Should Parents Be Able To Hit Thier Kids?
Should parents be able to hit their kids? Does it depend on the situation? What draws the line? It a light slap or hit necissary?
Well I think parents od have the right to hit thier kids, I know there are other ways to punish them. I strongly disagree however when parents take it too far. I light hit or tap is necissary. I wish not to cause anything too heated or agrumentive so please keep it positive and repect other people's opinions. |
A light hit is all that's needed, probably explaining why they got it afterwards is a good idea too. It's about kids learning their lesson.
I got smacked as a kid and it never messed me up horrribly. |
We already had a big long discussion of this in OC. There were a lot of different opinions and quite a flamefest :|
I feel some kids need to be spanked. Not hit in the face, not hit on the arm, but spanked on the butt (only after warnings and if it's severe). Taking the extra cookie isn't a reason for spanking; writing on the walls is, though. |
Noppe don't believe in it, I couldn't imagine how guilty I would feel if I hit my daughter at all,
There are plenty of other ways of punishing kids. Tom |
I'll take the radical side and say that sometimes it might be necessary to hit them hard to give them a strong warning. There might be kids who need to take this kind of approach to stay in line. Is it right all the time though? No, probably not. If a kid stole a cookie should he/she be beaten? Absolutely not. But there are some circumstances where a hard hit is neccessary. Personally, I don't approve of "hands" as a punishment, mearly the belt. I got that when I was a kid.

I was spanked all the time as a kid, and I turned out just fine...sadistic sense of humor and cynical hatred of every human on earth aside.
I don't see what the fuss is about. If your kid's behaving undesirably, whap 'em on the rear end, explain what they did to earn the punishment, and watch as they don't repeat undesirable behavior again. |
I dont belive anyone should rase there hand to a child. parent or not. It sets a wrong example
|
I just think it's wrong to hit any one of any age to be quite honest. Even if they are a child, if I ever hit a child myself I would be filled with so much guilt and
sadness because it's just not right. So, no I don't think Parents should be able to hit their own child/children. |
Quote:
I personally would only spank boys. I don't think I could spank a girl, regardless of what she did... I'll leave that to the mother. |
Well, a light hit is fine. But not a huge hit because adults are like ten times stronger than kids. :U
|
I'm pretty sure I'm going to hit my children as I have little tolerance, so I say yes. As long its some thing like a light tap or something then its ok to me. Now punching, slapping, and kicking is were the line is drawn.

There's already a thread discussing this matter in Other Chat. You can view it here. Unfortunately, I can't move the posts (which is what I would normally do in this situation of there being a thread of the same topic) since they aren't in the forums I moderate. So unless a higher staff member comes along, this thread shall be locked! Please direct your comments, questions, and concerns to the disciplinary actions taken against children in the thread linked in this post.
