When you discipline your children, do you spank them with your hands or use another object to hit a certain part of their body, like the buttocks or their hands? Do you think this kind of way is effective in moulding and discplining our children?
In my opinion, yes, somehow but not all the time. Children can easily understand you more when you talk to them about things. It might seem that they don't understand but they do, they actually absorb it more than us. The technique is whenever you talk to them, you better look them staright in the eye like you mean business and youre sincere with what you're doing. You better point out certain aspects why this situation happened between you and your kid. Make sure that they get an explanation after spanking. Also whenever you decide to spank your kid make sure that its a valid reason, its not just that you're exercising your authority as a parent or else it will lead to rebellion. Everything is in moderation and remember your children are your legacy.

I got to be spanked by my mom when I was little and through that, I became a better person. I believe that over doing it wouldn't be helpful though. The tendency is that the child would not be scared of getting spanked if he/she's used to it. My mom spanked me for about 10 times in my whole childhood and whenever she would raise her hands and make her eyes big, I would immediately say sorry and tell the truth to her. Her way disciplining us was very effective.

I dont believe in spanking. If a parent spanks a child, how can they tell that child it is not OK to hit? If a parent yells at a child, how can they tell them it is not OK to yell? If a parent tells a child not to pick on smaller/weaker people, how can a parent physically or verbally be violent to their child?
