Disciplining children.

I hardly had to smack mine as I always rectified them with words first lol and they where clever they knew by my Tone lol and when the certain Tone was there it was a case of "OOOps you are pushing to far" and if I did smack it was more a Tap as I just did not like to see them hurt I prefered talking to them, no pudding, no TV and things like that

Well i don't know if i can say that i believe in smacking a child but i do believe in discipline for sure! When i do spank i just spank on the bum and not hard but hard enough so that they know i mean business! Sometimes you have to like if they continue to climb up while you are cooking or trying to stick a fork in a plug in. It seems necassary when the child continues to put themself in a dangerous situation!!

Well to handle children is the one of the most difficult part of each and every parents life. They need to take cared properly by parents and relatives. Love,affection is the best way to handle the children and to inculcate the sense of disipline in them.

I use different kind of discipline for different disobediance. I spank my little boy every once in awhile. Whenever he directly challenges my authority, by telling me no.. when he is defiant. THere have only been a few times when I have had to spank him in order to make him obey, but it has been very effective when I've had to. Here is a for instance; I told him to come to me, when we were in a very busy store, he looked at me, crossed his arms, said no! and then ran the other way, I caught him, took him to the bathroom, gave him a swat on the bottom and then explained to him why he had to listen when I told him to come, Then we went Home. These times are rare, but every once in awhile he tries to see who's boss, and I put him in his place with a swat on the bottom. Usually his misbehavior leads to a time out. He is very active, so a timeout works well for him. He HATES it! I do believe that a SPANKING (not smacking.. I don't know if you mean spanking or something else by that) if adminstered correctly and calmly can be a very affective tool. I hate to hear parents say they use it as a last resort, because by that time, you are very frustrated and you can tend to go over board. Use it consitently or never use it. We reserve it for defiance only, other type of misbehavior is usually disciplined other ways. My son has become quite compliant recently and has not recieved a spanking in a long time (or a time out for that matter). My youngest of course is WAY too young to be disciplined at all.

Smack....No. I will spank on the bottom only when I have to. I feel that it is our duty as parents to discipline our children. We must teach them to grow in a civilized manner. Our children are lent to us. God has blessed us tremendously with them, and it is our duty to raise them knowing HIM. Joshua 24:15 Choose you this day whom ye will serve... ....But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!

I have tried many things, some things seem to work better, we do the standing in the corner, writing sentences, and sometimes a smack on the bottom. The time out sitting on the chair doesn't seem to work for our kids. I've found with our 11 year old, that taking away a toy or game, etc works about the best with her.

yes i belive so much in it,i can then always ,they will cry of course

its that i dont belive in it but i used to get hit with a belt or sumthing when i made a smart remark i think it makes them in to shape like smackin them around isnt aagaisnt the law well now if ur leavin brusises or such then uve got a problem buddyy....

When my kids were younger (my son actually) I did spank him, tap him in the mouth etc depending on what he'd done wrong...with my daughter just raising my voice is enough (even to this day)...now that they are older though, they really dont need punishment in fact my son is actually being punished right now for the first time in YEARS...currently he's not allowed to use the phone for 2 weeks, no iPod or Nin.DS for 2 weeks, he's grounded for 2 weeks and lost his allowance for one month because he got in trouble at school (so he also had 3 days ISS as well).....and of course the lecture from me, his stepdad and the principal...he's also been warned that if he pisses me off before his punishment is over I'm adding a week to everything ;-)

i think sometimes smack is good

I do not smack my children, but I do spank them occationally if they are really out of line. When the swear or talk back to me, I make them take their choice of washing their mouth out with soap or with baking soda. If it is less serious, then I will just make them stand i the corner. After every punishment though no matter what it is, I sit them down afterwards and talk to them and ask them what the did wrong, ect.

We used to remove them from the situation, and say, NO or we would ground them -taking privileges away. Sometimes when they were going to eat something they were not supposed to, I would make a horrible face and say, YUK! Other times we would scold them, like when they wrote all over the walls and made them help clean it up. On rare occasions, only once for each child, we hit them in the behind and they felt insulted, but the usual result was no matter what we used, taking away from the situation, or grounding, they looked sad, cry, and promised they would do better.

mmm i think we should not smacking children, this kind (smacking) children to teach a discipline is not quite good for they psicology, i think it will be better if we can makes them discipline with their own realization of its, than it will great, but sometimes we can control our emotion also, watching the children act out of control, we also become out of control, and smacks them down .... self control is the key ?
