Posts Tagged ‘spanking kids’
If you have been reading my blog for a while you know by now that I have no problem with spanking little butts.
I have 2 little girls that I love with all my heart. They are my raison d’etre. I love and cherish these girls more than my 2 eyes but at the same time I discipline them, if its call for I pop little hands and legs.
I came across this article on Mom Logic and the writer swears that any kind of spanking in abuse.
Spanking is a very controversial subject and I can respect other people thoughts on it. If you choose to NOT spank you kids and have some other parenting methods that works for you then GREAT!
However, don’t tell me that I’m abusing my girls just because I choose to pop their little naughty butts.
I can not emphasize enough that spanking is NOT beating, Spanking is NOT bruising, Spanking is NOT Abusing.
Child abusers SHOULD go to jail! but parents who discipline in a proper way are NOT abusers.
I know their are people out there who just shouldn’t be parent period! They use their kids as punching bag to vent frustration and anger and call it spanking, which is probably why some others just see spanking as an evil acts.
In my opinion a parent should NOT discipline a child if you are angry and frustrated better yet you shouldn’t do anything while you angry or frustrated. Its like driving under the influence.
Spanking is discipline, Some kids may not need to be spank while some others do depend on their personality.
In my opinion, I think it is more dangerous for a child to be under the watch of someone who claim that spanking is abuse, because they don’t believe in spanking so when little boogers start to throw naughty fits they don’t know how to handle it – they respond in frustration and anger and start smashing heads. All I say is poor little kid and SMH!
DO you see spanking as abuse? why? or why NOT
Feel free to disagree, I won’t spank you *wink*

Early Spankings Make for Aggressive Toddlers, Study Shows
I came across this article about a study who claimed that spanking makes kids aggressive and lower their IQ.
say what?
At the risk of sounding totally judgmental and bias I’m gonna say that is complete bologna! These studies usually study about 100 families at the time (I’m not so sure) So I’m gonna present my own study on about the same number.
I went to super ultra strict all girls catholic school, where we study latin, greek, memorize chapters of history and social sciences, math, physics and chemistry. Failure “to know your stuff” usually guarantee you a trip to sister Exume’s office for a skirt holding spanking. Although taking this trip down memory lane kinda make me slightly angry and wanna pull sister Exume’s wig out… (I never did) I’m in no way Aggressive! All the girl from my promotion are Doctors, Lawyers, Computer engineers, Nurses, Teachers… strong smart women. When we occasionally meet or facebook we hardly recall the spankings but all the good time and fun we’ve had in school.
My point is our IQ’s didn’t drop we grew up to be smart successful women.
That was just spanking at school… Now at home: although my mom had master “the look” (you know the one that goes “boy you gonna get IT”)to a point that she didn’t even need to spank anymore. Occasionally someone would get out of line and get spank. I got spank a number of time, My sister got spanked quite a lot, and my brother got spanked a whole lot. He is Electrical engineer graduate top in his call they even ran out A’s to give him. Great kid! never got him trouble or anything. My sister’s a Nurse smart successful woman also, and I am a computer engineer, happy, never been to a shrink chair nor plan to. We never got in a fight or behave anywhere aggressively. Once in a while I have to call on Jesus to help not pull someone wigs out… but who hasn’t? especially when someone walk up to me and told me my cute little baby was too FAT and I need to put her on a diet pfft!
(If you get a beat down it has nothing to do with me being spanked as a child) So my study totally contradict their study. I wonder what exactly they mean by “spanking”?
Spanking is NOT ABUSE! it’s not smashing heads and beating like they just stole from the king. The Bible say “spare the rods spoil the child” and turn around and said “do not irritate your child” so IMO spanking is not something you do out of anger, you don’t just lashed out on your kids like you crazy. Spanking is correcting with love and patience, not pounding on a child like a boxing bag. I’m pretty sure if we compare their idea of spanking and what I know we could probably agree on something… Anyway I know this is a sensitive subject so what do you think? were you spanked as a child? do you think it has affect you in any way? Do you spank your own kids? The floor is yours ladies!
