to this day my heart races when I hear my parents give me "that" tone when they're not pleased. Not because I'm traumatized of any "disciplining" but because I'm worried I'm going to disappoint them. I think that's what kids need, a certain amount of fear of "am I fucking up??" and not wanting to get mom+dad mad at them. So majority of the time I really have to think things through before acting on it.

My brother and I always joke that's the kind of power we want in the future. Don't get me wrong, my parents are the most loving and supportive, but I definitely feel we learned early on to think what is right and wrong.

Description:
"2004: Aransas County Court-At-Law Judge William Adams took a belt to his own teenage daughter as punishment for using the internet to acquire music and games that were unavailable for legal purchase at the time. She has had ataxic cerebral palsy from birth that led her to a passion for technology, which was strictly forbidden by her father's backwards views. The judge's wife was emotionally abused herself and was severely manipulated into assisting the beating and should not be blamed for any content in this video. The judge's wife has since left the marriage due to the abuse, which continues to this day, and has sincerely apologized and repented for her part and for allowing such a thing, long before this video was even revealed to exist. Judge William Adams is not fit to be anywhere near the law system if he can't even exercise fit judgement as a parent himself. Do not allow this man to ever be re- elected again. His "judgement" is a giant farce. Signed, Hillary Adams, his daughter."

If they outlaw spanking and beating in any form, parents will resort to other disciplining methods. Probably lock them in a cage or restrained them with a rope, would that be better? IMO, spanking is fine, like in a way to get their attention if they're not listening to you. Just don't do it like it's a routine every time the kid makes a mistake.

I think in today's generation, parents spoil their kids more than parents back in my generation. I see 3 to 6 years old kids with tablets at restaurants. Kids around 10 already have playstations and xbox or a computer for them to go online to further corrupt their mind. Then when they refuse to study or go to school, the parents throws the blame back on the kids rather than themselves for spoiling them.

Bottom line is, if you want to discipline a child, don't buy them a ton of toys and then when they misbehave, then take it away from them. Rather, when they behave for a period of time or do well in a certain activity, you reward them with something. I don't have kids, but if I do, this is the method I would use to teach them on how to be good.

as i chinese i can tell u, no pain no gain

im 27 and the reason why i don't feel like having kids is cuz i grew up all full of shit and i don't want to have a kid that ended just like me

reason my dad would slap my face is becuz nothing really sync in and i never really changed

taking away my things didn't really work and i barely had social life outside if school

just no other choice besides pain to learn my lesson and even that was hard for my dad too, as that still didnt get through my head

most of them were all skool related (my dad really hate mit when i can amuse myself with nothing at all)

Every time i see my sister in law says "go to your room now, you are grounded", "no ipad for you for the rest of today, you are being a naughty boy" to her son, me and wife laughed so hard. He never learns and continues.

LOL, I'm pretty sure both of those forms of discipline were outlawed long before spanking. That's some sound reasoning though, I can't spank my kid I'm going to burn him with a cigarette or waterboard him then..........
