Honestly, DT, kids today need involved parents. Intact families and stay at home mothers would go a long way toward correcting a lot of behavioral issues.
Children are exhibiting the symptoms of a breakdown in family values, and instead of repairing the family, people want to punish the kids.
Believe me, I'm FOR discipline. We still ask our children to say "Yes Ma'am", use good manners at the table, and to do chores. But I think it's unfair of us to blame children for behaving badly, when their parents essentially destroyed their safety net at home with their own brand of bad behavior.
i agree sis, we have always practiced discipline with love, a hug after the whippin, lol

Yes-it works! It worked for me! As a teacher who works w/others who've taught for 20 + years, they all tell me the same thing...when they took spanking out of schools, behavior went down the drain FAST! That being said, I agree with Miss B...it doesn't work for every child, it shouldn't be done out of anger, and it should be a last resort reserved for big time offenses. Otherwise it is useless. Like the mother of one of my worst behaved kids told me last year. "I tear his #@* up before he gets on the bus every morning and he still acts bad". Well DUH lady! If I got my behind whooped every morning even if I hadn't done anything yet, I would act however I wanted to. The kids was simply used to it and it didn't phase him...he knew he was gonna get it regardless.

I agree with you.....when I see a child acting up....I blame the parent. They have not taken the time to teach the child how to act. Raising children is work...work...work! And ALOT more prayer!
yeah, my kids are all grown up no regrets, but now i have a step son and daughter, who were raised with an absent father, wow i wanted a break too, but my pastor said your ministry is extended, lol

My son is 17 and is argumentative. Very much so, and I've tried everything to get him to stop. In fact, I've done so much trying to deter his behavior that my 14 yr old daughter WILL NOT argue with me at all! LOL! She just knows better. But Zak goes on and on.
He's too old for whippin now, although I would if I could. Even though he's taller than me, I'm not scared of him, and he'd submit to a whippin if I told him to. LOL!
If he wouldn't argue, he'd be a great kid. I guess if that's all I have to complain about.....

Some teenagers need a thorough beat down by a man that cares for them. They usually end up getting one, unfortunately, from the police and by then, it's too late.
You can beat your children without crushing their spirits.
