ive met too many shitheads that had nice ass parents before and are getting SCREWED in life. You may think you are doing a service to your child but not teaching them the idea that, if you do something bad enough, the hammer comes down...whats the repurcussion? I shit on the dining room table and I read the dictionary out loud. I hit my sister, I read the dictionary out loud. There needs to be another level, where physical contact, which im sure if you are learning about human interaction, is a HUGE thing.
Half the time I didn't even get spanked that hard. It was the fact I was getting spanked that had shown me I was finally having my DAD come out and repimand me and he wasn't as nice or fun as my mom and all of a sudden I had this huge index of good to bad actions, and what is crossing the line from a mom punishment to a dad punishment.
it just makes more sense.
if you are asking about child rearing in general, yes positive is better than negative, but absolutes of either are BS and like everything else in the world, its a mix. |
hey heyyyy . why are you dissing on my tactic? I said, "A to D NOW, *bitch*. I added the extra profanity to let the child know I WAS bigger, fear me.
Actually I see what your saying also.
I just don't want the only thing detering little Miss Sally from spitting in Johnny's face is the repercussions of my hand against her bosom. She needs to understand WHY you don't do those naughty things. I would want the childs process to be "oh, I shouldn't do this because it's disrespectful." instead of "oh, I'm not going to do this because I don't want to feel the sting of that spatulla against my shins."
