Spanking

[Delta4Embassy]

For it when used as a correction for a life threatening situation.

You don't spank a kid for spilling his juice, you do spank a kid for bolting ahead of you and almost running into traffic.


Edit: and if this is about adult on adult spanking, then, meh, it doesn't do anything for me.

Inspired by 'you don't shoot a duck for quacking.'

Don't fault children for being childish.

it's not about "Fault" it's about explaining to a undeveloped person that "running into the street is bad".

Explaining this to a 3 year old and having them get it requires an extraordinary 3 year old. A quick spank and a "don't do that" gets the message across to 99% of three year olds.

Lotta the problem's death is a difficult concept for many adults, forget about children getting it.
But if they do something every children does due to lack of coordination like spilling things, no biggy, not a thing to be punished. Like puppies who don't yet have control of their own bladders until whatever age, you don't punish the puppy for peeing in the house. Didn't do it out of malice or mischief.

Funny you should describe that. It's exactly what happened to me. It alienated me from my father forever.

Did you run into traffic again?

That's just it --- I made no connection to the traffic. I completely forgot about that once I was being attacked.

How old were you, and how do you remember it?

And a quick spank on the ass is not being attacked. I was spanked, i was never beaten, there is a difference.

Not sure how old I was but we moved out of that house the summer when I was 5, so before that. Probably about 4 -- my memory doesn't go back much further.

And no, it was never "quick". Never heard of such a thing.

Exactly. Same thing with a 4-year-old walking into the street not knowing to look for moving cars.

I think the above displays a fundamental ignorance of how a child's mind works.

Not at all. What I see from most people who oppose corporal punishment in all forms is the adult-ization of a childs mind in the hope that reasoning with them will work.

Actually I'm basing the above on my vivid memory at the time.
And the reason it's vivid was the spanking. I wouldn't have even known what it was for if my mother hadn't explained it to me.

I had wandered out, somebody (not sure who) pulled me back. I could see why right there, and I got it. Then suddenly a few minutes later I'm being terrorized. I saw no connection and didn't understand why at all.

I suspect maybe my Dad was embarrassed that his child had to be pulled back, but that's not something that would ever occur to a four-year-old.

Considering the behavior and overall uselessness of the "non-spanked generation" of Millennials, I'd say they sharply represent their parents' fundamental ignorance of how a child's mind works.

I was lucky in that my son was extremely well behaved. I've probably only spanked him a couple of times in his entire life. When he was young, it was enough for me to take both of his hands into mine, look him the eyes and say "no" sternly. Lol. He would actually cry sometimes when I did that. I'm not perfect, and yes there were a couple of times when I lost my patience and spanked my son, but I felt horribly about it later and like a bully, TBH.

Yup. I rarely got the attention-getting whack. My dad had a look. After a certain age, that was all that was necessary.

I know who you meant. I used it to make a funny. It's how I deal with pain.

Refresh us though --- I don't remember what Spock said about it.

For kids who don't like it and spouses that do?

Totally open to interpretation! Although I'm not sure why anyone would be opposed to two consenting adults spanking one another....

 

[ChrisL]

My son was the cutest baby in the whole world. He was always smiling and happy. He was also very smart. I consider myself blessed because I know a lot of kids are not as "easy" as mine. He even slept through the night at like 4 weeks old. Too bad they don't stay babies for longer. Babies are so much fun.

 

[Bonzi]

For.

Without fear of punishment there can be no order.

Spankign like all negative reinforcement can work. Unfortunately, most don't do it properly and do it out of anger or delayed so long the subconscious linking with the undesired behaviour is lost. Have to do it right away, consistently, and it shouldn't be so hard to cause pain so much as shock or surprise, an 'attention-getter.'

I think restriction from desired activities work better - but requires more of your time and enforcement.

I don't think reason works - but pain doesn't have to be physical.....

I adore babies. Smelly babies are better than smelly teenagers.

 

[Bonzi]

What, no poll? And here I was all ready to spank my Pineapple.

I did my "poll" for the day, but I wish I had a "re-do" I would have done it another way... maybe tomorrow....

I didn't learn much from spanking, only that it hurt. But it never made me fearful to do it again, only to hide it better.......

Dealing with the pain of a few minutes is a lot easier to bear then doing without a phone, tv or other electronic device for long periods of time. Or not being allowed to play with your friends for a week.
Much more painful.....

If the adults are bad then maybe they need a spanking! Lol.
