I'm just curious since there is so much controversy surrounding how to discipline ******** in our society these days.

no beating is a form of discipline it teaches the kid that if you do not do what you are told you get beaten. Abuse is when you beat the ***** to where they need medical attention. Just five or more swats with a belt or hand with only make the *****'s behind red that is not serious

The "explanation" about what I did wrong usually sufficed!

When my mom got mad, we kids always knew to keep a distance until she calmed down but she would always say "wait until your father gets home" That's what kept us in line - he never did anything but it was the thought.

Grounding, paddling, sit in the corner. What worked best? I would say the paddle. It hurt for only a little while, but there was the lasting impression (not immediate impression) that I really did not want to provoke that response again.

right, kept me in line in school as well, still was used back then. Lasting impression for me. Still can say his name today , got a 3 ft paddle put on me. And ya know learned alot in that class too, cause I kept my mouth shut knowing what the result would be. No parent like to whip their ***** but there has to be consistences in punishment.

My parents never needed to resort to violence with me... They would make me do extra chores like chop wood, or do everybody's laundry for the week... Ya know, stuff like that.

the much used piece of 3/4 base board.

Known to all ******** of our household simply as "the board"

Funny thing, everytime my dad whipped us straight, he'd disappear for a time.
One day i found him after such an event.....He was crying.

Though we usually got grounded when we were past 13, I usually lost ATV privileges.


My father raised me to be the man i am today, All those who think spanking squelch a persons personality.....well i had mine squelched all over **** green earth.

Instilling a sense of fear in ******** sounds bad to me.

Don't know about that, fear of *** ( or Mom and Dad) is the first step to learning honor and respect. Kept me out of trouble too as I know if I did something contrary to what my parents taught I was in some trouble. And I turned out OK. in fact many of my fellow coworkers respect me actually ask me for advise as I do have a moral code that has not been broke yet.

Spankings! They used to say "Spare the rod, spoil the *****," but mine were done with a bare hand, not a "rod" or any other instrument.

However, I did a turn of three years in a military academy in Pasadena, 5th through 7th grades, where the owner, a WWI U.S. Army Major, used a stout oak paddle to administer punishment. If your infraction was bad enough, the "swats" were administered in front of the entire student body at a weekly ********. I recall there was one "upper classman" who was always in trouble and was the frequent recipient of ******** swats! I can truthfully say that I never suffered that humiliation!

Subtle guilt giving trips given with words and body language like dressing me up untill I could ****** move. Seeing no one **** and no toys with the parts silently drilled it into the mind that ********* was somehow evil. Unstable minded people. My step father ****** my ***** being extremely gentle with me. I innocently told my mom. You would have thought the asteroid Apophis just struck the earth.

my parent's used spanking as a last resort not a 1st
i wish i could lie & say shame on you mom & spanking is wrong but i do remember standing on my teachers desk & beating up kids in school so i am not going to lie & say that spanking is wrong but i will say that if you hit a ***** make sure you have a reason
because if not it is wrong no matter what kind of spanking you gave
& for those of you who are trying to ban spanking remember this
spanking's are spouse to hurt you will cry & you are spouse to hate it that's how parents got you to listen
if you didn't want the pain of a paddle or belt you would wise up & fast
if you were stubborn you kept getting a whooped they were in charge not you
you didn't have even close to 1/2 of the common sense you do now & you know it

It depended on the seriousness of the infraction. For the most serious offenses the sequence was: mom's spanking, followed by dad using a belt when he got home, then followed by the post-discipline discipline.

My dad's version of giving me a "timeout" was to have me stand with my arms straight out to the sides, palms up, for however long I was told. If my arms dropped too low I got an additional touch of the belt. As I got older and stronger, I had to hold books in my hands. I don't know a name for it, but as a kid I called it getting crucified. Not fun, but in time it gave me pretty strong shoulders. After that I was usually grounded for anywhere from a week to a month.

While the ***** care activists out there would undoubtedly claim that it was abusive, barbaric, criminal, etc., back then it was just called being strict.

Well, they either spanked me when I was younger or as I got older I lost privileges.

whoopins and cussin'. Damaged me for life...NOT! I got spanked with a wooden paddle many times. A leather belt many times. A hand many times. And earned every one of them. I still love my parents, who may not be with me much longer. I turned out to be a decent person.

I was born in 1948 and while growing up in the '50s I did not need too many whippings. I had 3 older sisters that were 8 10 and 12 years older and a strict mother, but she loved us very much!. My dad was a **** working diesel technician in the trucking industry and he was also a great dad! That said, we did not get out of line very often but when we did WE GOT A "REAL **** WHIPPING!!!" And guess what folks - we straighted up pronto! Neither me or my sister are warped or tramitized by all those whippings! Imagine that!

When my son was growing up he was a good ***** but ever so often he got out of line and I only had to whip him a very few times. When he got a little older, one day he was getting sassy and I asked him if he needed a whipping? He said if you do that I'll call the number that the school gave us for getting a whipping. I responed: well if I think you're getting out of control I'll give you a whipping and you can call that number and the authorities will ask if I whipped you and I'll tell them no, I beat the tar out of 'em. Then I'll go to jail, loose my job and your mother can't make what I make and there goes a lot of things we get for you on all the special occasions. Well, he had grown up to be a very good man and guess what: he ain't warped at all!!!

All the above said, I will say this. There is a HUGH difference in discipline and abuse!!! I would go to any one's rescue, provided I know it, for ***** molestation or abuse and spousal abuse - female or male!

when i was young it was socially acceptable to spank your kids on the ***, so that's what happened to me whenever i got in trouble and i turned out fine. when my parents where kids it was socially acceptable to use a belt and they turned out fine. although i do think a belt is a little extreme. but there is a difference between methods of discipline and ***** abuse.

I had several forms of discipline from my parents. Spankings, groundings and withholdings. The most effective was the spankings. Groundings did little to deter me as I had toys and games to keep me occupied. Withholding things from me was a good one too. I would get bored and hated the solitude of my room.

Spankings usually, for cussing it was soap in our mouths. I haven't really gotten disciplined since I was younger. When I turned about 13 it turned to grounding.
