Not calling violence "violence" and calling it spanking is rationalising violence.

Spanking should not cause injuries. If it does it is not spanking but assault.

I guess you never heard of psychological damage (which is what the topic of the thread is about), poor coward.

Nope. It is called consequences. Do something you have been told not to there needs to be punishment of some kind. I had neighbours that didn't believe in disciplining their brats. Worst kids I have ever seen. The mother was always threatening them with "consequences " but never followed through. The father mostly worked in camp to get away from his offspring. Probably what is wrong with so many people today. No discipline.

Yep that's the lazy way just giving in and giving up.

How can you tell if spanking causes psychological damage or not? Sometimes psychological effects are dormant for years.

Why does there have to be punishment of some kind? And why does it have to be in the form of violence? We punished our kids but not with violence. we made them do productive activities, like doing dishes for a week or weeding the gardens, or whatever.

What sort of people are they when they've passed the delays and grew out of it?

It's just a delay. What's the end result? Strong or you?

Touching the stove gives you a violent burn. Do you touch the stove again after? It's a life changing trauma for the better.

And again. Spanking doesnt need to be violent. All mammals do some sort of stern violent "appearing" act.

Be glad mom doesnt have claws and fangs.

Yeesh.

Causes irrational fear of fire.

Its when the parent holds the kids hand on the stove to prove the point, that's when your going a bit too far.
Get it?

 

[petros]

Are you okay?

That wouldn't work with younger kids. A quick swat on the behind is more effective and immediate.

If there is psychological damage it wasn't from getting a spanking from being bad. Abuse maybe but not from discipline. I don't have any faith in shrinks to start with since they have been known to plant ideas in kids and even adults that suit their own wacky ideas. One of the looniest people I ever met is a shrink.

That would be assault. Nothing to do with discipline.

Keeerect!
There are stupid people everywhere in this world.

Be careful, you might be in for a violent scolding.

When asked about the forms of punishment and discipline they engaged in, about 44 percent of those said they used spanking; 43.2 percent said that they used scolding.
Intriguingly, the team found that both seemed to be associated with a detrimental developmental effect. “In our research, language delays and sociocognitive delays were more prevalent among children who were disciplined for bad behavior by being spanked or scolded,” the authors note in their study.

Its actually called assault here in N.Z. if one strikes a child.
We still get children dying at the hands of their parent(s).

POOR NUT ZONE DOUG! His MASSIVE SOCIAL CONFUSION regarding so many issues reveals the quality of his childhood!


He does not understand the difference between discipline and assault!


But then he is also TERRIBLY CONFUSED about the difference between Soviet Socialism and Capitalism as well!

A light swat to get their attention is one thing, spanking is another. Some kids use bad behaviour just to get attention and that carries on if it isn't corrected early.

Shrinks are psychiatrists. They are different from psychologists, who are behaviourists. Psychiatrists deal with aberrant behaviours, those from disease, brain trauma, etc. So, you would toss out the entire field of study of behaviour just because you don't trust shrinks?
