W...I think spanking is a parents discipline choice. We spank and it works. I agree with you Kim. You an incrediable loving mother, your children know that.<br /><br />We have to be in control of our children and not let them be in charge. Too many families have kids in charge or for that matter the adults that act as children. That's why the world is mostly immoral, selfish and childish.Frugal Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01917017303041521681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564307962198151308.post-9517332495951829662010-01-04T12:19:29.584-08:002010-01-04T12:19:29.584-08:00The vast majority of professionals agree that chil...The vast majority of professionals agree that child buttock-battering isn’t healthy. A marginal few (mostly religious fundamentalists) think that child bottom-slapping is good. They use the same selective literalist interpretation of the Bible as was used to justify “witch”-burning, depraved torture methods for those accused of sin and heresy, slavery, racism, wife-beating, oppression of women and a host of other social ills.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564307962198151308.post-43709607473461381482010-01-04T11:57:34.754-08:002010-01-04T11:57:34.754-08:00"Lecturing your children can sometimes be as ..."Lecturing your children can sometimes be as out of place as singing to people in mourning, but a whipping is a wise choice of discipline at any time." Sirach 22:6<br /><br />I don't read books and look to the media for advice in disciplining my children. I look to scripture and the ways of our wise ancestors. Somehow they had better control over their children and in turn the children had so much more respect for their parents than they do today. This problem of reading too many books and having the wild idea that spanking is a form of sexual abuse is the exact reason our world is in the state it is....crazy!<br /><br />I will say no more.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10376788487574078483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564307962198151308.post-66916235395867837732010-01-04T10:45:17.374-08:002010-01-04T10:45:17.374-08:00Child buttock-battering vs. DISCIPLINE:
Child but...Child buttock-battering vs. DISCIPLINE:<br /><br />Child buttock-battering for the purpose of gaining compliance is nothing more than an inherited bad habit.<br /><br />Its a good idea for people to take a look at what they are doing, and learn how to DISCIPLINE instead of hit.<br /><br />I think the reason why television shows like "Supernanny" and "Dr. Phil" are so popular is because that is precisely what many (not all) people are trying to do.<br /><br />There are several reasons why child bottom-slapping isn't a good idea. Here are some good, quick reads recommended by professionals:<br /><br />Plain Talk About Spanking<br />by Jordan Riak,<br /><br />The Sexual Dangers of Spanking Children<br />by Tom Johnson,<br /><br />NO VITAL ORGANS THERE, So They Say<br />by Lesli Taylor M.D. and Adah Maurer Ph.D.<br /><br />Most compelling of all reasons to abandon this worst of all bad habits is the fact that buttock-battering can be unintentional sexual abuse for some children. There is an abundance of educational resources, testimony, documentation, etc available on the subject that can easily be found by doing a little research with the recommended reads-visit www.nospank.net.<br /><br />Just a handful of those helping to raise awareness of why child bottom-slapping isn't a good idea:<br /><br />American Academy of Pediatrics,<br />American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry,<br />Center For Effective Discipline,<br />PsycHealth Ltd Behavioral Health Professionals,<br />Churches' Network For Non-Violence,<br />Nobel Peace Prize recipient Archbishop Desmond Tutu,<br />Parenting In Jesus' Footsteps,<br />Global Initiative To End All Corporal Punishment of Children,<br />United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.<br /><br />In 26 countries, child corporal punishment is prohibited by law (with more in process). In fact, the US was the only UN member that did not ratify the Convention on the Rights of the Child.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564307962198151308.post-72785788188120212602010-01-04T10:41:12.488-08:002010-01-04T10:41:12.488-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
