Do you think it's so wrong to hit your kids nowadays? If they have have been naughty?

I'm not talking about beating them for no reason.


If your child is scared of you... or is scared that he / she would be in BIG trouble if they done something bad / naughty - Is that such a bad thing?
 
I think children should be hit on rare occasions if they have done something very bad, or if they have gone mad in a tantrum just give them a quick slap.
 
Not on the face. But yes, discipline is necessary in certain few instances to prevent further action, discipline is a learning action that a child should face.
 
Yes i would.
A small slap never hurt anyone.

Kids are more shocked then hurt anyway.


My mum broke a few spoons and brushes over my arse as a kid :p
 
somtimes a slap is needed it doesnt need to be hard and it should be rarely used.

even a soft slap to a child who generally never gets hit by the parents will be enough to shock them.
 
if theyve done somthing servilely wrong yes, they need to associate some sort of bad reaction to doing a bad thing, but slapping or smacking at the last possible port of call
 
My father used to make me hold my hand out and he would slap the palm of my hand, it bloody hurt and it taught me how to behave my self quickly, I never did the same thing twice :P
 
Yep, I got a slap across the legs if I was naughty and "The slipper" if I was really naughty.

Didn't do me any harm, I'm not damaged goods and I don't feel the need to inflict violence on others. My parents weren't violent people, they were reasonable and measured with their punishment if it was needed.

On the flip side to that they were also rewarding of good deeds and behaviour, in my mind something that is absolutely paramount if you are going to discipline children.
 
I would, but there is a line that separates slapping from beating. I would be careful not to cross that line.

I used to get a slap when I was younger if I did wrong, I don't think it make me worse for it, only better.
 
Im all for disciplining children, when i was young the ultimate punishment i could have got was "wait until your dad gets home and hears about this!" That instantly puts the fear of God into a child. You can guarantee there will be no bad behavour for at least a week after that. And no sitting down either :( Why daddy why!
 
Yes if it was deserved. Watched that video posted elsewhere on here where that 10 year old kid slaps his mother. He needs a beating tbh. I part blame the lack of discipline nowadays on the attitudes of the younger generation. When I was a kid I knew that there would be consequences to my actions. Something I feel is lacking nowadays. I don't agree with beating a child but a slap on the arse never hurt anyone.
