Spanking Your Child - Is It Necessary?
Messages:
Ok I know spanking your children is one of those debatable subjects among child "experts" but I am curious to know what other parent have to say on the subject.
As for me I just don't see any reason to justify spanking my child. Most of the time there is nothing they do that is bad enough to do so. Usually I notice bad habits bad behavior forming and put a stop to such things long before they become really problematic. Maybe I am just blessed with children who respond well to alternative punishments and dicipline.
Anyway, what are all your thoughts on spanking?

Question: My daughter is constantly whining! Every time she calls "Mooommeeeehh" I have this great desire to change my name or run and hide under the nearest bed! Please don't tell me "she'll out grow it," because if the whining continues she may not make it to her next birthday.
12 wonderful ideas on how to occupy toddlers and keep them out of mischief.
To discipline is to teach. When we discipline we teach our children to have self-control, to be considerate of others, and to feel secure. A home with no discipline is a recipe for chaos. Parents become exhausted and easily stressed. Children feel out of control, oftentimes exhibiting unacceptable social behavior without any real consequences. As parents we owe it to our family to maintain order. We discipline our kids as a means of setting limits and restoring a state of equilibrium in the home. But how do we effectively discipline? The first step to discipline involves saying "NO". This can be difficult for some parents at first since a verbal "NO" is usually encountered by whining, anger or sobbing from a child. But who said disciplining was an easy task? It is difficult as it involves an array of emotions, but doable since we are mature adults powered by love for our kids. Through our love for our children we are inspired to be positive role models and to discipline with love.
Think back to when you were growing up, and all the times when you felt self-doubt, confusion, and frustration. It's tough growing up! You can help your children get through the bumps and bruises of childhood by simply being there for them. Children need to know that when the whole world feels like it's crashing down around them, they have one safe, secure place to go, and one bottomless source of unconditional love.
