Can we use those to rate your posts as to whjy they are so far south of 'normal'?Eight Reasons to Spank your child..
1. Love.
You have to love your child enough to be tough and do what is necessary to get the desired result. Parent first, friend second.
2. You want to be respected.
To be feared (in the sense of reverence) is to be respected. Your children should be weary of going against your rules. It also teaches them to submit to authority regardless of whether or not they agree.
3. You want to teach them how to make good decisions.
Our destinies are determined by decision-making. Children have the option to obey or face the consequences, and they need to know consequences hurt.
4. You want them to have self-control.
When you are aware of what is on the other side of making a poor decision, it is easier to exercise restraint.
5. You want them to be accountable.
Every decision has an outcome, good or bad. Just as your reward your child for the good, you must also acknowledge and address the bad.
6. You want to set standards.
Children need limits to learn how to grow up with restraint. They will never be able to do whatever they want. Teach them to live by the rules set in place.
7. You see strength not weakness.
Western parents seem to assume fragility rather than strength. Spanking your child properly is not going to damage their self-esteem. Accepting mediocrity and dismissing poor behavior teaches them to indulge in being weak.
8. It works best.
Some kids need it, period. When time-out, talking and taking away toys doesn’t work, you have to get that butt.
