Hey everyone, I'm doing a class presentation on a hot topic on Thursday, and my topic is To Spank or Not to Spank. How do you feel about spanking your child? Do you feel that it's an apropriate punishment in this day and age? At what age do you feel the child should move on to other type of punishment? Do you feel that race plays a part in spanking? Do you think the rate/importance of spanking has gone down in the present generation as compared to the older generations? Do you feel that children's behavior now days has changed as a result of parents being scared to spank their child? Were you spanked as a child and do not spank your own kids and why/why not? I'd love your guys' view so i can have some talking points/statistics for my presentation. Thank you

    There is no research that I am aware of, good scientific peer reviewed research, not puff pieces, that suggest spanking is good. I think this was done in like the 70's and has been proven over and over and over again wight the same conclusions. So, it's not really a matter of opinion, more of one of ignorance. Many people ignore the research and spout their opinions. Which, really are meaningless.

    We've had this thread before, and if past is any indicator of future behavior things in here are going to get so ugly we're all gonna need a good spanking.

    Ah, why'd you delete your, "I think it's appropriate to spank in dangerous situations, like if the kid almost touched an electric socket"? :(

    I was spanked growing up but I do not spank my children. While I am not opposed to it, our kids respond well to timeouts. The spankings would have occurred if they did not respond to the time outs.


    That being said:

    I don't spank my kids. Not even a slap on the hand. I don't think it teaches kids right from wrong. I read a lot of parenting books this year (my son was entering the terrible 2's and I was finding myself re-thinking the whole no spanking thing) and while all of them had different parenting techniques, the one common message was that spanking was more detrimental than beneficial. One book in particular called Brain Rules for Baby stated that the research linking spanking and behavioral issues is more robust than the linkage between exposure to lead and lowered IQ.

    I think hitting a child takes no effort while parenting using logical persuasion and influence does.

    Yes, and I strongly believe in giving spankings, naughty or not.
