Admin	Disciplining Children. Posted : 16 Jul, 2012 05:12 AM The bible in Proverbs 29:17 says; Discipline your son, and he will give you peace, he will bring delight to your soul. Discipline is a responsibility of a parent, right? Is it right to use physical ways of discipline for example giving a child a few canes on the bottom? I am asking this because many parents would never do that to their children, they think it is a wrong way to discipline a child. thoughts? May be I am posting this on a wrong place but ladies too are welcome:) Post Reply
View Profile History	Disciplining Children. Posted : 19 Jul, 2012 08:40 AM I was disciplined quite harshly when I was a kid. My dad believed in the power of the belt. I will never forget most of the spankings I got. I also remember what I learned from all of them. Some were done out of anger and maybe were not necessary but I learned right from wrong. The anger part is what separated me from a real close relationship with my father not the spankings, but the spanks were very effective for me. I also speak from the parent side of it as well. I got in serious trouble from the state just for giving my children a spank. At no time did they find out if it was effective or if it scared my children it was all based on a nosy neighbor assuming that she new what she didn't. My children are not scared of me and after a long drown out investigation they determined that I wasn't going to hurt them. I don't think I will ever be rid of them. (the State I mean.) They seem to always find a way to ask my children if I have hurt them in any way. All this based on a stupid philosophy that all spanking is abusive. That philosophy is abusive. My Kids are more scared of them than they are of me. But that doesn't seem to matter to the state. I will, however, agree that there are often alternatives that are often more effective. I have learned to use these and it does make things a bit easier sometimes, but I will not play philosophical mind games with my kids. They will always know very clearly what I mean and my no is no and my yes is yes. Whatever our methods for discipline, they need to be done with our kids best interest in mind. Love our kids because it is about them not us. Post Reply

Posted : 22 Jul, 2012 05:13 AM Very good point Chappy, It is so important we set clear boundries for our children and it is also important that husband and wife do not undermine the other. I think this is more common. One feels the other is to harsh and they compensate. Or the other dismisses the others dicipline behind the others back. These things that go on every day in the real world are so counterproductive and turn out confused manipulitive children. We dont want that in our society. We have enough dont we? Post Reply
