Spanking Your Child - Is It Necessary?
Messages:
ConcernedMom Said,
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?

Have you every been engrossed in a conversation with a friend when your train of thought is interrupted by a little voice pleading, "Can I please have a cookie?" So you patiently and politely inform your little one, "I'm talking honey, I'll be with you in a minute." You turn to your friend to continue your conversation only to hear that little voice again, "I want one right now. I'm hungry." You take a deep breath and sigh, "We'll be having dinner in a little while." Thinking that you've now solved the problem you turn to talk to your (somewhat-perturbed- and-I-can't-say-that-I-blame-her) friend, only to find your own words drowned out by a rather high-pitched voice, "I can't wait until dinner. I want one nowwww."
You've all been there. Your child isn't getting his way. He's crying, yelling, and stomping. As a frustrated parent, you may know, that temper tantrums are a normal childhood reaction to anger and frustration. But knowing this does not make it easier when your child's ballistic contortions are punctuated by her piercing screams. While it's normal for your child to have tantrums, your response to them will determine if she keeps having them and having them and having them...
One mother's thoughts on whether to use spanking as a form of discipline.
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.
