jennilyn77 Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 I don't. not because I don't believe in it though. I just never have the urge to hit my kid. Never needed to. She's 12 now and has always been a really good kid. ask me again when she's 17. Link to post Share on other sites

Sellersgirl1012 Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Yep. Got 5, from 4-12 yrs old. Everyone of them have been spanked at some point. I really believe spanking them early and establishing the order of command from day one has helped. I can't remember the last time one of the olders ones were spanked. We are still working on the 4 year old Link to post Share on other sites
dawneykids Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 I am absolutely NOT opposed to it, but 3rd grader responds well to a very stern voice and taking his things away as punishment. He's a really good kid and I can't recall any time recently that he did anything to warrant a spanking. That could change though and both Hubby and I are quite capable of doling one out.

spacey74 Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 yes, when needed! But mostly we talk things away, that seems to hurt them more Link to post Share on other sites
fishnthec Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Yes I did when they needed it. Because they knew I would I didn't have to very much. They are 17 and 20 now so I don't anymore but sometimes I want to. Link to post Share on other sites

EagleWings Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 I've never hit my kids. But the wife could use a little straightening up at least twice a week. All joking aside, if direct disobedience occurred, they got spanked. Wasn't needed much as they got older. Link to post Share on other sites
MissSophie Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Just so depended on the child. It was more a very youngish thing. As they got older; taking away privileges; I had one; nothing worked. Another needed almost no discipline. I think I spanked her 2 or 3 times. The one time I remember was opening the door to a stranger before I could get to the door. Some should be tied and taped until the age of 25; others are good to go the whole time. I have one who is 40 and still makes me crazy! I wish I could spank her now! Link to post Share on other sites

All joking aside, if direct disobedience occurred, they got spanked. Wasn't needed much as they got older. Snork! Seriously, I may have spanked mine once or twice when they were little. That's all it took. A good stern voice and getting down and looking at them on their eye level, making it perfectly clear that such behavior WILL NOT be tolerated in this house, usually did the trick after that. I personally believe it's not such a bad thing if your kids aren't just a little afraid of you, and very afraid to disappoint you. Link to post Share on other sites
+nschur Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 My daughter got the occasional spanking, but has pretty much gotten to where she doesn't need them any longer. Dis jr. is a whole different story. He has EARNED and recieved every kind of punishment imaginable. That boy just does not do "no". We take shifts as to who is doing the spanking / punishment. It does get tiring you know. We have even resorted to bringing in the grandparents just so we can get a little sleep. Link to post Share on other sites
