do you beat your child when they do wrong

NO! i do not want to hurt my son. Even if he's still a baby. Sometimes I yelled but I am not serious. SInce he cannot understand what I am trying to say I am doing it just to fear him or to stop him from what he's doing.

In my opinion...every child needs to learn disipline if they do wrong. Spanking,pop on the butt/hand and beating your child is 2 different things. I dont beat my children never would either. But for the most part a time out on the bed without playing usually works for me so when they do wrong i let them know right then it was wrong and there not suppost to do it and then put them in time out...i have yelled before if they are a distance away and i cant get to them right then and there.

i never beat either one of my kids. that would be a horrible thing to do. they did get spankings when i thought they needed it & they did get grounded when they were bad. it is a parent's responsibilty to teach & disipline a child. that has to start right at the beginning of their life. u can't wait to they realize the consequences of what they have done wrong.

We don't spank our child either. We do try to teach him that there is a concequence when he does something bad. He likes to throw things like his sippy cup. He can throw it if he likes, but if he throws it at us we take it and he can't have it back.

i have never smacked my daughter and i wouldnt!! i do yell at her if she does wrong repestedly but its not very often.

absolutely not. Its a hideous way to teach good from bad. When I was at school those who did wrong were belted on the hands by the teacher - very vigorously by some teachers. I had it twice myself for minor incidents and it taught me absolutely nothing. Its fundamentally wrong to treat a child in such a way.

I believe spanking is never the answer, allthough people should realize that a minor spank on the butt is very different from a beating. I don't approve of either, but some people talk about these things like they are the same and I stronly believe they are not. Yelling and cursing are a lack of words, or so I believe. There is no punishment that is effective without telling the child what kind of behaviour you do want to see. They need an alternative that will get them positive attention, otherwise there is nothing to be learnt accept from not getting caught and avoiding punishment itsself.

We have had this discussion before and I would make the same comment. Nobody is trained to be a parent and all children are different so the are occasions with some families when it comes down to smacking a child. When this happens it is a failure on the part of the parent not the child. Actually I don't recall ever hitting any of our kids

i sometimes angry if they didn't somethings don't nomal, i alway so angry for childern detroy the things to let me do something for them. and i don't like thme always let disturb me when i was playing computer.

No, i will not do that, first thing to do if they are make mistake is making good conversation among them. If it is not work, i take second step to make some rules that make them uncofortable, like stop giving money for couple a day, stop playing game, watching television etc.

I haven't got any child so maybe I am not in a good position to respond. But if it was my child who has done something so wrong, then I think I will beat him to some extent. The beating serves as a punishment to let him aware that what he has done is wrong. Some say that you can explain to him that it is wrong. I am not denying that explanation is required but the truth is you cannot expect a child of 4 or 5 years old to truly understand what on earth you are explaining. Letting him bear some pain will make him truly understand that something should not be done. I am not saying that you can hit your child hard when they did something wrong. But some mild punishment is required sometimes.

I think giving the "mother stare" and a swift bold "no" gets the point across. Spanking is only necessary if they are a repeated offender and choose not to listen to you. Slapping their hand would be fine too. I only say this when they continue to do something, I would never do that if it was their first time doing something bad and they didn't know. Also time out is effective along with threatening, like saying do you want a spankin? If you don't stop I won't take you to (where ever they were wanting to go) and such. I would NEVER EVER beat my child.
