Is it necessary to get angry at young children?

I have no contacts with families with young children. My neighbor spanked her son when he was a young boy. He is now 18, very polite young man, he has a job, he grew up well.

It depends on the age first. At 18 months they are still learning all of the rules so no. But 4 year old Monsters that keep pushing buttons are a different story. I do always make sure she knows I love her. Its the behavior that I dont.

I think children test the limits they can go to each time. So they will look at you while doing what they are told not to do to see when you will start reacting. Brats. LOL It is amusing and if we show we are amused...you bet they are not gonna listen then and another time... I tend to panic when they do things that are dangerous. Good thing I didn't have any. I would make them so sissy. LOL My father has been abusive. Nothing has changed. People still beat their kids around me.

According to the research I've done at NebraskaCoEds.com, the discipline techniques of young ladies is pretty much the same. Except now they get paid for it.

I think children should just know who is the authority and learn to understand that no means no and learn right from wrong, Just yelling at a child never accomplished anything,

Anger, for me, is a word similar to hate. They are deeper felt emotions, and most often are not descriptive of my true feelings. Most things only annoy me or irritate me. But anger me? That takes quite a lot. Disappointment is also a word I associate often with something I feel towards someone. I rarely hate anyone. I rather dislike them, or do not prefer them. But hate? It takes a lot for me to hate someone. I have never had kids, but I have had younger cousins and of course nieces and nephews, and I can't remember a time when I ever felt genuinely angry at them. Even when they get older, even into their teen years when some can get quite nasty, anger would be an emotion I would not have felt. As for discipline, however, I am a firm believer in corporal punishment—but there is a very discernable difference between a stern tap on the butt and and child abuse. A smack in the face would be something I would never do. That being said, that kind of discipline also did not destroy me. I was belted, bare butt spanked with a brush, smacked in the face, and even punched and it did not damage me mentally.

It depends on how young the kid is. Littlies get a finger shaken at them. Toddlers, if they've been told over and over not to do something, then I might swat a diaper-clad little tush... ONCE. It's enough to startle but not hurt. Hopefully, it will help them remember the next time they're tempted to do something I don't want them doing. If YOU'RE the one doing something wrong, then I'd probably let vanny decide and administer the punishment. When I was a kid, we got a peach tree switch taken to our legs. When we were a little older, then dad used a thin leather belt on our tush. Now, if anyone sees someone raise their hand to a kid, no matter their age, you can bet the police and Family Services will be visiting very soon!

I don't have enough contact with young families nowadays to be able to comment on changes. Mostly, parents seem quite good although you sometimes get some in supermarkets that shout at their kids.

Discipline where I live is to be nice to my nephew who has special needs is to tell him "No." when he wants to play computer while it is being updated in a kind manner. No harsh language used.

Discipline has definitely changed. Parents can't spank their kids anymore as they did when I was a child.

I am thankful to born in family of discipline parents. I saw some families nowadays, even me and my friend ever asked each other, why marry if they can't raise their family right. Have problems in terms of financial (majorly) and others.

Kids are kids and totally cute. I am very patient with the kids and if there's wrong i explain but sometimes they easily forgot . Because all they want is to play.
