Corporal Punishment?

almost 7 years

Do you believe that physically disciplining a child is acceptable and an efficient way to teach them between right and wrong?

I would think fear can be a very effective and persuasive tool, but I don't think it should be applied to a parent and child dynamic. I just don't like the idea of hitting kids.

what does your morals say

Positive punishment - giving the target something negative

Negative punishment - taking away something the target likes

Positive reinforcement- giving target a reward

Negative reinforcement - taking away something bad

Reinforcement encourages behavior and punishment discourages behavior

Spanking your kids is a positive punishment

Ahhh nvm actually I concede to supermale philospher and psychologist zhuorb. That is a punishment and not a negative reinforcement.

Huh?? How is spanking your kid not a negative reinforcement? (Speaking as someone with intro psych education) From what I learned on this subject that is a cksssic example

why even would you hit your kid for running in the street?? is it really that hard to use words ??? if it's really that difficult to make a mental investment to understand your child then you really shouldn't have kids


This generation is going to breed a full culture of cucks holy fk lol.

It’s called negative reinforcement. Your children run into the street to chase a ball; if you slap them and tell them the dangers of it it’s for their own safety. Hopefully in the future they will associate bolting across the street with being slapped and more likely than not will not repeat their actions.

Simply telling a kid not to do something won’t work because children cannot understand the seriousness of words and are always in “play mode “

There is a reason we have juvenile rehabilitation and adult butt sex prisons





you are right but that is not what negative reinforcement is my dude

Children shouldn't be chastised for their mistakes. They think everything belongs to them, and they see it as an unnecessary evil when they are punished for doing something they think is "right".

Lol just do as the rest of the animal kingdom does and just let them learn for themselves not to do it.


Lions, both male and female, will take a swipe at their cubs when they get fed up with being jumped on and having their tails bitten. Young bears who return to their mother after she teaches then how to find their own food get cuffed around the head and driven off. Many primates will strike and even bite younger or inexperienced troupe members for doing things they shouldn't.

A lot of people think that "smacking" = Floyd Mayweather winding up a knockout punch to discipline their child

Literally it's a below-average strength smack most of the time that's just supposed to shock the kid

Science has proven that 80% of female children who are hit as children grow up with sexual desires of being spanked by “daddy”

First of all, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and no one holds the "Universal Truth" , so instead of turning this sensitive matter into a "i'm right you're wrong" kind of discussion, why not be more open-minded and tolerant?

Secondly, from my point of view violence only breeds more violence and resentment. Hoping your child will respect/obey you out of fear is a sad way to live your life. Ideally, you want them to develop their own set of moral values and do the right thing not because there is no alternative or because they have to, but because they want to and know that it is the good thing to do.

Your task as a parent is not to force your values onto them, your task is to show them the right path, guiding their steps but letting them express their free will and make informed and rational decisions. By doing so you show them respect and trust and you build a healthy relationship based on unconditional love and understanding. In return they will trust you, share their burdens with you and ask you for your advice and help, instead of hiding it from you out of fear.


and this is why the world is a fked up place today

You don't want your kid to be that guy.

loool ur dumb. disciplining your child isnt attacking them till theyre black and blue its installing hust enough fear into the child that if they do something they've been told not to do i.e steal, fight, smoke (ye lil 8 yr old brats smoke nowadays) then they'll get a smacking from their parent.

it does work but as always the western snowflakes with their rules and regulations(nit saying these are bad) cant ever find a middle ground.

Imagine having CPS paying you a perfectly justified visit because you're feeding your child pill 'n whiskey cocktails so he can't physically misbehave? Would you rationalise that with 'at least he isn't hurting himself'

That's a hilariously dumb modern-liberal stance. Some things are in fact clear cut; black and white - punching your child in the face is certainly on the side of things you shouldn't do.

Actually even then you shouldn’t judge other parents. All kids are different.

I don’t think you should judge mothers for the way they want to raise their children especially when you don’t have kids of your own.

they'll march out with little uniforms and salute as they go it'll be great

nah brats is an exaggeration, but idk how smacking is essential.

blacksnakemoan says

damn lmao you're all little brats if an adult telling you not to do something and then explaining why it was dangerous wasn't a good enough reason not to do it hahahah


You must have been the perfect child!!! Congrats!!!!
Kids don’t bloody listen to their parents half the time (I have 2 I should know) even though the threat of “the naughty step” works for my kids it won’t for others. So to say that we were brats because we didn’t listen is fcking ridiculous lol. Kids don’t understand “no” and even if they do their curiosity wins over most of the time. I hope when you have kids bsm they come out of the womb already disciplined

Parent I choose you. Parent use Corporal Punishment. Corporal Punishment is ineffective against child-type Pokemon. Parent use Long Drawn-Out Explanation. Long Drawn-Out Explanation is very effective against child-type Pokemon. Child has fainted.
