In Defense of Spanking

Spanking

I am not in favpr of any spankings. Unfortunately for many of us, our parents spanked us, I think, for some kind of sexulk gratiification. From the age of 4 or 5 till I was about 16, I was soanked by my parents and older sister. AT first, the spankings were on my bottom. After a while, if I was deemed to be a very bad girl, they would "spank" me on my genitals; that is they would spank my vulva. The pain was severe. There was never any physical injury, but the vulva and clitoris are sensitive tissue.

Good morning! The excellent site, has especially liked design. Thanks.

I am from Slovakia and bad know English, give true I wrote the following sentence: "Synthroid should be used with caution in children."

THX :(, AtherTon.

I have a few words.

It ceases to amaze me that people come up with humorous names to justify their behavior: wacks, smacks, pops, or spanks, they all mean the same thing, legalized assault and battery.

Now imagine the same behavior done to a non-consenting adult. It instantly ceases to be funny. The victim would call 911, the suspect would be arested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon or sexual battery and if convicted serve jail time.

Mr. Dealey, where is your merit. I would like to know. If you didn't know, your paddling does more harm than good according to Dr. Albert Bandura who conducted the Bobo doll experiment that states that children learn new behaviors through observation, also known as modeling or monkey see, monkey do learning. Think about what type of behavior is being modeled when a human being asks another to bend over to be allowed to be beaten on their buttocks. You can just imagine. Please be more educated on child development and psychology before you place something like this on the internet. I would like to question how much knowledge you have in this type of information. It's true, corporal punishment has zero merit whatsoever. Experts in child development, psychology, medicine and many others agree. Look at the studies conducted just in this one issue. I think you will change your mind. I would also erge you to read "Plain Talk about Spanking" and I think your mind would be changed.

Thank you,

Spanking Girls is Sexual Abuse

I agree with the comment above. Obviously, it's also abusive to whip a little girl's genitals. My parents used to strip me naked and whip my bare vulva with a belt. Nothing could ever hurt as much as that did. Spank only on the bottom!

paddle spanking

Is paddling allowed in Texas Schools? If so doesn't the School require Parental Consent? Are the paddles being used have holes? Are Students asked to bend over grab their ankles before being spanked? How many times are the Students Spanked as punishment? 1 time? or more.

Spanking Girls is Sexual Abuse

A girl's buttocks and the backs of her thighs contain sexually sensitive nerve endings. Those nerve endings are naturally stimulated during dorso-ventral copulation (rear-entry sexual intercourse). Violently striking those areas of a girls body can unintentionally teach her to associate violent assault with sexual stimulation. Then, as an adult, she may be so severely deranged that she is unable to marry and have a family of her own.

A girl's buttocks and thighs are functional components of her reproductive system. Don't hit her sex organs!

corporal punishment is wrong

I live in Australia where corporal punishment in schools is BANNED and has been since 1983 (a quarter century ago) I was shocked to find that some US states still allow it. I am also STRONGLY against spanking or ANY kind of child physical "discipline" at all ever. As a child I was spanked with a wooden spoon and a hairbrush often in anger and it has left me fearful and anxious as well as angry. You cannot spank your wife or husband because they do something you dont like and children deserve MORE protection not less. Spanking just leads to worse behaviour. Kids need to be given time out or have their privileges taken away or in school get detenttions etc.This is not the 1950s people should get over their old fashioned views. I hate when i see kids be yelled at, belitted or hit by their parents. Spanking and chastising is seen as wrong here although not illegal for parents yet. It is banned in 25 countries and growing each year across the world and to me that is a great thing.

I saw the Timmy Texas Case on TV

The use of physical force only models inappropriate behavior and is demeaning and physically/emotionally dangerous. Domination via fear is not the way to go. In 2008 there are many ways to work with kids and instill fair and safe discipline. As Dr Phil said, " Find the currency that your kid responds to and use it to improve behavior.." It is quite true according to research that kids exposed to corporal punishment exhibit more aggression and have more emotional problems. The old story of " I got spanked and I am fine, " does not work.....if you are spanking kids that you must not have gotten over it yourself either. Let's go: time out, positive reinforcement, firm redirection, and yes, sometimes just ignoring or not reacting to the behavior.. I doubt spitballs would be much fun if no attention were paid. Hey, I dont believe in detention either.. solve the problem right away and move on! Do not humiliate a young person. we all make mistakes and have attitudes at times.

Great debate on spanking

There's a fantastic debate going on between pareting expert John Rosemond and the Center for Effective Discipline. Both are extremely passionate about their views -- and the user comments are quite compelling. Check it out at: http://www.opposingviews.com/questions/is-spanking-an-acceptable-form-of-discipline
