Slapping Your Children

For those in favour of hitting children to stop them being little toerags later in life can you explain why it is those kids most likely to be hit that are also most likely to be a complete pain in the classroom?

Sauce?
Tomato or brown will do.

It has always been the thought that the toerags are those who weren't given discipline.
 
The damage you cause when abusing your child is irreversible.

Smacking, name calling and generally being a complete dick all deterementally effect their development.



These videos help explain the huge amount of damage your doing to a child by hitting them. Its a barbaric act of cowardice on the part of the adult through the inability to control their emotions.

Of course, we I were a lad, if you got a backhander from a teacher for being out of line, you'd get another when you got home as the teacher had already spoken to your dad.

Form this experience, I learned 2 important rules in life:

1. Don't get caught.

2. If you get caught being a toe rag, it's going to hurt. So don't get caught.

Rubbish rubbish rubbish. My folks smacked me as a kid and I've grown up without any psychological issues. I still love my parents too - they've been amazing throughout my life.

I now have my own kid, and I haven't ever given him a smack and don't intend to; however, I'm not stupid enough to believe the ridiculous view that a smack will ruin his life, when there's billions upon billions of people who have already gone through life having been smacked as a kid without falling off a psychologicall cliff. Utter tosh to try and say otherwise.

93% scientific agreement that spanking is harmful to the child. (Outside the physical harm)

Just educate your self and watch the videos rather then just coming here and spouting your ******** bile.

My mrs works with problem children for a living and she'd certainly disagree with you.

In terms of parenting issues, the problem children in her experience come from parents who don't know how to correctly discipline their children, or just don't care about their children.

Parents who know how to correctly discipline their children and care about them generally have the least behavioural issues..

Correct discipline is varied, and that's up to the individual parent and sometimes individual child.. There is a world of difference between abuse and fair discipline.

Science shows your wrong. :)

12-13 studies have shown that children who are abused have a higher probability of delinquent and anti social behaviour.

When i was a kid, if i did something bad, i'm talking not about answering back or something little like that, i'd get a slipper right across my arse.

I deserved it and made damn sure not to do it again, still love my parents and i'd like to think i've grown up into a caring, responsible adult.
 
When I use to work as a youth worker a large number of the violent youngsters came from families where violence was present in the home life (what a surprise:rolleyes: if millions of years of evolution has shown us anything it's the fact we are a product of our environment )

Physically assaulting or psychologically bullying/belittling children is perfect examples of appalling parenting and people who do it should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves:mad:!!

Except the science shows your wrong. :)

Rather then listen to a propaganda laden video with ridiculously presented statistics, I'd rather listen to someone that actually works with problem children and sees the behavioural issues first hand..

We can all find 'studies' to support anything we want.. oh look, a little spanking is good for them.. Here.

You may want to read the articles you link.

"The press release says researchers from Harvard, Duke and several other universities interviewed roughly the same number of people as Gunnoe, and concluded that spanking 1-year-olds "leads to more aggressive and less sophisticated cognitive development in the next two years."

Propaganda laden, wow. Talk about burying your head in the sand.

Nope, as the video has done the work for me :)

Again, watch it and learn.

If you want to be taken seriously when you start talking about studies and papers you need to have read them yourself and be familiar enough with the methodology to defend it. And, for academic rigour, you should also be familiar with papers that draw different conclusions.

LOL, the ability to dissect information and form my own opinion is not burying my head in the sand.. did you read my link? it contradicts much of that video's agenda..

Perhaps you need to research a bit more? I can find plenty for/against, it's a great subject, and one my mrs is very well versed in..
