The term 'whipped' is offensive to me and that's what I was reacting to.
Farm animals are whipped... not kids.
spanking teens is non effective. Spankings generally are only effective with young children as at that age consequences work best when handled immediately. Older ages though, groundings and loss of privileges work best.So are most teenage boys...
Brandon Marshall is the latest NFL player to be at the center of the league's domestic violence controversy.
Going to play a bit of Devil's advocate here..
Why is it...
Spanking/whipping/striking your child w/ a belt/switch/branch is called disciplining your child.
BUT
Spanking/whipping/striking your spouse w/ a belt/switch/branch is called domestic abuse ?
I would never hit a woman and especially would never strike a child so I dont understand why
one is OK and not the other.
A simple pat to the backside(i.e. bum) with the palm of your hand would be appropriate,as hopefully the padding from the one year old's diaper should deflect most of the blow. ANYTHING above that is highly inappropriate. Nowadays,what's stupid in today's PC environment is opening your mouth that you spank your kids period.Now it is being hinted that Reggie Bush could face some trouble because of his remarks about his disciplining his one year old. What Bush said is stupid and if you have to physically discipline a one year old, well, you are an idiot and you shouldn't be a parent, in my opinion. But, to open one up to possible investigation or discipline just for expressing an opinion is stupid. Social politics see's an opening with the NFL and they are taking full advantage.
That's why we have laws on the book that protect parents that use reasonable corporal punishment.A simple pat to the backside(i.e. bum) with the palm of your hand would be appropriate,as hopefully the padding from the one year old's diaper should deflect most of the blow.

I know that schools have continued to paddle students well into their high school years(whether it's effective or not is a different story). I'm going to say something HIGHLY controversial & very divisive,if you have a child too old to be "spanked," besides groundings & loss of privileges,if your "older" child does something egregious enough that warrants MORE than grounding(like if he/she disrespects you & curses at you),a SINGULAR slap to the face(once,ONLY ONCE) should send the message that they are out of line. They should be old enough that the risk of brain damage is low,& there are times you need to IMMEDIATELY get their attention about something they did wrong. Again,I know that not everybody will agree with this view.spanking teens is non effective.

I don't think I ever spanked the older kids once they got past 9 or 10. Maybe not even that old.
If they are too old to be spanked,they're old enough for a slap in the face. You're just hitting "different cheeks."I know that schools have continued to paddle students well into their high school years(whether it's effective or not is a different story).
